The School also aims to train psychologists, who can apply their knowledge in the fields of economics, banking, human resources management, organizational development, ecopsychology and team-building.
A SESSION OF FOLK MAGIC WITH SUBSEQUENT DEBUNKING: MAGIC FROM PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
Moderator: Polina A. Podtyagina, PhD in Psychology, Junior Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Salutogenic Environment Psychology, Higher School of Economics
Folk magic is commonly approached with a significant — if not decisive — degree of skepticism. However, practice shows that the matter is not so simple.
The seminar will demonstrate that folk magic can be both superstition and something grounded in natural scientific principles. In conditions where medicine and pharmacology were underdeveloped, a decisive role was played by the state of the human body itself, including its hormonal system, as well as a person’s psychological condition. It is precisely the regulation of these factors that traditional healing magic — particularly incantations — was aimed at.
Examples will be discussed in which what is known as a “hormonal surge” has a significant impact not only on a person’s psychological state but also on their physical condition. Participants will also learn what valuable insights modern individuals can draw from traditional practices.
