Being affected, Translated by Mylene Hengen and Matthew Carey
Résumé
Between 1969 and 1972, I conducted fieldwork in rural North-West France, protecting it from media curiosity by vaguely referring to it as the ―Western French Bocage [Hedgerow region].‖ I gathered two types of material from this research: a field journal in which I recounted daily events in great detail, and a typed account of some thirty dewitching seances that I had tape-recorded.
Two books were drafted from the material in my field journal: Les Mots, la mort, les sorts. La sorcellerie dans le Bocage (1977), and Corps pour corps. Enquête sur la sorcellerie dans le Bocage (1988).
