<b>Fables of Re-enchantment. Multiplicity, Imaginary, Revolution</b><br>
Stefania Consigliere<br>
Translated by Steven Colatrella<br>
<br>
<i>Ghosts, oracles, and talking plants… an atlas for escaping
disenchantment</i><br>
<br>
Enchantment has disappeared from our lives. Whoever dares to
mention it violates the most basic epistemological canons that
hold our world together and is immediately labeled ignorant or
mad. It is suspicious, however, that the taboo on enchantment
comes about just as the historical process of modernity begins to
produce spectres and nightmares on an industrial scale. The world
is populated by ghosts and no one can talk about them. Even
revolutionary thought has conformed to this precept, abandoning
the imaginary to the violence of fascism: an enormous historical
error since it has brought about the demobilization of
intelligence and sensibility on the most crucial terrain for any
form of change. <br>
<br>
Uniting archeology with modernity, anthropology and yearning, <i>Fables
of Re-enchantment</i> analyzes the knot that links
disenchantment and totalitarianism; it observes the ruinous
effects that it has produced for human and non-human lives; and it
sketches another way of thinking of the revolution, the
multiplicity, and relations with the imaginary, the pre-individual
and the invisible. <br>
<br>
A book of anthropology, ecology and philosophy, written as a
fable. A book for returning to wonder and to shake off fear in the
years of global terror. <br>
