Abstract

Magic, Science and Society investigates the way the ‘rationality debate’ has developed over the last century, from E.E. Evans-Pritchard’s study of Azande magic, through Peter Winch’s argument that there can be no such thing as a social science, across the arguments about the proper status of science in the 1970s and 1980s, to the ‘epistemological’ and ‘ontological’ turns of the early twenty-first century.Different people have different understandings of what is rational: some practise magic, some orientate to legal convention and tradition and others defer to science and logic. Starting with anthropological studies of witchcraft, and working through to contemporary debates about epistemology and ontology in social science, this book systematically examines the ways key questions about these issues have been framed and answered.

Abstract

Dans cet essai, la philosophe et théoricienne des arts Manuela de Barros pense la société technologique comme espace d'hybridation de l'imaginaire occulte, des sciences et des techniques, résultant d'un processus de choix idéologiques, politiques et économiques.

Abstract

"Durant des siècles, il était convenu que le savoir académique était réservé aux seuls hommes, tandis que le savoir empirique, celui des acquis et des gestes façonnés par les croynaces et les usages, revenait aux femmes. Toutefois, dès le Moyen-Âge, des clercs cherchent à s'initier aux compétences pratiques, celles qui ont traversé le temps à l'abri des étables, des champs, des ateliers, et surtout des chambres des dames, cependant que des femmes s'efforcent d'accéder à la culture livresque. Par la suite, à l'aube de la Renaissance, tandis que l'ancien équilibre vacille, se pose la question de la place de l'humain dans l'univers et des frontières du monde connu. Les bûchers qui s'allument alors constituent une réponse angoissée au conflit opposant science et magie, découverte et tradition, mais aussi masculin et féminin. Depuis lors, même si l'accès au savoir et la nature ne semblent plus dépendre du genre, les convulsions qui jalonnent l'Histoire disent assez l'âpre confrontation entre les diverses conceptions de la connaissance qui ne parviendront jamais vraiment à s'harmoniser. Dans cet ouvrage riche de nombreux exemples, s'appuyant surtout sur la littérature, Karin Ueltschi nous conte l'une des plus belles aventures de l'humanité, que nous n'avons pas fini d'écrire."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Witch and Yale historian Diana Bishop discovers an enchanted manuscript, attracting the attention of 1,500-year-old vampire Matthew Clairmont. The orphaned daughter of two powerful witches, Bishop prefers intellect, but relies on magic when her discovery of a palimpsest documenting the origin of supernatural species releases an assortment of undead who threaten, stalk, and harass her. A Discovery of Witches introduced Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and reluctant witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherwordly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Book two of the All Souls trilogy plunges Diana and Matthew into Elizabethan London, a world of spies and subterfuge, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the mysterious School of Night. The pair's mission is to find traces of Ashmole 782, but as the net of Matthew's past tightens around them they embark on a very different - and vastly more dangerous - journey. After traveling through time in Shadow of Night, the second book in Deborah Harkness's enchanting series, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to face new crises and old enemies. At Matthew's ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches--with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy's final volume, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In ancestral homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to the palaces of Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.
