These supern atural presences are not merely vestigial beliefs but active forces that me diate contemporary social and political life—particularly for those navigat ing precarity, marginalization, and structural violence. This double panel examines how engagements with the supernatural operate as sites of meaning- making, critique, and world-building amid crisis, transformation, and uncer tainty.\nWe bring together scholarship exploring the intersections of spiri tual ontologies with capitalist modernities, state power, and social margin ality. Papers address how appeals to otherworldly capacities — through ritu als, objects, myths, and spectral encounters — enable individuals and commu nities to negotiate precarious life worlds, articulate alternative forms of belonging, and reimagine relations between self, community, and more-than- human worlds. We consider how these practices simultaneously respond to and contest dominant formations of modernity, morality, and progress.\nThe pan el critically engages with both the theoretical vocabularies and power rela tions that shape how we understand these phenomena. Those who engage with s pirits, magic, and enchanted objects are often relegated to social peripher ies by dominant frameworks of modernity and progress. Yet these very practi ces may constitute forms of political agency, social critique, and alternat ive world-making.
