Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. First Edition. Since the emergence of religious studies and the social sciences as academic disciplines, the idea of "magic" has played a major role in defining religion and in mediating the relation of religion to science. Across these disciplines, magic has regularly been configured as a definitively non-modern phenomenon, juxtaposed to the distinctly modern models of religion and science. As a category, however, magic has remained stubbornly amorphous. In Making Magic, Randall Styers seeks to account for the extraordinary vitality of scholarly discourse purporting to define and explain magic despite its failure to do just that. He argues that it can best be explained in light of the European and Euro-American drive to establish and secure their own identity as normative: rational-scientific, judicial-ethical, industrious, productive, and heterosexual. Magic has served to designate a form of alterity or deviance against which dominant Western notions of appropriate religious piety, legitimate scientific rationality, and orderly social relations are brought into relief.

This collection of essays considers the place of magic in the modern world, first by exploring the ways in which modernity has been defined in explicit opposition to magic and superstition, and then by illuminating how modern proponents of magic have worked to legitimize their practices through an overt embrace of evolving forms such as esotericism and supernaturalism. Taking a two-track approach, this book explores the complex dynamics of the construction of the modern self and its relation to the modern preoccupation with magic. Essays examine how modern "rational" consciousness is generated and maintained and how proponents of both magical and scientific traditions rationalize evidence to fit accepted orthodoxy. This book also describes how people unsatisfied with the norms of modern subjectivity embrace various forms of magic?and the methods these modern practitioners use to legitimate magic in the modern world. A compelling assessment of magic from the early modern period to today, Magic in the Modern World shows how, despite the dominant culture's emphatic denial of their validity, older forms of magic persist and develop while new forms of magic continue to emerge. In addition to the editors, contributors include Egil Asprem, Erik Davis, Megan Goodwin, Dan Harms, Adam Jortner, and Benedek Láng.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Bueno. : En 'Making Magic', Randall Styers explora la vitalidad del discurso académico que intenta definir y explicar la magia, a pesar de su fracaso en lograrlo. Argumenta que esta persistencia se explica mejor a la luz del impulso occidental por establecer y asegurar su propia identidad como normativa. El libro examina cómo la magia ha servido para designar una forma de alteridad o desviación contra la cual las nociones occidentales dominantes de piedad religiosa apropiada, racionalidad científica legítima y relaciones sociales ordenadas se ponen de relieve. Los académicos han encontrado en la magia una herramienta invaluable en sus esfuerzos por definir los límites apropiados de la religión y la ciencia. En un nivel más amplio, el pensamiento mágico ha servido como un importante contraste para la modernidad misma.
