埃克塞特大学将设立魔幻学位
魔法文硕课程将于2024年开课
埃克塞特大学日前表示，该校将于2024年开设英国首批魔幻学位课程。
课程负责人表示：由于“近来人们对魔幻的兴趣陡增”，因此开设了“革新般”的魔幻与神秘学文硕课程。
负责人们表示：这将提供一个从社会和科学角度研究世界各地魔法和魔幻的历史及其影响的机会。
课程为期一年，于2024年9月开始。
历史、文学、哲学、考古学、社会学、心理学、戏剧、宗教等领域的专家学者将展示魔幻在东西方的影响。
该大学表示，这是英国唯一一门将魔幻史研究如此广泛地与其他学科相结合的研究生课程。
“魔幻之地”
课程负责人Emily Selove教授说：“近来学术界内外对魔幻和神秘学的兴趣陡增，这是我们社会最紧迫的核心问题。”
“去殖民化、替代认识论探索、女权主义和反种族主义是这份课程的核心。”
课程将开设于阿拉伯和伊斯兰研究学院。
Selove教授说：“该文硕课程将使人们重新审视该假设：西方是理性主义与科学之地，而世界其他地方是魔幻与迷信之地。”
该大学表示，该课程可以帮助学生为教学、咨询、指导、文物和博物馆工作、图书馆、旅游、艺术组织或出版业等领域的工作做好准备。
可选课程包括西方文学和艺术中的龙、亚瑟王传说、古文学、伊斯兰思想、考古理论和实践以及中世纪妇女形象。

The MA course in magic will begin in 2024

The "innovative" MA in Magic and Occult Science has been created following a "recent surge in interest in magic", the course leader said.
It would offering an opportunity to study the history and impact of witchcraft and magic around the world on society and science, bosses said.
The one-year programme starts in September 2024.
Academics with expertise in history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, drama, and religion will show the role of magic on the West and the East.
The university said it was one of the only postgraduate courses of its kind in the UK to combine the study of the history of magic with such a wide range of other subjects.
'Place of magic'
Prof Emily Selove, course leader, said: "A recent surge in interest in magic and the occult inside and outside of academia lies at the heart of the most urgent questions of our society.
"Decolonisation, the exploration of alternative epistemologies, feminism and anti-racism are at the core of this programme."
The course will be offered in the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies.
Prof Selove said: "This MA will allow people to re-examine the assumption that the West is the place of rationalism and science, while the rest of the world is a place of magic and superstition."
The university said the course could prepare students for careers in teaching, counselling, mentoring, heritage and museum work, work in libraries, tourism, arts organisations or the publishing industry, among other areas of work.
A choice of modules includes dragons in western literature and art, the legend of King Arthur, palaeography, Islamic thought, archaeological theory and practice and the depiction of women in the Middle Ages.
