Abstract

This article focuses on subjectivity in the ethnography of religion by considering the multiplicity of subjectivity and their relationalities, drawing from the author’s ethnographic encounter with the orisha Oshun in Trinidad. This reflection on the implications of taking seriously the spectral or spirit, in their many forms and aspects, as active agents involves the expansion of subjectivity and the relational aspects of inter-subjectivity from the singular to the multiple. Written from a purposefully provocative compound subject position of “I/we”, this article asks that ethnographers of religion grapple with the offerings of ontologies outside the Western “normative” intellectual tradition. I/we offer that this shift will impact our engagements with the people and communities that we work with, expanding our capacity to share multiple worlds and our ability to engage numerous theorizations.

主体性

本文以作者在特立尼达与奥顺的民族志遭遇为切入点，从主体性的多重性及其相互关系的角度，对宗教民族志中的主体性进行了研究。这种对认真对待光谱或精神的含义的反思，在其许多形式和方面，作为主动主体，涉及主体性的扩展和主体间的关系方面，从单一到多重。这篇文章是从“我/我们”这一有目的的挑衅性的复合主题立场出发写的，它要求宗教的民族志学家努力解决西方“规范”知识传统之外的本体论问题。我/我们表示，这一转变将影响我们与合作人员和社区的互动，扩大我们共享多个世界的能力和参与众多理论的能力。

期刊介绍： Fieldwork in Religion (FIR) is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal seeking engagement between scholars carrying out empirical research in religion. It will consider articles from established scholars and research students. The purpose of Fieldwork in Religion is to promote critical investigation into all aspects of the empirical study of contemporary religion. The journal is interdisciplinary in that it is not limited to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. Fieldwork in Religion seeks to promote empirical study of religion in all disciplines: religious studies, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psychology, folklore, or cultural studies. A further important aim of Fieldwork in Religion is to encourage the discussion of methodology in fieldwork either through discrete articles on issues of methodology or by publishing fieldwork case studies that include methodological challenges and the impact of methodology on the results of empirical research.
