| 摘要 | This article examines the process of building kinship relations between Thai spirit devotees and violent spirits. I examine three spirit shrines on the outskirts of Bangkok: a shrine to the ghost of a woman killed in childbirth, a shrine to a cobra spirit that causes accidents along a busy highway, and a household shrine to an aborted fetus. The devotees to whom I spoke actively sought out such places known for death in order to 'adopt' or 'become adopted by' the spirits in those locations—an action that, I argue, allowed for a renegotiation of the devotees' position vis-à-vis accident and trauma. I suggest that becoming a spirit's 'child' forms a mutually dependent relationship that allows for the domestication of forces outside of oneself. |
