Henrik Arnstad skriver en ess\u00e4 p\u00e5 ett uppslag i Aftonbladet Kultur<\/a> om nutidens vurm f\u00f6r trolldom, magi och \u00f6vernaturlighet. Detta utifr\u00e5n forskarantologin The Oxford illustrated history of witchcraft and magic (OUP).<\/p>\n

Ett \u00e5terkommande inslag i samh\u00e4llsdebatten \u00e4r att religi\u00f6s invandring hotar \u201ddet sekul\u00e4ra\u201d Sverige. Den rasistiska tanken \u00e4r att \u00f6verl\u00e4gsen svenskhet, via progressiv modernitet, l\u00e4mnat vidskepelsen bakom sig till skillnad fr\u00e5n primitiva utl\u00e4nningar. Problemet \u00e4r att denna f\u00f6rest\u00e4llning om sekul\u00e4ra svenskar inte st\u00e4mmer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ist\u00e4llet har svenskarna, liksom andra nationaliteter i v\u00e4stv\u00e4rlden, konstruerat egna religioner och metafysiska trossystem; astrologi, sp\u00f6ken, andar, liv efter d\u00f6den, healing, \u00f6det, telepati och s\u00e5 vidare.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sverige marineras i trolldom, \u00e4ven explicit. Tusentals svenskar anger Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry under rubriken utbildning p\u00e5 sociala medier. Halvt p\u00e5 sk\u00e4mt, halvt p\u00e5 allvar. Utan tvivel finns det fler rituella magiker i v\u00e4stv\u00e4rlden i dag \u00e4n vad det gjorde f\u00f6r fem \u00e5rhundraden sedan, skriver historikern Owen Davies i forskarantologin The Oxford illustrated history of witchcraft and magic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Boken polemiserar mot 1900-talets historievetenskapliga tanke, att moderniteten innebar the disenchantment of the west<\/em>, det vill s\u00e4ga att magins tids\u00e5lder (f\u00f6r att citera sociologen Max Weber) upph\u00f6rde, f\u00f6r ungef\u00e4r 200 \u00e5r sedan.<\/div>\n

Den moderna bokindustrin och \u00f6kad l\u00e4skunnighet gav gamla magib\u00f6cker en spridning de aldrig haft tidigare. N\u00e4r dessutom institutionaliserad kristendom f\u00f6rsvagades uppstod lediga andliga f\u00e4lt f\u00f6r det ockulta. Trolldomen fl\u00f6dade under 1800-talet parallellt med den industriella revolutionen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Det yttersta exemplet p\u00e5 nutidens vurm f\u00f6r trolldom \u00e4r naturligtvis Harry Potter:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00c5r 1997 anl\u00e4nde den magiska v\u00e4rldens nutida trollkarl par excellence \u2013 Harry Potter, d\u00e5 f\u00f6rfattaren J.K. Rowling utgav sin f\u00f6rsta bok om den magiske hj\u00e4lten. I dag har upp emot 500 miljoner b\u00f6cker om Harry Potter s\u00e5lts \u00f6ver hela v\u00e4rlden. Redan 2011 hade filmerna spelat in 40 miljarder kronor, vilket gjorde dem till v\u00e4rldens mest l\u00f6nande spelfilmer genom tiderna \u2013 i h\u00e5rd konkurrens med de magifixerade Tolkien-filmerna.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
