«The Meanings of Magic» is a volume of essays on magic edited by Amy Wygant, published by Berghahn Books in hardback (252 pages, in English).
Nine specialists analyse magic: from early Christianity to Buffalo Bill's cinema, with stops in surrealism, alchemy and American fundamentalism. The volume ranges from popular to learned magic and from theory to practice, presenting it as the limit of science and religion without ever defining it.
Volume 11 of the Polygons: Cultural Diversities and Intersections series. Subtitle: «From the Bible to Buffalo Bill». Published on 30 November 2006.
Work of interest to readers of cultural anthropology, sociology of religion, cultural history and magic studies.
