Shiv Visvanathan, Suely Rolnik and Sarat Maharaj have a God-given (or rather a Hegel-given) right to philosophically game with invented nonsense terminology the naive that go to their lectures and read their books. People used to think the world was full of spiritual powers, evil eyes and supernatural forces. Educated people don't now. But the need to believe still is a craving as is the desire to feel one might control the chaotic and nasty side of the world so a sociology priesthood has arisen to fill the vacuum. Not with hocus pocus magical language but sociological verbiage and Tate Modern talks. If you want to understand this contemporary "sociological"/"left-wing" pseudoscience, I suggest, an anthropologist on magic such as Tambiah. Lese-majesty.
