Il volume si configura come commento all'ipertrofico romanzo di Don DeLillo Underworld(1997). A partire dall'analisi del testo - che intreccia storie, ambienti e punti di vista diversi -, Nicola Turi ripercorre però l'intera produzione narrativa dell'autore per seguire al suo interno l'evoluzione di temi (paranoia, minaccia nucleare, alienazione, violenza ...) e strategie testuali. E contemporaneamente riflette su alcune tendenze diffuse nel romanzo contemporaneo che Underworld, affresco narrativo degli Stati Uniti del secondo Novecento, incarna o anticipa: la ripresa del romanzo collettivo; la costruzione di personaggi pescati dalla realtà; la continua interazione tra rappresentazione verbale e immagine, sia statica che in movimento.

"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"--

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.
