这个系列代表了对巫术、精神世界和发展共存的空间的重大干预--这是一个经常被发展实践边缘化的领域。通过一套不同的学术和方法取向，这些贡献借鉴了对比案例研究（跨越地方，国家和边境地区），通过各种形式的灵性探索当前和未来可能的共同发展成果。他们这样做时注意到了这些交叉点的矛盾、细微差别和复杂性。本导言探讨了一些从这些复杂性中产生的交叉主题，包括：规模;欧洲主导的发展概念化的局限性;多神教，多神论和非神论精神本体论的其他方面;灵性，政治和权力的纠缠;以及新形式发展的共同产物。我们认为，通过这些不同的交叉主题的思考提供了多种可能性的非殖民化的发展项目。
Abstract This collection represents a significant intervention in the space cohabited by witchcraft, spirit worlds, and development – a realm frequently marginalised by development practice. Through a diverse set of scholarly and methodological orientations, the contributions draw on contrasting case studies (spanning the local, national, and borderlands) to explore the current and possible future co-productions of development through various forms of spirituality. They do so with attention to the paradoxes, nuances, and complexities of these intersections. This introduction explores some of the cross-cutting themes arising from these complexities, including: scale; limitations of Euro-dominant conceptualisations of development; Othering of polytheistic, multi-theistic, and non-theistic spiritual ontologies; entanglements of spirituality, politics, and power; and co-productions of new forms of development. We argue that thinking through these various cross-cutting themes provides a multitude of possibilities for decolonising the development project.
