Registration for in-person attendance only.For online participation, please register on Zoom: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkfuGtqDgvGNRBa1AHDeXF-kogKYy6wgGFThis workshop invites participants to unpack the ideas of movement, mobility, and being moved in healing practices. ‘Movement’ in the religious field can be intended as moving into or through religions or practices – whether developing or not commitment — or as converting one’s health condition. It can also be approached in terms of a transnational movement of people and practices, shaping new geographies of spiritual healing. At a phenomenological level, movement can be therapeutic and transformative, by putting processes and bodies into motion, such as being moved by spirits in trance. Whether transnational, transcendent, or transformative, we ask how movement shapes healing and vice-versa.The Workshop is organized by the project Marie Skłodowska-Curie THETRANCE, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, University of Oxford, and the HEAL Network for the Ethnography of Healing. Funded by the European Union Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellowship "THETRANCE-Transnational Healing: Therapeutic Trajectories in Spiritual Trance".
