Patrick Curry

3.6/5 ( ratings)

I hold a B.A. , M.Sc. , and Ph.D. .

Since September 2006 I have been a Lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of Kent , where I teach in the MA programme on the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination. From 2002-06 I was a Lecturer at the Sophia Centre, Bath Spa University College, where I co-taught the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astronomy.

I have reviewed books for History Today, New Statesman, The Guardian, The Independent and the Times Literary Supplement; appeared on two television programmes; and taken part in two programmes on BBC Radio Four. I also appear in interviews of two of the three extended New Line DVD’s on The Lord of the Rings.

My ongoing project concerns enchantment as a common but little-mentioned human experience – one which touches on and connects a wide range of strange bedfellows: nature, erotic communion, art, divination and spirituality. It is influenced by the work of Max Weber and succeeding critical theorists, as well as other writers such as as J.R.R. Tolkien, Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, David Abram, Sean Kane, Val Plumwood, Bruno Latour and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. I am also very interested in related issues such as the nature of truth, metaphor, embodied phenomenology, pluralism and post-secularism.
