EAJS-JAWS-AJJ Liaison Officerarticle_person I am an Italian socio-cultural anthropologist with a main interest in religion and spirituality. My main field is contemporary Japan, but I have carried out ethnographic research also in Italy and Austria. My research has focused on experiences with spirits and social suffering, especially in relation to the perception of space and place (particularly places related to death and the afterlife), rumors and discrimination, construction of social memory and “tradition”, tourism and commodification, spirit possession, exorcism and religious/spiritual healing. From a theoretical perspective, I focus on the anthropology of the body, bodily perceptions, affect and emotions, as well as construction of identity and digital anthropology.
