title = "The {"}Commendation of Souls{"}: Body and the Senses",
abstract = "This chapter reflects on people{\textquoteright}s relationship with the Souls, be it through the ritual itself or in daily life. The Souls exert a force among the living, by defying conceptions of bodily restrained {\textquoteleft}selves{\textquoteright} and disrupting linear perceptions of time and social existence. It is argued here that the ritual{\textquoteright}s sonic resonances, vocal modulations, body techniques, speech acts and aesthetic formation activate sensorial ambivalences and paradoxes through which religion is perceived.",
