Abstract [en]

This chapter summarizes the main conceptual and empirical arguments and findings of the volume. The studies collected in the book indicate how the relationship between esotericism and deviance is contextual and situated. Deviance is not monolithic, and the category can incorporate identities of willing outsider status as well as involuntary stigma. Though many forms of esotericism have historically been seen as deviant, others have been mainstream. Further, imagined or polemical deviance is not always historically factual. Taken together, this calls for a nuanced understanding of historical and contextual specificity in the continued study of esotericism and its relationship to processes of normalization and normativization, othering, marginalization, and rejection.
