題名: | The Spirits are Crying: Dispossessing land and possessing bodies in rural Cambodia | 作者: | 吳考甯 Work, Courtney Beban, Alice |

The spirit, along with efforts of a monk and NGO, ultimately persuaded state officials to return 5 ha of land to the local temple. In this paper, we bring together literature on the anthropology of religion, political economy of land possession, and critical development studies; we demonstrate that land spirits continue as members of political patronage chains at both the state and the local level, and show how the non-capitalist logics of spirit negotiations both challenged and legitimized large-scale land acquisition projects. The spirit was not subsumed by, but rather shaped, contemporary capitalist expansion in ways that call for a critical examination of the ontological certainty that all land is designed for human production and consumption. | 關聯: | Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography, Vol.46, pp.593-610 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1111/anti.12073 |
