Join us for a fascinating exploration of spiritism and spirit photographs. U-M Professor Deirdre de la Cruz speaks about her research regarding early twentieth-century spirit photographs in the Philippines and elsewhere, and her use of Clark Library resources.
Dr. de la Cruz will explore the tension between Spiritism as a philosophy and practice that traveled via historically specific colonial routes and were localized to particular political and cultural contexts, and Spiritism as a global occult movement founded precisely on the promise of transcending metaphysical and spatial boundaries. For her study, Professor de la Cruz used the resources of the Clark Library and will detail their role in her research and teaching.
