Synopsis of Making Magic
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.
