So what its a fucking regional journal.” “Omg you got a publication in Sorcery?!”) and these are the special editions that get published once a year. “It’s a quarterly, and my favorite issue is ‘Witches Destroy Black Magic’— I’m so into Identity Sorcery.”“Did you see the latest article on Transdimensional Alchemy? I have such a research boner for that Warlock. His metatextual approach is just amazing.“ "I’m in full support of Transdimensional Alchemy as an abstract concept, but in practice I think it is problematic in its preference of gold to any and all other precious metals, especially when there are others that are FAR more useful in overall metaphysical to physical transition." "You post-Merlin metaphysicists are all the same, always lumping all Alchemy in with the gold standard tradition and ignoring the last 3 decades of work in renewable metals and the Green Transformation movement." "Except for that fact that Green Transformation is still a teleological view of magic; recognizing the fracturing of mystoriographies is essential to more fully understanding not where we are going, but how we are going. It is not only in the magic, but in the casting." #mmmkkk i’m ready to write some syllabi if you aretalk reading lists to me. Does the Merlin School really retain any relevance or has the growth of Technomagics and the decrease in the MagiDigital divide mostly rendered them useless? Can Magical Theory ever be “objective?”What are the gender implications of the latest research in Physical Transformation? Well let’s start with the basics: Splendor Trouble: Physical Transformation is PerformativeCultural Theory and Popular Curses: What a Curse Says about its Sociohistorical ContextQueer Mystoriographies: Were the Witches Really Lesbians? vol. 9, 1660-1880The Malevalent Gaze: Visual Displeasure and the Narrative Criminal Singuistics: A Rhetorical Analysis of Villainous Monologuing And how aboutThe Cross We Bear: The Spanish Inquisition and the Great Northern Underground Railroad Queer Mystoriographies: Modernism, Music and the Stonewall Riots. vol.12, 1920-1970He/She/They said: Gendered Language in Hex CastingThe Influence of Colonialism on the Evolution of Spellcasting Etymology. Mytholinguistics, vol 5. Course Description:In recent centuries, postdivinism has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that highlights the interconnection of issues of sorcery, gender, malevolence, genealogy, and kingdom with magical production. Postdivinist theorists offer ways to situate spells, hexes, and curses in their diverse historical and enchanting contexts. In this course we will interweave a study of magical productions and castings with that of the theory and genealogy as we focus on works by mage, magus, enchantress, sage, witch, warlock, sorcerer, and wizard alike. Learning Objectives:Students will gain a general understanding of the field of postdivinism studiesStudents will become familiar with eighteenth century Hexophonic literature by reading the works of witches, wizards, etc in territories where “divine magic” is prioritized over other formsStudents will understand specific magic sigils as a symbol of kingdom as an oppressive force -- source link
