Mind Over Mind explores the phenomenon of spirit possession from both anthropological and psychological perspectives. Spirit possession is ritually important in many cultures from India to Brazil to Madagascar, but has tended to be narrowly regarded from modern American and European perspectives as a psychopathological problem of multiple personality disorder. This book proposes an integration of anthropological and psychological approaches, concluding with a new analytical framework for understanding spirit possession and resolving the controversy surrounding the 'reality' of possession.

Enter the fascinating world of the Condomble regions of Brazil, where interaction between spirits and human is considered an everyday occurrence. Jim Wafer uncovers the social life, rituals, folklore, and engaging personalities of the villagers of Jacari, among whom trances, sorcery, and spirit possession demonstrate the coexistence of different kinds of reality.This ethnography is intriguing not only because of the originality of its approach to the more enigmatic aspects of another culture but also because it uses insights gained from participation in that culture to reflect on the paradoxes inherent in the writer's own culture, and in the human condition in general.

En Asie du Sud, la possession par des divinités ou des esprits, entendue comme cette présence étrangère à soi en soi, n’a guère été prise en compte dans la réflexion générale s’intéressant à ce type de manifestation. Dans le sous-continent lui-même, son étude s’est focalisée sur les zones géographiques périphériques et concentrée majoritairement sur les « tribus ». De plus, nombre d’interprétations l’ont réduite à une catégorie autonome, perdant de vue qu’il s’agit de l’une de ces interactions parmi tant d’autres, à la croisée des idiosyncrasies et des symboles partagés, par lesquelles les acteurs mettent en forme leur monde. En articulant leur réflexion sur la parole, le corps et le territoire, les quinze auteurs de ce volume ont voulu restituer la multiplicité des significations et la variété de ses liens avec toute une série de pratiques sociales et d’institutions, de discours et d’émotions. La possession, comme trajectoire de vie, perception des espaces propres aux dieux et aux hommes et représentation de la société, y compris dans ses dimensions identitaires et politiques, est à la fois mode de pensée et d’action. Ainsi apparaît-elle, par excellence, comme un « travail de la culture » qui lie intimement perception individuelle, modèle cognitif et société.
