The contributors to the volume explore the different perspectives on human sociality and social and political constitution that practices typically understood as sorcery, magic and ritual reveal. In doing so the authors are concerned to break away from the dictates of a western externalist rationalist understanding of these phenomena without falling into the trap of mysticism. The articles address a diversity of ethnographic contexts in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. 606 $aWitchcraft$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aOccultism$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aRationalism$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aWitchcraft 615 0$aOccultism 615 0$aRationalism 676 $a306.4 702 $aKapferer$b Bruce 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798123603321 996 $aBeyond rationalism$93688094 997 $aUNINA
