RESUMEN
RESUMEN Este artículo trata sobre la presencia y el rol clave de seres no humanos dotados de intención en el diagnóstico y la cura. Desde la corriente de estudios dedicados al pluralismo y los itinerarios de cura, se analiza la persistencia de la categoría del fantasma -entidad no humana dotada de intencionalidad- en los recorridos de curación, a la par de la biomedicina y sus categorías diagnósticas. Los datos que constituyen la base de este artículo fueron recogidos en el curso de numerosas estadías de campo etnográficas llevadas a cabo entre 2005 y 2015 en una red de pueblos situados en la región del Garhwal, en el distrito de Uttarkashi, que ocupa el área noroccidental de Uttarkhand, India. A partir de estos datos se intenta reflexionar sobre las razones por las cuales los pacientes, en determinados contextos, en el proceso de diagnóstico y curación, se dirigen a diferentes especialistas, incluso de forma simultánea.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This article looks at the presence and key role of nonhuman beings endowed with intention in the diagnosis and cure of illness. Based on the framework of studies of pluralism and itineraries of healing, the article reflects on the persistence of the category of the phantom - a nonhuman entity endowed with intentionality - in such paths of curation, alongside biomedicine and its diagnostic categories. The data upon which this article is based were collected over the course of numerous ethnographic field visits carried out between 2005 and 2015 in a network of villages located in the Garhwal region of the Uttarkashi district, in the area northwest of Uttarkhand, India. Using these data, the article attempts to reflect on the reasons why patients, in certain contexts throughout the diagnosis and healing process, seek out different specialists, often at the same time.
