Book: The Spider Dance
Chapter: La Temperanza / Temperance
Blurb:
In this chapter the author, by offering detailed ethnographic descriptions of family constellations and other spiritual practices, shows the possible connections between the "expanded present" historicity, well-being, and healing. In doing so, and in conversation with studies on relational ontologies and spirit possession, she shows how the experiences of her interlocutors could be read as a way to challenge neoliberal subjectivities, and to embody and imagine alternative ways of being.
