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 this persistence can best be explained in light of the Western drive to establish and secure distinctive norms for modern identity, norms based on narrow forms of instrumental rationality, industrious labor, rigidly defined sexual roles, and the containment of wayward forms of desire.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.

Zustand: 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.
