Description: Conjuring HopeHealing and Magic in Contemporary Russia Author(s): Galina Lindquist Format: Paperback Publisher: Berghahn Books, United Kingdom Imprint: Berghahn Books ISBN-13: 9781845450939, 978-1845450939 Synopsis Notions of magic and healing have been changing over past years and are now understood as reflecting local ideas of power and agency, as well as structures of self, subjectivity and affect. This study focuses on contemporary urban Russia and, through exploring social conditions, conveys the experience of living that makes magic logical. By following people's own interpretations of the work of magic, the author succeeds in unraveling the logic of local practice and local understanding of affliction, commonly used to diagnose the experiences of illness and misfortune.
