I want you to write an essay of about McIntosh, in light of the general theory found in the work of I.M. Lewis. What I want is an essay that contains 1) a brief presentation of the central elements of Lewis’ proposal for an explanation of “spirit possession” as a phenomenon 2) a brief presentation of the case-study McIntosh, followed by 3) a confrontation of Lewis’ ideas with McIntosh. In which way can Lewis help us understand, or rather explain, the specific form of spirit possession presented in the case study? Or does the case study yields evidence that force us to adopt, or even abandon, Lewis’ theory? The confrontation between Lewis and his critics will focus less on a specific case and more on the “phenomenon” itself and the ways in which it must be interpreted. You must show that you are capable of juxtaposing Lewis’ theory with work done by McIntosh, and that you can make an inventory of possibilities and limitations and, explain how they can be used or resolved.
