The disenchantment of the world accomplished by the development of capitalism and modern science is a common enough theme in contemporary art and philosophy. Markets and colonialism have driven out the demons, gods, and spirits of the old world and given us a new one, now bathed in the aura of technological advancement. Or so the narrative goes. In the midst of this narrative of secularization, there are examples of new folkore, fantasy, and magic which resist the “iron cage” of bureaucratic rationalization. One such thread of re-enchantment concerns the discovery and popularization of dinosaurs.
