Vast numbers of western youth have attached primary significance to raving and post-rave experiences. Wuh? This collection of essays explores the socio-cultural and religious dimensions of the rave, 'raving' and rave-derived phenomena.Insights on developments in post-traditional religiosity (especially 'New Age' and 'Neo-Paganism') through studies of rave's Gnostic narratives of ascensionism and re-enchantment, explorations of the embodied spirituality and millennialist predispositions of dance culture, and investigations of transnational digital-art countercultures manifesting at geographic locations as diverse as Goa, India, and Nevada's Burning Man festival. |
