This volume offers new approaches to some of the biggest persistent
challenges in the study of esotericism and beyond. Commonly
understood as a particularly "Western" undertaking consisting of
religious, philosophical, and ritual traditions that go back to
Mediterranean antiquity, this book argues for a global approach
that significantly expands the scope of esotericism and highlights
its relevance for broader theoretical and methodological debates in
the humanities and social sciences. The contributors offer critical
interventions on aspects related to colonialism, race, gender and
sexuality, economy, and marginality. Equipped with a substantial
introduction and conclusion, the book offers textbook-style
discussions of the state of research and makes concrete proposals
for how esotericism can be rethought through broader engagement
with neighboring fields.
