Siglo Espírita — the Spiritist Century — is a Spanish-language Kardecist review, and it wears its doctrine on its masthead and repeats it inside: there is but one spiritism. What makes the identification certain is a single word that recurs through its pages in half a dozen spellings, the perispirit, Allan Kardec's term for the semi-material envelope that clothes the soul between lives and belongs to no other teaching. Kardec is named, and so is the disembodied state, in the movement's own vocabulary. Its register is that of the Latin spiritist press at its most earnest — spiritism as the light we hide and deny, as the collective labour of the spirit unfolding, as the progressive action of the thought of the First Cause in the universe — and its working subjects are mediumship and materialization, extended by the period's habit of imagining the exteriorization of spirit as a kind of vibratory radio-wave. Reincarnation supplies the ethical structure. It belongs squarely to the Iberian and Latin American spiritist press.
