Reality as Magic: Federico Campagna in Conversation with Chiara Ambrosio Part I

We are delighted to share the first episode of the TM Live podcast series Incantations, Reality as Magic: Federico Campagna in Conversation with Chiara Ambrosio.

What are the different meanings of magic? How can imagination empower us? Does solidarity require an identity, a social or political filiation?

This is part one of a conversation with Federico Campagna and Chiara Ambrosio, where we discuss Federico's book Magic and Technic: the Reconstruction of Reality (Bloomsbury 2018), and Chiara Ambrosio’s film La Frequenza Fantasma (The Phantom Frequency, 2014). Both authors posit magic as a frame of reality for understanding and experiencing the world, and its potential to subvert social hierarchies.

Federico Campagna is a philosopher and writer based in London. His research combines metaphysics, theology and cultural studies, with the aim of exploring fundamental strategies for emancipation in the 21st century.

Chiara Ambrosio is a filmmaker and visual artist based in London, working with animation, documentary, sound and the printed matter.
