Graham St. John

    Graham St John je austrálsky kultúrny antropológ, ktorý sa špecializuje na festivaly, neotribalizmus a entheogény. Jeho práca skúma prepojenie medzi technológiami, spiritualitou a globálnymi subkultúrami, najmä v kontexte elektronickej tanečnej hudby a rave kultúry. St John sa zaoberá tým, ako tieto fenomény formujú súčasnú kultúrnu identitu a komunitné väzby po celom svete. Jeho výskum sa často zameriava na rituálne aspekty moderných spoločenských zhromaždení a hľadanie transcendentných zážitkov v súčasnom svete.

    Victor Turner and Contemporary Cultural Performance
    Mystery school in hyperspace. A cultural history of DMT
    • Upon the 25th anniversary of his passing, this collection addresses the wide application of Victor Turner’s thought to cultural performance in the early 21st century. From anthropology, sociology, and religious studies to performance, cultural, and media studies, Turner’s ideas have had a prodigious interdisciplinary impact. Examining his relevance in studies of performance and popular culture, media, and religion, along with the role of Edith Turner in the Turnerian project, contributors explore how these ideas have been re-engaged, renovated, and repurposed in studies of contemporary cultural performance.
