Issue focussing on rituals and magical practices within contemporary art and visual culture.The Magical theme related to ‘spells’ is understood in the widest interpretation possible, as something supernatural, something which goes beyond traditions of rationale or logic. And importantly, Magic also is understood in this issue as something which is at the heart of rationale and logic itself, undermining these epistemologies’ promised security. Why, when, and how do we cast spells? What spells do we need right now? The issue is filled to the brim with contributions answering, nuancing, and broadening our scope. Topics a.o. : Feminist shamans, rituals of healing , a manifestation of the algorithmic imaginary on tiktok. See also Max Weber, and Stroom project Attempts to Read the World (Differently) (ARW(D)).
