MAGIC- Myths, Artifacts, Gestures, Incantations, and Cyberpractic:
Directed by Prof. Marinella Ceravolo: explores the theme of magic as a historical-religious category and as a field of theoretical and methodological reflection that spans different eras and disciplines—from the history of religions to anthropology, from ancient to modern and contemporary history, to digital practices.
Alongside research activities, the project includes a series of monthly seminars, designed as opportunities for interdisciplinary discussion, with speakers who are researchers/lecturers from Sapienza and other universities, often international ones.
The activities were inaugurated with a round table in May (Digit@l Magic? Religions, practices, and beliefs on the web) and, last October, the first seminar was held with Eduard Iricinschi (On scholars and their supernatural beings).
The presentations given in this series of seminars will be published in one of the Quaderni di “Studi e Materiali di Storia delle Religioni”
