[ecrea] Communication +1 new issue: Occult Communications: On Instrumentation, Esotericism, and Epistemology

communication +1 is pleased to present: Occult Communications: On 
Instrumentation, Esotericism, and Epistemology

* Guest Edited by Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan *

What can the occult, the obscure, and the incommunicable teach us about 
the history of communications and culture? Occult Communications: On 
Instrumentation, Esotericism, and Epistemology (ed. Bernard Dionysius 
Geoghegan), the newly released issue of Communication+1, examines how 
spiritualism, esotericism, and occultism have shaped the dominant 
cultures of reason in European and North American contexts from the 
seventeenth-century until today. Case studies in media archaeology and 
historical epistemology on issues such as spirit photography, horror 
films, exorcisms, stage magic, surrealism, and brains-in-vats examine 
so-called magical thinking and its operations at the heart of modern 
scientific and technological reason.

Contributors includes Tessel M. Bauduin, Anthony Enns, Bernard Dionysius 
Geoghegan, Stephan Gregory, Christian Kassung, Petra Löffler, Margarida 
Medeiros, Simone Natale, Katherina Rein, Laurence Rickels, Erhard 
Schüttpelz, Jeffrey Sconce, Florian Sprenger, and Ehler Voss.


To the authors we extend our deep gratitude for their contributions. To 
the readers we extend our invitation for input and suggestions.

The following pages begin a conversation we hope will continue. And it 
is to those whom have spoken we shall turn.
