Marina Warner’s latest work, Sanctuary: The Shelter of Stories (working title), the publication of which will coincide with our conference, opens with a scene from a film, where a man being chased finds refuge in a cathedral. Marina Warner describes how, as he lifts the giant door knocker, it becomes a hinge between danger and safety, enveloping the suppliant in a protective halo and becoming a portal to the Church’s ancient rite of, and right to, sanctuary. Enchanting Wor(l)ds will examine the myriad ways in which Marina Warner has dedicated her career to analysing how objects, spaces, temporalities, people, worlds and words can become enchanted: how they might be imbued with power, aura, mystery or dread.

How do different sensory arrangements and pedagogies contribute to the erosion, maintenance, or resurgence of collective memories across individual and trans-generational time? How might sensory experiences and interventions contribute to migrant performance, stories, and media—and to articulating “migrant futures” (Bahng)?

Many believe the rise in inequality, drastic climate changes, migration, religious fundamentalism and lack of basic facilities and growing social, political and economic insecurities has been some of the factors, that led many to question the legitimacy of democratic institutions and practices.
