Abstract

"Islamicate Occult Sciences in Theory and Practice brings together the latest research on Islamic occultism from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, namely intellectual history, manuscript studies and material culture. Its aim is not only to showcase the range of pioneering work that is currently being done in these areas, but also to provide a model for closer interaction amongst the disciplines constituting this burgeoning field of study. Furthermore, the book provides the rare opportunity to bridge the gap on an institutional level by bringing the academic and curatorial spheres into dialogue. Contributors include: Charles Burnett, Jean-Charles Coulon, Maryam Ekhtiar, Noah Gardiner, Christiane Gruber, Bink Hallum, Francesca Leoni, Matthew Melvin-Koushki, Michael Noble, Rachel Parikh, Liana Saif, Maria Subtelny, Farouk Yahya, and Travis Zadeh"--

Abstract

This book seeks a reconsideration of the phenomenon of sorcery and related categories. The contributors to the volume explore the different perspectives on human sociality and social and political constitution that practices typically understood as sorcery, magic and ritual reveal. In doing so the authors are concerned to break away from the dictates of a western externalist rationalist understanding of these phenomena without falling into the trap of mysticism. The articles address a diversity of ethnographic contexts in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas.

Abstract

"Okkultismus im Gehäuse" untersucht die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem Paranormalen und ihre Institutionen im 20. Jahrhundert. Wo waren die Orte einer parapsychologischen Wissensproduktion? Welche Formen, Grenzen und Möglichkeiten der Institutionalisierung gab es? Ausgehend von einem breiten Verständnis von Institutionalisierung werden universitäre und außeruniversitäre Einrichtungen sowie erfolgreiche wie gescheiterte Versuche von Akademisierung untersucht. Weiterhin kommen organisierte Gegenbewegungen, praktische Anwendungsfelder, populärkulturelle Verwertungen sowie persönliche Erfahrungen in den Blick. Dargestellt werden die Entwicklungen anhand von Fallbespielen aus Deutschland (BRD und DDR), Frankreich, Großbritannien, Russland, Ungarn sowie den Niederlanden und den USA. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass die Frage um Ort und "Gehäuse" der Parapsychologie permanenten Aushandlungen unterworfen war. Die Geschichte des Fachs beleuchtet so beispielhaft die Entwicklung nicht-hegemonialer Wissensbestände sowie grundsätzliche Prozesse von Disziplinbildung und Institutionalisierung.

Abstract

Bronze Medalist, 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the US Northeast -Best Regional Non-Fiction CategoryHonorable Mention, 2015 Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards in the Religion CategoryFrom 1776 to 1914, an amazing collection of prophets, mediums, sects, cults, utopian communities, and spiritual leaders arose in Upstate New York. Along with the best known of these, such as the Shakers, Mormons, and Spiritualists, this book explores more than forty other spiritual leaders or groups, some of them virtually unknown, but all of them fascinating. The author uncovers common threads that characterize these homegrown spiritualities, including roots in Western esoteric traditions, liberation from the psychological pressures of dogmatic Christianity, a preoccupation with sex, and involvement in the radical reform movements of the day. In addition to maps and photographs of surviving buildings and monuments, the book also features a gazetteer of sites listing 150 locations connected to these groups, which may be used as a helpful travel guide to the region.
