A major empirical contribution to the debate about antirepresentationalism and posthumanism that has been agitating the entire discipline of anthropology in recent yearsStephan Palmié author of The Cooking of History How Not to Study AfroCuban Religion   The most provocative and complete portrayal of contemporary Cuban espiritismo available It underscores the embodied character of espiritista practices and offers a dynamic portrayal of espiritista mediums crucial roles within a complex of AfroCuban religions that includes ocha palo monte and other faithsReinaldo L Román author of Governing Spirits Religion Miracles and Spectacles in Cuba and Puerto Rico 18981956   To read this book is to enter into an apparently alien world and yet find that it makes complete sense and for that reason Developing the Dead is a model of the anthropological enterpriseCharles Stewart author of Dreaming and Historical Consciousness in Island Greece   Based on extensive fieldwork among espiritistas and their patrons in Havana this book makes the surprising claim that Spiritist practices are fundamentally a project of developing the self             When mediums cultivate relationships between the living and the dead argues Diana Espírito Santo they develop learn sense dream and connect to multiple spirits muertos expanding the borders of the self This understanding of selfhood is radically different from Enlightenment ideas of an autonomous bounded self and holds fascinating implications for prophecy healing and selfconsciousness Developing the Dead shows how Espiritismos selfmaking process permeates all aspects of life not only for its own practitioners but also for those of other AfroCuban religions.

Located in a garden on the outskirts of Bristol, the Lodge is a wooden shed specially constructed for the purposes of mediumship development and spirit communication. Through a combination of ethnographic observations in séances – including his own experiences of mediumship development – and interviews with spirits and their mediums, Hunter delves into a sub-urban world of trance states, ectoplasm, spirit lights and discarnate entities. Issues relating to altered states of consciousness, personhood, performance and the efficacy of ritual are examined in order to make sense of the processes by which spirits become manifest in social reality. A large part of Manifesting Spirits is given over to a broader discussion of anthropology\'s evolving attitudes toward the \'paranormal\' as a component of the \'life-worlds\' of many people across the globe, and argues for the development of a non-reductive anthropological approach to the paranormal, and mediumship in particular. This emerging framework – referred to as ‘ontological flooding’ does not attempt to explain away the existence of spirits in terms of functional, cognitive or pathological theories (as most mainstream theorists tend to do), but rather embraces a processual perspective that emphasizes complexity and multiple interconnected processes underlying spirit possession performances and experiences.
