Abstract

This volume offers new approaches to some of the biggest persistent challenges in the study of esotericism and beyond. Commonly understood as a particularly "Western" undertaking consisting of religious, philosophical, and ritual traditions that go back to Mediterranean antiquity, this book argues for a global approach that significantly expands the scope of esotericism and highlights its relevance for broader theoretical and methodological debates in the humanities and social sciences. The contributors offer critical interventions on aspects related to colonialism, race, gender and sexuality, economy, and marginality. Equipped with a substantial introduction and conclusion, the book offers textbook-style discussions of the state of research and makes concrete proposals for how esotericism can be rethought through broader engagement with neighboring fields.

Abstract

August Strindberg (1849–1912) kept a diary from February 1896 in Paris until the summer of 1908 in Stockholm. He referred to his diary from this period as his Occult Diary and used it to help him decipher the world as he experienced it. He read and reread his own notations, adding new interpretations, and deleting others. He also drew on the diary as material for creative expression, transforming isolated events and observations into groundbreaking works of literature.The Occult Diary is published here in its entirety in English translation for the first time, in a final revision by Ann-Charlotte Gavel Adams and with an introduction by Per Stam. The Occult Diary is a key resource for international Strindberg scholars and theater professionals and more broadly for scholars focusing on drama, theater history, stage performance, and literary currents at the turn of the previous century. The diary initiates the reader into the writer’s inner world during a crucial transitional period in his personal and literary life. It documents his readings and observations and gives important clues and information about an ongoing process of artistic reorientation. Strindberg was exploring new ways of looking at, interpreting, and writing about nature, science, art, the occult, and his fellow human beings.

Abstract

Met de mediagenieke opkomst van de andersglobaliseringsbeweging zijn we getuige van een mondiale heropleving van een veelzijdige beweging, die slechts het zichtbare topje vormt van een diffuus onbehagen tegenover de uitverkoop van de wereld. Deze bundel wil een bijdrage leveren aan de opbouw van een kritische en pluralistische maatschappijtheorie die een diagnose stelt van de kwalen van deze 'postmoderne' tijd en onze ogen opent voor de diverse strijdvormen waarmee de wereld kan veranderd worden. Zowel de klip van het centralisme als die van de versnippering moeten omzeild worden. Radicale democratie staat centraal: dat betekent de democratisering van alle aspecten van het leven zodat ongelijke machtsverhoudingen op het vlak van gender, seksualiteit, klasse, cultuur, ecologie, economie etc. bestreden kunnen worden. Esperanza! wil de kloof tussen de theorie en de praktijk helpen dichten en kan als vormingshandboek worden gebruikt door diverse sociale bewegingen. De volgende thema's komen aan bod: dialectiek (Jan Dumolyn), educatie (Roger Jacobs), media (Jan-Pieter Everaerts & David Dessers), godsdienst (Remy Verwimp), feminisme (FAM), seksuele identiteiten (Gunther Lippens), ecologie (Peter Tom Jones), armoede en handel (Francine Mestrum), kunst (Didi De Paris), democratie (Jenny Walry), inheemse volkeren (Bambi Ceuppens), migratie (Hilmi Kaçar), nationalisme (Veronique Lambert), klassenstrijd (Jan Dumolyn, André Mommen & Peter Tom Jones), geweldloosheid (Hans Lammerant), directe actie (David Heller) en tegenmacht (Johny Lenaerts).

Abstract

Suffering and Sentiment examines the cultural and personal experiences of chronic and acute pain sufferers in a richly described account of everyday beliefs, values, and practices on the island of Yap (Waqab), Federated States of Micronesia. C. Jason Throop provides a vivid sense of Yapese life as he explores the local systems of knowledge, morality, and practice that pertain to experiencing and expressing pain. In so doing, Throop investigates the ways in which sensory experiences like pain can be given meaningful coherence in the context of an individual's culturally constituted existence. In addition to examining the extent to which local understandings of pain's characteristics are personalized by individual sufferers, the book sheds important new light on how pain is implicated in the fashioning of particular Yapese understandings of ethical subjectivity and right action.

Facing the Challenge of Democracy

Abstract

Citizens are political simpletons--that is only a modest exaggeration of a common characterization of voters. Certainly, there is no shortage of evidence of citizens' limited political knowledge, even about matters of the highest importance, along with inconsistencies in their thinking, some glaring by any standard. But this picture of citizens all too often approaches caricature. Paul Sniderman and Benjamin Highton bring together leading political scientists who offer new insights into the political thinking of the public, the causes of party polarization, the motivations for political participation, and the paradoxical relationship between turnout and democratic representation. These studies propel a foundational argument about democracy. Voters can only do as well as the alternatives on offer. These alternatives are constrained by third players, in particular activists, interest groups, and financial contributors. The result: voters often appear to be shortsighted, extreme, and inconsistent because the alternatives they must choose between are shortsighted, extreme, and inconsistent. Facing the Challenge of Democracy features contributions by John Aldrich, Stephen Ansolabehere, Edward Carmines, Jack Citrin, Susanna Dilliplane, Christopher Ellis, Michael Ensley, Melanie Freeze, Donald Green, Eitan Hersh, Simon Jackman, Gary Jacobson, Matthew Knee, Jonathan Krasno, Arthur Lupia, David Magleby, Eric McGhee, Diana Mutz, Candice Nelson, Benjamin Page, Kathryn Pearson, Eric Schickler, John Sides, James Stimson, Lynn Vavreck, Michael Wagner, Mark Westlye, and Tao Xie.
