Here’s “The Politics of Magic,” the 2008 essay in Scope that introduced the Centaur Manifesto. It’s about the fantasy boom after 9/11, ideology, ecocriticism, actor-network theory, magic, shamanism, phenomenology and animism.
The one thinker missing in “The Politics of Magic” is Carl Jung – I didn’t dive into Jung and the post-Jungians until after I finished the essay and started to look for where to go next. For what I’ve written so far about Jung and the post-Jungians, see these essays from Flow.
