Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge
23rd March 2015
An interdisciplinary symposium presented by the Cambridge University
Counterculture Research Group
An increasing number of writers, artists and film-makers are
re-investing the British landscape with esoteric and mythic imagery.
From the revival of ‘Folk Horror’ to the cross-over between magical
and artistic practice, this ‘enchanted’ representation of the rural
works as both a link to the past and an articulation of pressing
contemporary concerns.
This special one-day symposium at the University of Cambridge seeks to
explore the creative, aesthetic and political implications of this
‘geographic turn’.
Confirmed speakers include:
Andy Sharp (English Heretic)
Sharron Kraus (Friends and Enemies, Lovers and Strangers)
Drew Mulholland (Mount Vernon Arts Lab / The Norwood Variations)
Chris Lambert (Tales from the Black Meadow)
