EMIC: Studying a culture from their point of view.
ETIC: Applying theories to cultural phenomena that might not make sense to the members of that culture.
The “NATIVE ANTHROPOLOGIST” or “GOING NATIVE”: Can illuminate the false fixity of the emic/etic dichotomy, but at the possibility of professional, academic, and social costs, if—for example—the anthropologist engages in trance and channeling rituals, and writes about it.

RESIDUAL HAUNTING: Like a video playback of an event from the past with no interaction with the human observer.

SPIRIT MANIFESTATION: Full or partial bodied apparition, mists, orbs and light anomalies, odors, voices, knocks, whistles, footsteps, touches, cold spots. These are generally attributed to deceased humans who are caught in this realm, or who return to visit.
POLTERGIESTS: Playful and at times harmful entities that cause objects to move or float, hide items, make noises, etc.
DEMONS: They rarely interact with humans, but when they do, can cause great damage.

Power is rooted in economic relations.

Capitalists coerce workers through top down, visible and identifiable tactics.

Economic and political power can be the consequence of power in other social realms.

Economic and political power can be the consequence of power in other social realms.
For example: bureaucrats wield power even though they are not wealthy.
Bureaucracy is a primary force in the rationalization of society.
Power is valued for its own sake.
Or the “charismatic leader” is often concerned with power over wealth.

Productive power “circulates in the social field and can attache to strategies of domination as well as…resistance.” This occurs because bodies and minds are disciplined, normalized, and placed under surveillance to participate.

Productive power is perpetuated through discourses that construct what comes to be regarded as “truths.”
DISCOURSES ARE: “…ways of constituting knowledge, together with the social practices, forms of subjectivity and power relations… Discourses are more than ways of thinking and producing meaning. They constitute the 'nature' of the body, unconscious and conscious mind and emotional life of the subjects they seek to govern.”
IDEOLOGIES: Systems of abstract ideas that foster social compliance with hegemonic norms.
Foucault asserts that discourses are interstitial with ideologies.
A way to think of the relationship between the two is that discourses are processes that produce and reinforce ideologies as reifying abstractions.

This form of power is “productive” because it is a network that circulates amongst us and that we are disciplined to participate in.

As people feel a loss of control over their lives, and find it hard to identify who or what is responsible for that loss, are they turning to the paranormal for answers?
