The Body, Tongues, Healing, and Deliverance
The Body, Tongues, Healing, and Deliverance
This chapter transitions from language to concerns about embodiment and bodily boundaries, as it ethnographically depicts and addresses speaking in tongues (also known as glossolalia), healing, and demonic attack as instances of the diagrammatic miraculous. It concludes by arguing that demonic attack is a potential involution of the charismatic diagram, where the relation between constituent elements of the diagram become indistinct, and where the force of surprised becomes associated with willful or unwilling forces, instead of catalyzing willing forces.
Keywords: Embodied Religion, Bodily boundaries, Glossolalia, Healing, Demons, Demonic Attack, Demonic Deliverance
