Lecture: Art & Enchantment
About
In this talk, Patrick Curry shall begin by devoting some time to answering the question, ‘What is enchantment?’, as well as what it is therefore not. We will consider its essential characteristics and dynamics, including wonder, relationality, wildness, concrete magic, truth, and passingness, and the conditions that either favour enchantment or discourage it. Then we shall move on to looking at how these play out in art, specifically painting, music and fiction, before closing by thinking through the implications for any project of ‘re-enchanting the world’.
