Abstract

"Pedagogies of magic have their own cocooned metaphors waiting to hatch. In literature and the arts, magic ties its practitioners to systems of learning and methods of becoming. Enchanted Pedagogies, edited by Kari Adelaide Razdow, is a collection of essays by artists and writers who reflect on archetypes and tropes of enchantment, intertwining elements such as transformation, imagination, creativity, and empathy. These essays evoke shapeshifters, witches, ghosts, fools, fairies, hags, gnomes, selkies, and more, exploring multi-disciplinary artistic practices. Enchanted Pedagogies presents ways to expand, imagine, and circumvent modes of creativity and pedagogies through personal, theoretical, practice based, and hybrid explorations. The fantastic and poetic intertwine in a space of reflexive storytelling, renewing significant transformational elements of the arts and education. Contributors are: Jesse Bransford, Vanessa Chakour, Trinie Dalton, Lorenzo De Los Angeles, Thom Donovan, Laura Forsberg, Pam Grossman, Amy Hale, Elizabeth Insogna, Candice Ivy, Tiffany Jewell, Alessandro Keegan, Jac Lahav, Ruth Lingford, Maria Pinto, Kris N. Racaniello, Kari Adelaide Razdow, Alicia Smith, Janaka Stucky, Kay Turner, Meg Whiteford and Erin Yerby"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Les animaux fantastiques tiennent une place discrète mais constante dans nos imaginaires contemporains, comme en témoigne leur présence dans des œuvres aussi différentes que Harry Potter ou Game of Thrones. Leur nature hybride et leur apparence monstrueuse provoquent fascination et répulsion, mais, contrairement aux monstres humanoïdes, ils sont considérés comme des créatures que l'homme peut dompter, voire domestiquer. Cette exposition interroge l'origine et les fonctions de ces créatures ambiguës, tour à tour images de la terreur et de l'attirance qu'inspire le divin, le transcendant et l'inconnu, ou expression de notre inconscient camouflé, incarnations de nos angoisses ou de notre nostalgie pour le merveilleux. Cette exposition montrera les aventures et tribulations de figures iconiques comme le sphinx, le dragon, le griffon, la licorne, ou le phénix dans une approche transculturelle (et transmédiatique), à travers œuvres et objets d'art, architecture, littérature, musique et cinéma. Le but est de donner à un large public de nouvelles clefs de compréhension sur des figures mythiques, voire légendaires, dont les origines sont souvent ignorées. "Fantastic animals hold a discreet but constant place in our contemporary imaginations, as evidenced by their presence in works as different as Harry Potter or Game of Thrones. Their hybrid nature and monstrous appearance provoke fascination and repulsion, but, unlike humanoid monsters, they are considered creatures that man can tame, even domesticate. This exhibition questions the origin and functions of these ambiguous creatures, in turn images of terror and attraction inspired by the divine, the transcendent and the unknown, or expression of our camouflaged unconscious, incarnations of our anxieties or our nostalgia for the marvelous. This exhibition will show the adventures and tribulations of iconic figures such as the sphinx, the dragon, the griffin, the unicorn, or the phoenix in a transcultural (and transmedia) approach, through works and objects of art, architecture, literature, music and movie theater. The aim is to give a wide audience new keys to understanding mythical, even legendary figures, whose origins are often ignored"--Cultura.
