Contents List from a folder in the Theatre of Research

Unlike a Library the Theatre of Research is a working space that creates and crafts both theoretical and practical objects, things and documentation. Its reason for being is to explore the praxis for creative narratives between the Arts and The Humanities.

"into a universe of creative enchantments" Guattari

The French thinker Felix Guattari, in a powerful historical essay, has asked some fundamental questions about the direction in which the century and its achievements in technology are taking us; he calls for a new vitality in the relations between individuals and the language of the culture they inhabit:' Unconscious figures of power and knowledge are not universals. They are tied to reference myths profoundly anchored in the psyche, but they can still swing around toward liberatory paths/voices.' He too sketches the possibility of a utopia, dreaming of 'transforming this planet - a living hell for over three quarters of its population - into a universe of creative enchantments'.
