On the Pneumatophonias Recorded in Domestic Spiritist Sessions in Times of Pandemic by Covid-19

Abstract

The record and systematization of some events that occurred in domestic spiritist sessions during the pandemic by COVID-19 in the province of Corrientes, Argentina, are presented. These records took place in contexts of mediumistic experiences where participants claim to receive certain messages from the dead. It delves into the relations between mourners and the deceased in a situation of human crisis and in the search for alternative communication with the deceased relatives to whom it has not been possible to provide care and farewell rites that traditionally effected. Given this impossibility of farewell some mourners promote the realization of spiritist sessions in private homes in order to communicate with the deceased. For this work observations, interviews and field records have been made.
