«Science, Magic & Religion» is the anthropology and museology essay edited by Mary Bouquet and Nuno Porto, in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The volume studies the museum as a ritual space: the actors of cultural production dramatize and ritualize their halls, and visitors participate in performances and experiences that resignify the institution. It brings together cases of contemporary museums in Europe and Africa to expand the idea of «museum magic».
Volume 23 of the «New Directions in Anthropology» series, published by Berghahn Books in 2006; first paperback edition.
Aimed at students and professionals of museology, cultural anthropology and social sciences interested in the analysis of museums as ritual spaces.
