| Summary: | The relationship between religion and the Internet has been attracting more attention by researchers in recent years. Magic, however, is still relatively overlooked in this area, and has not given rise to influential studies in the field. Based on investigations on the Internet, other new information and communication technologies, and a survey of the scientific literature, this article intends to lay the groundwork for a consideration of magic and new information technology, and to highlight the specificity of a perspective in terms of digital magic, distinct from that of one exclusively focused on digital religion. Alors que les relations entre religion et Internet font l’objet de recherches de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années, la magie, parent pauvre de ces travaux, n’a pas encore donné lieu à de très importantes études. Sur la base d’investigations sur Internet et sur d’autres nouvelles technologies d’information et de communication, et s’appuyant également sur une revue de littérature scientifique, cet article entend précisément poser les jalons d’une réflexion sur les relations entre magie et NTIC, et dégager la singularité d’une approche en termes de magie digitale, par rapport à une approche exclusivement centrée sur la religion digitale. |
