Diffractive Readings/Blue Spaces Of Everyday Enchantments.

The  New Materialisms.

Today we must come to terms with our knowledge that there is no clear objective mind-body split, that we are part of fields of matter, materials are matter, and matter is always connected to all other matter, the notion of negating materiality is no longer ontologically possible.

The Enchantment of Modern Life. Attachments, Crossing and Ethics.

The performativity of social representations When I gather together the animals, arguments, molecules, suggestions, forces, interpretations, sounds, people, and images of this study, one theme emerges. The modern story of disenchantment leaves out important things, and it neglects crucial sources of ethical generosity in doing so. Without modes of enchantment, we might not have the energy and inspiration to enact ecological projects, or to contest ugly and unjust modes of commercialization, or to respond generously to humans and nonhumans that challenge our settled identities. These enchantments are already in and around us.
