How can researchers study magic without destroying its mystery?
Drawing on a collaborative project between the playwright Poppy
Corbett, the poet Anna Kisby Compton, and the historian William G.
Pooley, this Element presents thirteen tools for creative-academic
research into magic, illustrated through case studies from France
(1790-1940) and examples from creative outputs: write to discover;
borrow forms; use the whole page; play with footnotes; erase the
sources; write short; accumulate fragments; re-enact; improvise;
use dialogue; change perspective; make methods of metaphors; use
props. These tools are ways to 'untell' the dominant narratives
that shape stereotypes of the 'witch' which frame belief in
witchcraft as ignorant and outdated. Writing differently suggests
ways to think and feel differently, to stay with the magic, rather
than explaining it away. The Element includes practical creative
exercises to try as well as research materials from French
newspaper and trial sources from the period.
