Archives of conjure: stories of the dead in Afrolatinx cultures
In Afrolatinx religious practices such as Cuban Espiritismo, Puerto Rican Santería, and Brazilian Candomblé, the dead tell stories.

| Zusammenfassung: | In Afrolatinx religious practices such as Cuban Espiritismo, Puerto Rican Santería, and Brazilian Candomblé, the dead tell stories. Communicating with and through mediums’ bodies, they give advice, make requests, and propose future rituals, creating a living archive that is coproduced by the dead. In this book, Solimar Otero explores how Afrolatinx spirits guide collaborative spiritual-scholarly activist work through rituals and the creation of material culture. By examining spirit mediumship through a Caribbean cross-cultural poetics, she shows how divinities and ancestors serve as active agents in shaping the experiences of gender, sexuality, and race.Otero argues that what she calls archives of conjure are produced through residual transcriptions or reverberations of the stories of the dead whose archives are stitched, beaded, smoked, and washed into official and unofficial repositories. She investigates how sites like the ocean, rivers, and institutional archives create connected contexts for unlocking the spatial activation of residual transcriptions. Drawing on over ten years of archival research and fieldwork in Cuba, Otero centers the storytelling practices of Afrolatinx women and LGBTQ spiritual practitioners alongside Caribbean literature and performance. Archives of Conjure offers vital new perspectives on ephemerality, temporality, and material culture, unraveling undertheorized questions about how spirits shape communities of practice, ethnography, literature, and history and revealing the deeply connected nature of art, scholarship, and worship |

Communicating with and through mediums’ bodies, they give advice, make requests, and propose future rituals, creating a living archive that is coproduced by the dead. In this book, Solimar Otero explores how Afrolatinx spirits guide collaborative spiritual-scholarly activist work through rituals and the creation of material culture. By examining spirit mediumship through a Caribbean cross-cultural poetics, she shows how divinities and ancestors serve as active agents in shaping the experiences of gender, sexuality, and race.Otero argues that what she calls archives of conjure are produced through residual transcriptions or reverberations of the stories of the dead whose archives are stitched, beaded, smoked, and washed into official and unofficial repositories. She investigates how sites like the ocean, rivers, and institutional archives create connected contexts for unlocking the spatial activation of residual transcriptions. Drawing on over ten years of archival research and fieldwork in Cuba, Otero centers the storytelling practices of Afrolatinx women and LGBTQ spiritual practitioners alongside Caribbean literature and performance. Archives of Conjure offers vital new perspectives on ephemerality, temporality, and material culture, unraveling undertheorized questions about how spirits shape communities of practice, ethnography, literature, and history and revealing the deeply connected nature of art, scholarship, and worship RELIGION / Ethnic & Tribal bisacsh Afro-Caribbean cults Blacks Religious life Caribbean Area Blacks Caribbean Area Rites and ceremonies Material culture Religious aspects Spirits Spiritualism Caribbean Area Water Religious aspects Women and spiritualism Caribbean Area Afrobrasilianischer Kult (DE-588)4141593-0 gnd rswk-swf Medium (DE-588)4038242-4 gnd rswk-swf Ahnen (DE-588)4385397-3 gnd rswk-swf Geister (DE-588)4130188-2 gnd rswk-swf Afrokaribischer Kult (DE-588)7523783-0 gnd rswk-swf Afrokaribischer Kult (DE-588)7523783-0 s Afrobrasilianischer Kult (DE-588)4141593-0 s Medium (DE-588)4038242-4 s Geister (DE-588)4130188-2 s Ahnen (DE-588)4385397-3 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-231-19433-4 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-231-19432-7 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780231550765 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
