- Class Description:
- This seminar will investigate the intertwined global intellectual histories that contributed to the emergence of what became known in the 1970s as the "New Age." Various movements to be discussed include Theosophy and its associated linkages with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sufism, the rise of occult movements in Japan and elsewhere, as well as the rise of esotericism, spiritualism, anthroposophy, cybernetics, and the universal aspirations of perennialism. Beyond religious and philosophical texts, our discussion may touch on a series of related cultural phenomena: Jungianism and archetypal myths, the metaphysics of 1960s counterculture, California's evolving sense of regionalism, the social and psychological impact of hallucinogens, contentious appropriations of indigenous rituals from the Americas and Australia, and the global emergence of the Falun Gong in the 1990s.
