Thank you - so how much would that be?

>> Can I remind you of our conference at Kent, Daimonic Imagination: Uncanny Intelligence, to be held 6-7 May. Further details, flyer, booking form and call for papers are at www.kent.ac.uk/mythconference so please have a look and consider sending in an abstract! (and please pass on the link to anyone who may be interested). The theme of autonomous spiritual intelligence is a controversial one and we hope to address it from many different perspectives, with emphasis on the practitioner/scholar question which is a concern of many on this list!

>> Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] CFP: The Matter of Spirit
>>
>> A recent CFP that might be of interest to some on this list:
>>
>> The Matter of Spirit: Plasma, Aether, Urstoff and the Emergence of German
>> Modernism (Deadline: 2/10/2011; German Studies Association; 09/22-25, 2011)
>>
>> Nineteenth century Germany played host to a whole range of approaches
>> designed to conceptualize the material foundations of psychic functions.
>> Beginning around 1800 with Friedrich Schellingıs Naturphilosophie, and its
>> extraordinarily influential equation of world-soul with primal matter, the
>> interest in a physical science of spirit culminated, by the second half of
>> the century, in the invention of new disciplines like evolutionary biology
>> (Ernst Haeckel, Thomas Henry Huxley) and experimental psychology (Wilhelm
>> Wundt, Alfred Binet), which sought to study the empirical substrate of
>> mental life. The phenomenon did not, however, remain confined to the natural
>> sciences. Concepts like "plasma" and "aether," which played the role of
>> substrate for the scientists, soon also figured prominently in the context
>> of occult experiments (Albert v. Schrenck-Notzing), mystical theosophies
>> (Rudolf Steiner, Bruno Wille), philosophical speculations (Arthur
>> Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche), modernist poetics (Robert Müller, Thomas
>> Mann), and avant-garde media aesthetics (Raoul Hausmann, Laszlo
>> Moholy-Nagy). The panel seeks to explore the significance of this widespread
>> fascination with spiritual "matter" for the development of German Modernism.
>>
>> We invite papers addressing topics including but not limited to: the impact
>> of Naturphilosophie on 19th century natural science; the reimagining of
>> "spirit" in the fields of experimental psychology and evolutionary biology;
>> occult "research" practices like spirit photography/cinematography; theories
>> of materialist monism and/or theosophical unity; aesthetic appropriations of
>> concepts like plasma and Urstoff; avant-garde reception of scientific and
>> occult models of spiritual matter.
>>
>> Please send an abstract of approx. 300 words by Feb. 10 to Sarah Pourciau
>> ([log in to unmask]), Tobias Wilke ([log in to unmask]), and Lisa
>> Cerami ([log in to unmask]).
