hi Kirsten,

> Preternature
> Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural,

> Preternature is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal housed at
> The Pennsylvania State University, and published in Oxford, England.
very good to see this peer reviewing and publishing continuing.
> Formerly known as the Journal for the Academic Study of Magic,
is there some description of why this was changed, and does
this have some effect on this forum, or is it wholly unrelated?
> Preternature publishes original scholarship and texts in
> edition/translation on magics, the occult, spiritualism,
> demonology, monstrophy, and the 'preternatural' in all
> its cultural, historical, anthropological, artistic,
> literary, and folkloric iterations. ...
does this mean that the focus is being taken off of magic
and spread out to all of these fields, in part symbolized
by the change of the journal's name?
is there a backstory re personnel, funding, or somethng else?
curious, thanks.
