BINDI Serena

Senior lecturer at Paris Descartes University

Contact : bindiserena [at] hotmail.com

Doctor in social anthropology and ethnology (EHESS, 2009 ; University of Siena 2009)

Researcher, associated member of the Centre for Himalayan Studies - UPR 299

Driven by an interest in religion as a therapeutic resource and in places of interaction between different types of knowledge and therapeutic practices, Serena Bindi carries out research in the fields of the anthropology of health and the anthropology of the religious. Her main field of investigation is the state of Uttarakhand in North India.

After researching care and divination practices with a focus on possession in the Baghirati River valley in Garhwal, she embarked on a study of divinatory practices in the city of Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. Her research sets out to analyse the way certain events that are interpreted and thus "produced" through the ritual and divination, contribute to shaping social reality.
