Each part of the book approaches this theme from a different angle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first part, entitled \"On Magic and Myth-Work,\" deals with practices of transformation and with contemporary myth-making in relation to landscape, performance, and writing. The second part, \"On Care and Repair,\" gathers together essays that are more personal, but that also look to various technologies (or devices) of self-care alongside ideas of collaboration and the collective. Crucial throughout this exploration are questions of agency and self-narration, but also how these connect to larger issues around historical trauma, neoliberalism, and ecological crisis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays reference many other texts and fellow travellers, and also draw on the author's own experiences (and teaching) within various art and theory worlds, as well as with performance, magical practices, gaming, and Buddhism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon O'Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915983045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915983046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goldsmiths Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Simon O'Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46070552232191,"sku":"9781915983046","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd90f0a0-ef3f-46a4-a88a-80d428bbc6c7.jpg?v=1724243608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-magic-and-myth-work-to-simon-osullivan-9781915983046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
