Ecstatic Encounters: Bahian Candomblé and the Quest for the Really Real

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:For over a hundred years, writers, artists, anthropologists and tourists have traveled to Bahia, Brazil, in search of the spirit possession religion called Candomblé. Thus, successive generations of followers have seen a long, steady stream of curious outsiders coming to their temples with notebooks and cameras, questions and inquisitive gazes, or ogling eyes and the hope of inclusion. This study asks what seduced these outsiders to seek access to the Afro-Brazilian religious universe and, conversely, how did believers respond to the overwhelming interest in their creed and to becoming an object of the outsiders’ imaginations.“Thriving in the gap between the sensuous fullness of life and the impossibility of its cultural representation, Ecstatic Encounters opens mind-blowing vistas for 'writing culture' in anthropology today.”— Birgit Meyer, Free University of Amsterdam.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
