Additional thoughts

1. I just saw that the speaker in this week’s VMMA seminar will be relevant for our discussions about  spiritual commodities this week

Myriam Lamrani (Harvard & Panteion University).  Friday 4 February 2022, 12pm

Images on the Move: Migrant Saints ‘Beyond’ the Mexico-US Border.

2. I mentioned Jeanne Favret-Sadaa’s work about witchcraft in rural France in class.  You can download her book, The Anti-Witch, using the link below. Chapter 6 . Being Affected is particularly relevant to our discussion after the film.

3. Finally the introduction to the Pelkmans’ ‘Ethnographies of Doubt’, which explored ambiguity and not knowing as a starting point for anthropological inquiries, another issue we discussed this week.Pelkmans.pdf
