Enchantment

How can the power and seduction of enchantment intervene in the current political and cultural moment? In light of recent theories about "occult economies," "the magic of the state," "queer temporalities," and "the enchantment of everyday life," Enchantment invites scholars to move beyond social logics and political rationalities to explore magic, mysticisms, play, spiritualities, and fantasy.
