9858_495 | In 2013, Asprem and Granholm highlighted that "contemporary esotericism is intimately, and |
9858_496 | increasingly, connected with popular culture and new media." |
9858_497 | Granholm noted that esoteric ideas and images appear in many aspects of Western popular media, |
9858_498 | citing such examples as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avatar, Hellblazer, and His Dark Materials. |
9858_499 | Granholm has argued that there are problems with the field in that it draws a distinction between |
9858_500 | esotericism and non-esoteric elements of culture that draw upon esotericism. He cites extreme metal |
9858_501 | as an example, noting that it is extremely difficult to differentiate between artists who were |
9858_502 | "properly occult" and those who superficially referenced occult themes and aesthetics. |
9858_503 | Writers interested in occult themes have adopted three different strategies for dealing with the |
9858_504 | subject: those who are knowledgeable on the subject including attractive images of the occult and |
9858_505 | occultists in their work, those who disguise occultism within "a web of intertextuality", and those |
9858_506 | who oppose it and seek to deconstruct it. |
