Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper focuses on contemporary witchcraft accusations and customary justice. By using a case study from Côte Ivoire as example, it looks at how supposed witched are detected, how innocence or guilt is established in witchcraft cases, and how witchcraft is understood in relation to state laws and the practice of customary justice. It is shown that divination plays an important role in the customary judicial process, as divination creates the conditions for the settling of communal disputes. It is further shown that communication with the spirit world is essential in the divinatory process, and that the role of diviners is important in the reconciliation process. Overall, divination has an important role to play when bridging the gap between state legality and local norms and practices.

Établir l’innocence ou la culpabilité dans les affaires de sorcellerie contemporaines.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cet article jette un regard comparatif sur les accusations de sorcellerie et la divination contemporaines en Côte d’Ivoire et au Nicaragua. Il se focalise sur la manière dont les supposées sorcières/sorciers sont détectées, dont l’innocence ou la culpabilité est établie dans les cas de pratiques de sorcellerie, et dont la sorcellerie est comprise et traitée. En Côte d’Ivoire plusieurs groupes socio-culturels, pratiquent souvent des rites de « l’interrogation du cadavre », appelé aussi « port de cercueil » afin de déceler les causes et éventuellement l’auteur de la mort, si celle-ci paraît comme provoque par des pratiques de sorcellerie. Au Nicaragua, les actes de sorcellerie sont établis, et les sorcières sont identifiées, par des guérisseurs qui peuvent utiliser des miroirs, des boules de cristal, des plantes spirituellement « activées » et divers objets dans le cadre du processus divinatoire. L’article montre que, dans les deux ca d’études, dans les faits de pratiques de sorcellerie, la divination est une partie importante du processus judiciaire et de réconciliation coutumière.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Familial Occult addresses the presence of occult experiences in some scholars' families and how that has affected their epistemological and ontological worlds, as well as their identities as scholars. Those with backgrounds in the familial occult often experience a series of conflicting relationships and different ways of interacting with binaries such as the subjective and objective, a powerful conceptual couple still governing academic thinking. While much has been written on encountering the occult in fieldwork or becoming an apprentice in an occult practice, little yet has been published in the academic literature about growing up with the occult.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper focuses on divination and customary justice on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. By using a case study among the Miskitu people as example, it looks at how supposed witches are detected and how innocence or guilt is established in witchcraft cases. It is shown that divination plays an important role in the customary judicial process, as divination creates the conditions for the settling of communal disputes. It is further shown that communication with the spirit world is essential in the divinatory process. Overall, divination has an important role to play when bridging the gap between state legality and local norms and practices.

Facing the Challenges of Cultural Competence in Swedish Mental Healthcare
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Kritisk etnografi. ; 3:2, s. 55-68
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden today, with its multifaceted and diverse population, there are increasing demands on the healthcare system to offer culturally competent care to reduce health disparities. Healthcare professionals are expected to be culturally sensitive and competent in clinical encounters to meet the diverse needs of patients/clients, who may belong to various refugee or minority groups. Based on two case studies, the Somali-Swedes and the Sami people in Swedish Sápmi, I discuss some of the multifaceted and complex challenges in Swedish mental healthcare. It is argued that an anthropologically informed approach, and the role of the anthropologist as mediator and educator, may contribute to equal, effective, and sensitive forms of holistic, nonessentialist, culturally competent mental healthcare.
