Aims of the Society
Established at Bristol, England in 2002 by two postgraduates, Alison Butler
and Dave Evans, the Society for the Academic Study of Magic (SASM) was created
to further communication and exchange among scholars interested in the study of
magic throughout the world and encompassing all eras.
Its range of concerns includes, but is by no means limited to, the history,
sociology, philosophy, psychology, anthropology of magic, magical practices and
theories of magic, as well as magical objects, artifacts and texts. We are
avowedly cross-disciplinary and thus would be interested to hear from anyone
in ANY academic discipline, and freelance researchers involved in studies
of such subjects. In furtherance of its ends, the Society aims to:
* Provide a network for scholars interested in the study of magic
* Inform members of upcoming conferences and events concerning the study of
magic
* Provide listings of recent publications and employment opportunities in
the subject area, and
* Publish a printed Journal yearly, containing news, book reviews and articles
of interest.
