Dr. Campagna鈥檚 research concerns the theory, politics, and history of world-building. His latest books are Prophetic Culture (Bloomsbury, 2021) and Technic and Magic (Bloomsbury, 2018); his next book will investigate the history of cosmological imagination in the Mediterranean area. An associate fellow at London鈥檚 Warburg Institute, he also teaches at 脡cole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL), a university of art and design in Lausanne, Switzerland; is rights director at the UK/US radical publisher Verso; and senior editor at the Italian philosophy publisher Timeo, which he co-founded.
鈥淚'm very excited to have Dr. Campagna with us,鈥� said Dr. Amy Slagle, coordinator for the forum series. 鈥淗is work, especially his book Technic and Magic: The Reconstruction of Reality, presents a deeply poetic and philosophical analysis of the underpinnings of the ecological, political, and economic crises we currently face. He's a brilliant thinker and I'm sure his presentation will be provocative, leaving the audience with much to ponder.鈥�
