Abstract:
Discordianism, founded in 1957 and generally regarded as a “parody religion,” has only recently received scholarly consideration as a valid religious expression within modern Paganism (Cusack 2010). Yet ritual practice within Discordianism remains largely unexamined; Hugh Urban’s brief discussion of Discordian magical workings as a sub-category of Chaos Magic is the extent of academic discussion of the subject to date (Urban 2006). This article elaborates on Urban’s tantalising classification of Discordian magic. A brief history of Discordianism is sketched; then ritual and magic in the Discor

Abstract:
This is a paper about Discordianism. We learned about Discordianism and interviewed Discordians. In dit onderzoek hebben we Discordianisme tot op de bodem uitgepluisd. We vinden het erg interessant en vaak ook grappig. Het is een bizar geloof, met hele aparte volgelingen. Dit project heeft ons zeker weten meer inzicht gegeven over mensen met een, voor ons, ongebruikelijk geloof. Dit onderzoek heeft ons de kans gegeven om naar andere mensen te kijken dan onszelf. Dit heeft onze religieuze horizon vergroot, dit heeft ervoor gezorgd dat wij anders kijken naar mensen met andere ideeën dan dat

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the concept of invention and applies it to the study of New Religious Movements (NRMs). Invention plays a part in all religions and is linked to other conceptual lenses including syncretism and legitimation. Yet invention is more readily detected in contemporary phenomena (so-called “invented,” “hyper-real,” or “fiction-based” religions), which either eschew, or significantly modify, the appeals to authority, antiquity, and divine revelation that traditionally accompany the establishment of a new faith. The religions referred to in this chapter (including Discordianism,

Abstract:
Developing an open-source alternative to the UNIX operating system in the early 1980s, the master hacker Richard Stallman faced a dilemma: if he put his new GNU software in the public domain, people could copyright their improved versions, undermining the open-source cycle by taking away the freedoms he’d granted. So Stallman copyrighted GNU himself, and distributed it, at no cost, under a license that arguably was to have greater impact on the future of computing than even the software he was striving to protect. The GNU Emacs General Public License was the founding document of the copyleft.
