A Celebration of Demons, Paperback / softback Book

A Celebration of Demons Paperback / softback

Part of the Explorations in Anthropology series

Paperback / softback

Out of stock

Description

The Sinhalese exorcism rituals are perhaps the most complex and the most magnificent in performance still extant.

For this second edition, the author has written a new preface and introduction in which he argues that the techniques of healing in Sri Lanka and the aesthetics of this healing cannot be reduced to Western psychoanalytic or psychotherapeutic terms, and develops new and original approaches to ritual and the aesthetic in general.
