Antropološka proučavanja fenomena opsednutosti - društveni aspekti i implikacije
Anthropological research of the phenomenon of spirit possession: Social aspects and implications
Апстракт
Rad se bavi teorijskim razmatranjima fenomena opsednutosti u antropološkim krugovima u svetu. Predstavljeni su osnovni teorijski postulati i promišljanja različitih manifestacija ovog fenomena od strane autora koji su najviše doprineli njegovom proučavanju. U radu je predstavljen razvoj istraživanja, etnografski materijal zabeležen u brojnim kulturama, a polazeći od osnovnih postavki i daljih razrada pristupa fenomenu opsednutosti od strane A. M. Luisa i sledbenika njegove "škole", posvećena je pažnja polemikama koje su vođene u antropološkim krugovima u vezi sa razmatranim problemom, prikazani su različiti aspekti sa kojih je fenomen posmatran, kao i različiti teorijsko-metodološki pravci putem kojih se ovom problemu vremenom pristupalo. .
Spirit possession, in its many forms, represents an important factor in numerous religions and cults throughout the world. In the international context, work on spirit possession is abundant, and theories and their implications have been developed based on rich and lively ethnographic material gathered in many cultures. Unfortunately, in the context of national disciplinary production, this phenomenon was not thoroughly researched in anthropological circles. The most significant researcher of the problem of spirit possession and its social consequences is undisputedly British social anthropologist A.M. Lewis. Lewis introduced concepts such as peripheral and central possession to the study of spirit possession; he offered classification of different types of possession; and demonstrated that this phenomenon represents, for those who are in any way marginalized or disempowered, a rare opportunity to draw attention to their problems and a channel of vertical social mobility. Apart from th...e wide recognition and publicity it acquired, Lewis’ work also attracted a number of criticisms from authors of different background, but those criticisms are mostly poorly argumented or fail to take into account the additions and elaborations of results offered by Lewis himself. In the past decades, the problem of spirit possession has been approached from various points of view; ethnographies were filled with new examples; its various functions discovered in societies where it plays a significant role; and different theoretical and methodological approaches developed. Among the most significant contributions to the study of this phenomenon are those offered by authors such as Gellner, Gomm, Giles and Lambeck. However, after years of studying this phenomenon, we can conclude that even authors who claimed to be making a qualitative leap from A.M. Lewis’ approach just, in fact, applied his premises on new ethnographic material, and occasionally pointed to new functions or roles this phenomenon can assume in different communities. .
