En busca de ese cosmos musical, este libro nos ofrece un viaje estimulante sobre la relación del ser humano con este arte. Una obra extraordinariamente tejida que abarca desde su evolución hasta los daños del colonialismo musical, pasando por un enfoque más científico sobre cómo responde el cerebro a la experiencia de músicos y aficionados.

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

Il 21 aprile 1966 Gregory Bateson – antropologo e padre dell’Ecologia della Mente - tenne un discorso alla conferenza “Two Worlds Symposium", presso lo State College di Sacramento, California. Quella che ascolterete è la trascrizione integrale di quell’intervento. Era iniziata proprio allora la mobilitazione degli studenti contro la guerra del Vietnam; quegli studenti erano parzialmente consapevoli di essere nati in un mondo impazzito ma disorientati e pieni di rabbia per non essere in grado di capirne le vere origini.

Non c'è canzone al mondo capace di scatenare entusiasmi di piazza, cori ed euforia come Bella ciao, ma allo stesso tempo non c'è canzone così capace di suscitare dibattiti e dividere gli animi.

In ogni manifestazione pubblica, a ogni anniversario, le note di Bella ciao sono simbolo di libertà e di liberazione. Ma dove nasce questa canzone?

Since the dawn of time, magic has been the node around which all human activities and culture revolve. As magic entered the development of science, art, philosophy, religion, myth, and psychology, it still retained its essence: that we have a dynamic connection with all other forms of life. Exploring the source magic that flows beneath the surface of culture and occulture throughout the ages, Carl Abrahamsson offers a “magical-anthropological” journey from ancient Norse shamanism to the modern magick of occultists like Genesis P-Orridge.

Was ist das Patriarchat, und wie ist es entstanden? Jahrhundertelang sahen Gesellschaften männliche Vorherrschaft als natürlich an. Was aber, wenn wir nicht davon ausgehen, dass Männer stets über Frauen herrschten? Wenn wir die Ungleichheit der Geschlechter als etwas Fragiles wahrnehmen, das immer wieder neu durchgesetzt werden muss?

Paolo Malaguti seleziona alcuni termini dialettali veneti entrati nella propria mitologia, ne dà una piccola storia linguistica, appoggiandosi a dizionari e storie della lingua, e poi lascia che il suono della parola prenda a evocare immagini, persone, eventi di un’infanzia e di una giovinezza sempre più distanti, veloci come i cambiamenti che stanno interessando quel mondo che il Veneto era, e di cui anche le tracce più profonde stanno sbiadendo.
