Summary |
'American Possessions' examines contemporary American religious culture through the themes of a 'consuming convert's republic', 'the haunted present', and 'the therapeutic'. The work argues that US religious culture in the twenty-first century can be characterised as immersed in and constitutive of an era of possessions - of both consumer goods and spirit entities such as ghosts and demons - and that these 'possessions' are thoroughly saturated with the reverberations of therapeutic discourse. |
