Chapter #1 ✧ What is Magic?
The introductory chapter will take the shape of a short literature review of relevant (re)sources and selected material to narrow down my research questions within a defined scope and context relevant to its application in my graduation project and my personal positioning. Which will shape the foundation of the following chapters.
It goes without saying that encapsulating the entirety of Magic, nor art, as a concept within a thesis is impossible. So to enter this thesis, it feels important to begin with a comprehensive outline of the many concepts and terms it will discuss. Both as a way to investigate various definitions, ideas and understandings of Magic, and other connected topics, to understand its wider context and the more systematized approach I will explore in chapter 2 and 3, as well as the graduation project.
To illustrate the more general and overarching terms and concepts, the second part of this first chapter will cover a range of examples of magic practices and rituals which contain significant aspects of artistic expression or have a notable link to artistic practices, movements or the like. (+examples)
Chapter #2 ✧ Magic Systems
Chapter two is a more detailed continuation of the latter part of the first chapter and concerns itself with a deeper analysis of relevant examples.
Humans and Magic, in its many forms throughout history, have been in an ever-fluctuating relationship — Between public(-ly accepted) displays of affection or condemned to the margins of private devotion.
Chapter #3 ✧ Protocols for Magic
The third chapter effectively connects the previous section to the graduation project. Describing prototype magic system ideas, process, execution and reflection.
