Product Information
The anti-witch -first published in 2009 under the title Désorceler -is Jeanne Favret-Saada's third and concluding monograph on witchcraft in the Bocage (West France). This first English edition (translated by anthropologist Matthew Carey) presents a synthesis of ethnographic theory and psychoanalytic revelation, wherein the line between researcher and researched is blurred if not erased. At once classic and state-of-the-art, The anti-witch develops the contours of an anthropology of therapy, while methodologically and epistemologically engaging what it means to be caught in the logic of witchcraft. Through an intimate and provocative sharing of the ethnographic voice with one Mme. Flora-a "dewitcher" and one of Favret-Saada's interlocutors for two years- The anti-witch delivers a critical challenge to common anthropologial chestnuts like 'affect' and participant observation. Of interest to practioners of psychoanalysis and anthropologists who work on themes of magic and witchcraft, trauma and therapy, religion and belief, this new edition-with a foreword by anthropologist Veena Das-is also certain to bring a whole new generation of scholars into conversation with the work of one of France's most brilliant anthropologists. 1st Edition Publication Data (French Original): 2009.

Reviews
Ioan M. Lewis suggests that anthropology is like a ritual, in which doing fieldwork results in a state of possession by something foreign and writing about it after returning home is a process of depossession. This book by Jeanne Favret-Saada shows a direct correlation between the strength of the possession and the length of the process of depossession. The anti-witch is the third book about her fieldwork on witchcraft in rural northwest France, conducted from 1969 to 1972. Deadly words (1977), her first resulting ethnography (which was followed by more diary-like ethnographic descriptions in Corps pour corps , 1981), aims - with a claim to be unique and with a healthy portion of aggression - to reinvent anthropology as well as psychoanalysis. Favret-Saada has been praised for her radical realization of the anthropological ideal to get involved in the field with the entire person, and to put aside the question of ontological truth in order to reveal the inner logic and functionality of local practices as well as how people get involved in these practices. She shows that witchcraft is something to be found not only in former times or alien lands, but also next door and these days. The advantage and necessity of fieldwork becomes especially salient in a field where everybody is cautious about speech acts, not only because words can cause harm and death, and witches can hear them over distances, but also because admitting to be involved in witchcraft exposes oneself to public ridicule. Favret-Saada provides a rich ethnographic description of the learning process on her journey, which extends deeper and deeper into the field until she is herself 'caught' (as the locals call their entanglement in witchcraft)., "Favret-Saada synthesizes the blend of theoretical and methodological considerations clearly in saying, 'My work on Bocage witchcraft gradually led me to reconsider the notion of affect and the importance of exploring it, both as a way of addressing a critical dimension of fieldwork (the state of being affected) and as a starting point for developing an anthropology of therapy (be it "primitive" and exotic or learned and Western)' (p. 97). Indeed, Chapter VI, in total, offers a final and convincing salvo of The anti-witch 's primary proposition - that methods and theory cannot be easily or effectively separated. One cannot help but think that the turn toward psychotherapy in The anti-witch is not merely a reflection of Favret-Saada's own intellectual predilections, but also an acknowledgement of the fraught relationship between anthropologists and the subjects (human and otherwise) of their fieldwork - the ways in which we must subject ourselves to a constant denaturalization of our own ideas and beliefs, of defamiliarizing the familiar, in order to understand, empathize and allow ourselves to be 'caught up' or affected by the words and worlds of our key interlocutors. In reconstituting our own identities and realities, we engage in a form of mutual creation and construction that can be both deeply unsettling and therapeutic in equal measure. It is this parallel consideration of the theoretical and methodological that makes The anti-witch both an enjoyable and an enduringly useful text.", "To appreciate this book is to recognize its context. Its appearance for French readers signaled the expectant return of a scholar who had taken different paths in the thirty-odd years since the publication of her Les Mots, la Mort, les Sorts ( Deadly Words ) (Favret-Saada 1980). The publication of Désorceler ( The Anti-Witch ) did not transform the terms by which anthropology worked, it simply brought together essays on witchcraft in the Bocage countryside from Favret-Saada's 1969-1972 fieldwork, which had appeared in various forms from 1983 to 1991, with a "Prélude" written in 2009. Still, it was exciting to return to the Bocage--and, for some of us, to return to an author who drew us to anthropology in the first place.", "Slender but thought-provoking book is more profound. . . . Favret-Saada thinks about witchcraft differently. She sees these dewitchers as practicising a kind of therapy. She sees them as giving their depressed clients a new way of thinking about their situation, with new tasks to act on and new goals to focus on. And she describes the way these new tasks help them feel differently about their force and the world." , Slender but thought-provoking book is more profound. . . . Favret-Saada thinks about witchcraft differently. She sees these dewitchers as practicising a kind of therapy. She sees them as giving their depressed clients a new way of thinking about their situation, with new tasks to act on and new goals to focus on. And she describes the way these new tasks help them feel differently about their force and the world., The tone is charming. So are the tarot cards. A chapter with historical comparisons illuminates, as do the many perceptive gender and household readings. Mischievous is the endeavor as a whole. After all, it seeks to remake anthropologies of witchcraft and popular religion almost as much as ethnographies of mental health and therapeutic process. Favret-Saada goes far toward defining a new field in The Anti-Witch : an anthropology of therapies highlighting methods required with an openness to affect. She denigrates participant observation and empathy (as distance) along with their attention to representations and ritual, while instead promoting an ethnographic practice that involves digging in, merging with, and accepting forms of unknowing.
