title = "When transfiguration became commonplace",
abstract = "The Confraternity of Neoflagellants will give an illustrated reading from the final chapter of their book thN Lng folk 2go: Investigating Future Premoderns{\texttrademark} (New York: Punctum, 2013). Neomedievalism is conspicuously abundant in contemporary and futurist hypereconomies. Persistent medievalist archetypes such as host, relic-ing, virtus, gifting and commoning are popular practices and neomedieval themes. When Transfiguration Became Commonplace follows the early career of developer, content curator, and entrepreneurial provocateur Alexandr Petrovsky. Free&d-ing at WILLARD: TECHNOLOGY FOR ENCHANTMENT, Petrovsky ruthlessly mobilises metahistorical anachronisms as ever-expanding invocations of possible futures to navigate and conquer the flatland “an infinite hell of punitive creativity.” Petrovsky{\textquoteright}s development of the bioinformatic Brandeum project exploits neomedievalism{\textquoteright}s elasticated temporal looping and folding, opening a untimely perspective on the emerging hypereconomics of the 21st century and related non-modern futurities.",
