Spiriti e riti ebraici a Meknes. Seduti alla “tavola di David”
Archivio Antropologico Mediterraneo January 30, 2025 Silvia Bruni
Spirit possession of Muslim Arabs by Jewish spirits in Meknes, Morocco, is a largely unstudied phenomenon because Jewish spirits represent an absolute otherness in the Moroccan pantheon and their rites are private, domestic, and reserved, unlike the public collective rituals typically examined. This case study of an evocation rite analyzes how such possession refashions personal identity, human relationships, and gender roles, highlighting the link between ritual and daily life.
