Davidsen in Culture & Religion journal mentions otherkin

Content warnings: None.

October: Markus Altena Davidsen published the article "Fiction-based religion: Conceptualising a new category against history-based religion and fandom" in Culture and Religion: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Apparently Davidsen mentions otherkin. Davidsen wrote, "Additional examples include the Otherkin who believe themselves to be 'other-than-humans'; for instance, Elves, Dragons or Angels," and cited Danielle Kirby's articles about otherkin. I don't know if this is the only passing mention of otherkin in the article, or if Davidsen talks about them more, because I don't have access to the full article.

Marking for more investigation later, but preliminary searches seem to indicate I don't have access to this journal/article in the databases we subscribe to.

Not sure if folks have already noticed this or not, or found the article elsewhere in the past year, but it is currently freely available at the above link. In case it stops being available there at any point in the future, I am also archiving it here: http://thelibrary.dreamhart.org/data/public/250953.php?dl=true (http://thelibrary.dreamhart.org/data/public/250953.php?dl=true)
