Diana Espirito Santo 
Developing the Dead [EPUB ebook] 
Mediumship and Selfhood in Cuban Espiritismo

Sokongan

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 Esprito 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 self-consciousness. Developing the Dead shows how Espiritismos self-making process permeates all aspects of life, not only for its own practitioners but also for those of other Afro-Cuban religions.
