Herdt, Gilbert H. and Michele Stephen, Eds. (1989). The Religious Imagination in New Guinea. New Brunswick, Rutgers University Press. A seminal collection of studies of New Guinea diverse religious scene by the leading experts on New Guinea religions and societies. [from the back cover] Anthropology/Religion“[An] exceptionally fine book.»—L. L. Langness, U.C.L.A. The editors of this volume and their contributors-Bruce Knauft, Eytan Bercovitch, and Donald Tuzin—explore such personal expressions of religious fervor as dreams, trances, altered states of consciousness, possession, spirit mediumship, witchcraft, sorcery, shamanism, and messianic cargo cult activity. They examine a range of societies in Melanesia, aiming to develop a way of looking at the religious imagination that will apply cross-culturally. Using the frameworks of both cultural anthropology and psychoanalysis, they ask how the religious imagination connects concepts of selfhood to ideas of the sacred. In Gilbert Herdt’s and Michele Stephen’s words, they are “dealing with a special kind of imaginative capacity—an imaginative capacity possessed by the individual, yet somehow separated from one’s conscious sense of self, while at the same time often available to it.” Religious experience emerges from the interaction between the self and culture, via the mediating processes of the imagination. Five ethnographic case studies illustrate these issues. Each is concerned with an individual’s experience of a religious realm inhabited by or concerned with spirit entities and sacred powers. The editors link the case studies theoretically to the cross-cultural foundations of the volume, looking for common themes among the variations. This book raises important new questions regarding the role of creative and psychocultural factors in the relationships among imagination, the cultural actor, and society. Gilbert Herdt is an associate professor of human development and the director of the Center for Research on Culture and Mental Health at the University of Chicago. Michele Stephen is Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University in Australia and the editor of Sorcerer and Witch in Melanesia (Rutgers University Press).
