Description

This Routledge academic study examines how modern mediums and spiritualist practices continue to thrive in contemporary Western society despite technological and medical advancement. The book challenges the perception of talking to the dead as taboo by analysing current mediumship practices and the role of mediums who claim to communicate between life and death. Drawing on first-hand material gathered from alternative fairs and medium encounters, the author explores how spiritualism and communication with the other side are understood and received within modern culture. The work combines anthropological and sociological perspectives to investigate the persistent appeal of spiritualism in an increasingly secular world, examining the concepts, controversies, and social significance of contemporary death communication practices.
