Abstract The well‐worn critique of “belief” as inadequate for understanding ritual motivation and practice has become a truism in need of reevaluation. For groups who foreground the establishment of truth in ritual practice, “belief” is a useful analytic term that brings together propositions and commitment to the relationships and systems articulating those propositions. Spiritualism is a religious movement in which mediums attempt to communicate between the spirits of deceased people and their loved ones. As Spiritualist mediums see it, their main job is to provide “proof of survival”—evidence that they are really in touch with the spirit world. In doing so, they “serve Spirit,” working on behalf of those in the spirit world. Drawing on Bakhtin's treatment of dialogism and architectonics, I urge a rethinking of “belief” as a never‐completed project worked on intersubjectively. This approach to belief not only makes sense for analysis of groups who insist on the importance of truth claims but also liberates the term for use outside of Christian and self‐consciously modern contexts, as Bakhtinian dialogism is grounded in a model of the utterance and interactivity in general and not in any specific utterance or pattern of interaction. Resumen La desgastada crítica de la “creencia” como inadecuada para entender la motivación y la práctica ritual se ha convertido en una obviedad necesaria de ser reevaluada. Para los grupos que ponen de relieve el establecimiento de la verdad en la práctica ritual, la “creencia” es un térmico analítico útil que articula proposiciones y compromiso con las relaciones y sistemas que articulan esas proposiciones. El espiritismo es un movimiento religioso en el cual los médiums intentan comunicar los espíritus de las personas fallecidas y sus seres queridos. Como los médiums espiritistas lo ven, su trabajo principal es dar una “prueba de supervivencia” –evidencia de que ellos están realmente en contacto con el mundo espiritual‐. Al hacerlo, ellos “sirven al espíritu,” trabajando en nombre de aquellos en el mundo espiritual.

Esta aproximación a la creencia no sólo tiene sentido para los análisis de grupos que insisten en la importancia de afirmaciones de la verdad, sino también libera el término para su uso por fuera de contextos cristianos y autoconscientemente modernos, en la medida que el dialogismo Bakhtiniano está sustentado en un modelo de expresión e interactividad en general, y no en una expresión o patrón de interacción específica.
