Abstract: | A white Rhodesian living in South Africa tells an ethnographer the story of his experiences as a charismatic Christian and a veteran of warfare involving terrorism. Like a testimony, the story is designed to produce an effect on its hearer. With an ethnopsychiatric approach, such a story must be understood dialogically, as an exchange in which a game of "who has the emotion" is played. |
