Notions of magic and healing have been changing over past years and
are now understood as reflecting local ideas of power and agency,
as well as structures of self, subjectivity and affect. This study
focuses on contemporary urban Russia and, through exploring social
conditions, conveys the experience of living that makes magic
logical. By following people's own interpretations of the work of
magic, the author succeeds in unraveling the logic of local
practice and local understanding of affliction, commonly used to
diagnose the experiences of illness and misfortune.
