Il "rituale drammatico" in Crowley nella prospettiva dei Performance Studies

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the dramatic rituals as they were theorized by the british occultist and ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley in his magnum opus, Magick in Theory and Practice. For this purpose, the methodological perspective will be constituted by Performance studies, with reference above all to the theorizations of Victor Turner and Richard Schechner.
