The near-absence of religion from contemporary discourse on art is one of the most fundamental issues in postmodernism. Artists critical of religion can find voices in the art world; but religion itself; including spirituality; is taken to be excluded by the very project of modernism. The sublime; "re-enchantment" (as in Weber); and the aura (as in Benjamin) have been used to smuggle religious concepts back into academic writing; but there is still no direct communication between "religionists" and scholars. Re-Enchantment; volume 7 in The Art Seminar Series; will be the first book to bridge that gap.The volume will include an introduction and two final; synoptic essays; as well as contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers on religion and art including Boris Groys; James Elkins; Thierry de Duve; David Morgan; Norman Girardot; Sally Promey; Brent Plate; and Christopher Pinney.
