Isn't there inherent in magic a criticism . . .

"Isn't there inherent in magic a criticism of worldviews that rely on quick and simple quantification (scientific method, capitalist-commodity logic, laws and behaviour, normative values) that are accepted and triumph on the sheer authority and legitimacy that come with being able to measure. Doesn't magic call for a re-examination of these values, casting deep shadows of doubt on those rationalistic frames, and urging, inciting, and infecting us with its force--casting us towards a face-to-face confrontation with a vast, infinitely dark, continually recreated, and immeasurable world?"

. . . Marcin Kedzior . . . from MANHATTAN, DANCE, MAGIC . . .
