Taken together, the studies presented in this collection suggest that the idea that religion and magic are connected to each other in some consistent, universal way may be nothing more than a reminiscence from nineteenth century anthropology. Further, these studies challenge another part of anthropology’s historical legacy: the idea that magic is something that modernity and modernization will transcend. Rather, these studies suggest instead that magic is a form of work that brings modernity into being and helps render it intelligible to those who find themselves engaged in its creation. This volume brings together historical (pre- and post-1989), ethnographic, and areal studies which look at the divergent roles of state, culture, society, tradition, and the individual in enactments of magic and religion. Assessing the role magic and religion have played in the countries of Eastern Europe and beyond before and after the Cold War, it is an absorbing read for scholars of anthropology and history as well as ethnology.Soviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;173.ReligionmagicSocialismPostsocialismReligionmagicSocialismPostsocialism200.91717Cotofana AlexandraedtNyce JamesedtUmland AndreasDr.edtStasulane AnitaauiNyce James MctbCoțofană AlexandractbJasarevic LarisactbBogdanova ZlatinactbForrester SibelanctbGirigan GabrielctbHiiemäe ReetctbJerotijević DanijelactbLeitane IvetactbProvis RenéctbRepciuc IoanactbPollock JessicactbMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959743903321Religion and Magic in Socialist and Post-Socialist Contexts II4414050UNINA
