for a definition of the concept of possession:

In a strict sense, ideological drama established in the field of conscience by the conflict of one or more entities that claim, all at once, control over the same countenance. In a dilated form, a crossroaded category: a spiritual path of beings butchered by the historical and political blades of the territories, bodies, and symbols (demonology of weights, wills and the owned). In a direct puncture: misalliance and fractured conciliation between images, things, and inclinations. In essence: the exorcism of the eyes against the sweat of the hands and the drool of the assholes.

Possession

1. Act or effect of possessing or being possessed / act or effect of owning (something) for oneself, of having (anything) e being able to take advantage, pleasure, ownership.

2. Act or effect of owning or taking control over something; possession of conquered land.

3. Something that is owned, occupies, or controls what is possessed. 3.1. Region, territory, country under colonial domination of a state; colony, dominium.

4. Condition or state in which someone is dominated by something (such as a passion, a project, an obsession).

5. Assumption (ascension of a hierarchical position or honorary superior) of, or manifestation (of a spiritual being) on the body and/or spirit of a person. 5.1. Condition or state of one that feels inhabited or manhandled by a supernatural entity.


USAGE: the employment of the word possession in the sense of "land under colonial domination" was modernly supplanted by other denominations connected to new kinds of political-economic relations between dominant States and areas under its authority or protection.


ETIM (Latin): possessio, onis. (Possession, ownership, fruition, property)

For a brief history of art:

First, at the plain of gesture, the order of the fist: the realm of the hand, labor, and pain. Later, at the abyss of the plane, the distant order of the eye: the realm of image, calculation, and echo. Last, at the empire of leather and nets, the order of the saliva, breath, and code: the realm of the mouth, contracts and digits.
