Description

"In The Cure, Lozano writes about encounters and experiences that mediate the boundary between life and death, in order to think about healing as a way of deflating the conflicting relationships between nature and culture, the visible and the invisible, and the material and the sentient. Suspicious of the notion of myth, The Cure is an attempt to vindicate the power of negotiation to dispel such divisions. The structure of the séance, Mexican shamanism, Haitian Vodou, Irish criminal gangs and natural history museums are all implicated into Lozano's text, developed during her extensive travels and investigations in recent years." -- Back cover.
