In its hermetism, it is as though parallel intellectual streams of film studies, media studies, the history of the book, and cultural theory had not all vigorously explored the interpretative significance of production, distribution, reception, and consumption contexts. She analyzes the work of the title scholars in astrology and magic whether their emphasis was definition and characterization of natural magic, humanist views of hermetism and witchcraft, or pseudepigraphy and prophecies, with a long glance at forgeries, and then considers Agrippa as a critical magus and an element in the radical arm of the Reformation, closing with a very interesting examination of Giordano Bruno as a reader and dealer of prohibited ideas. It is perhaps symptomatic that one of the major poetic movements at the rime was that of hermetism, which as the name suggests could only offer murky and incomprehensible images. |
