Abstract

Karo Batak ceremonial curing practices in urban Indonesia take place in a disputed zone of acts and meanings, in which neither social nor cultural coherence can be presumed by the analyst. Examining the therapeutic efforts of an urban Karo spirit possession cult aimed at curing the soul loss suffered by a young man, the Christian son of one of the cult's premier spirit mediums, this paper questions the relevance of the 'integrative model' in such cases, and suggests an alternative approach, looking at the sets of social, cultural and interpersonal tensions that run through the cult's practices and which, at the same time, those practices seek to contain.

摘要

印度尼西亚城市中卡罗巴塔克人的仪式治疗实践发生在一个行为与意义存在争议的区域，在这个区域，分析者无法假定存在社会或文化的连贯性。本文通过考察一个城市卡罗附身邪教组织为治愈一名年轻人灵魂失落所做的治疗努力展开研究，该年轻人是该邪教组织首要灵媒之一的基督教徒儿子。本文质疑了此类情况下“整合模型”的相关性，并提出了一种替代方法，着眼于贯穿该邪教组织实践的一系列社会、文化和人际紧张关系，而这些实践同时也试图控制这些紧张关系。
