Abstract
This lecture will explore some investigations into poltergeist phenomena, carried out during the 1920s within a scientific association based in London, the Society for Psychical Research. Focusing on two cases involving a young female investigator, Eve Brackenbury, and her dubiously famous male rival Harry Price, I will try and propose some ethnographic pathways into this archivistic material, wondering how they may sustain an anthropological approach to the invisible. What kind of being is a poltergeist, and how ingrained is it really in the social context from which it manifestly emerges?
Grégory Delaplace – Professor at École Pratique des Hautes Études, member of the l’Institut Universitaire de France https://www.gsrl-cnrs.fr/delaplace-gregory/Research Interests: Social Anthropology, Inner Asia and Mongolian Studies, Anthropology of the Invisible.
