Meyer, Birgit, Pels, Peter

SUMMARY

"This volume offers an innovative and intriguing collection of essays. Each chapter is grounded in detailed anthropological and historical research and offers stimulating theoretical considerations. The breadth of scholarshipaddressing both the general implications of 'magic' and its place in the making of 'modernity,' as demonstrated in a range of ethnographic contextssuggest a broad readership." Brad Weiss,The College of William & Mary "These essays demonstrate that even our most objective categories of social and cultural understanding are entangled in the constitutive undergrowth of our present circumstances. In their diverse and intriguing ways, they are all concerned with the modernist configuration of magic, as magic, so taken, configures modernism. Despite our liberal claims to transparency, reason, and secularism, they lay bare a world shaded by opacity, unreason, and blinkered faith." Vincent Crapanzano,City University of New YorkMeyer, Birgit is the author of 'Magic and Modernity Interfaces of Revelation and Concealment' with ISBN 9780804744645 and ISBN 0804744645.
