When approaching the multiplicity of the spiritual experiences of healing, ethnographers are often presented with ideas of the existence of other worlds that may intersect with the so-called material or physical worlds. This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the unknown-be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an other-shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.
