Magical Bears in the Context of Contemporary Political Theory - Paperback

by Jenna Katerin Moran (Author)

For too long the disciplines of thaumatic ursology and political science have held themselves apart, each asserting its own unique magisterium. Isn't it time someone brought these two disparate fields to synthesis? In this revolutionary collection of short stories from the first international symposium on magical bears in the context of contemporary political theory, Dr. Moran reports on such diverse topics as: * the controversial provisions of the Patriot Act that empower "Senator Domino" on his demon-hunting campaign; * the political doctrine that kept the Rainbow World from participating in WWII; * the reasoning behind the recent revaluation of the yuan relative to the dollar; * the use of angels as weapons of war; and * the limitations of and elisions from the media coverage of the invasion and the occupation of Iraq.
