Abstract

This article focuses on three different patterns of spirit possession in Mali, a country where spirits interact with human beings. Some Malian cases – but not all of them – comfort the well-received theory asserting that possession is a form of protest and is related to a historical crisis. African possession cults are generally considered as characteristics of marginal groups in response to the domination of a monotheist religion, especially Islam and Christianity, but several cults from the Minianka area contradict this ideal type. At a national level, some cults look for a compromise with the spirits, while others are aimed to get rid of them.

伊斯兰教边缘的附身和驱魔:马里

这篇文章聚焦于马里的三种不同的精神占有模式，马里是一个精神与人互动的国家。马里的一些案件——但不是所有案件——证实了一种广受欢迎的理论，即占有是一种抗议形式，与历史危机有关。非洲占有邪教通常被认为是边缘群体的特征，以回应一神教的统治，尤其是伊斯兰教和基督教，但米南卡地区的一些邪教与这种理想类型相矛盾。在国家层面上，一些邪教寻求与精神的妥协，而另一些则旨在摆脱它们。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
