Enchantment and Digital Technologies: Cultivating Children's Enchantment with the More-Than-Human through Video-Walks in Local Places
Renshaw, Peter; Jackson, Kirsty; Mortlock, Harriet; Tooth, Ron
Journal of Environmental Education, v54 n1 p20-32 2023
This paper considers how digital technologies contribute to awakening primary-school children's enchantment with local places. We draw upon Bennett and Thoreau to theorize enchantment and adopt "enchantment as method" from Stainova to guide the research process. We analyze the contrasting digital artifacts produced by three children through video-walks in their backyards. In one case, Kay, the digital artifact reveals how her enchantment was produced through the video-walk. Accessing data beyond the video-walk, we show that the other cases, Connor and Leila, had experienced enchantment and this experience evoked ethical concern and moral action. The implications of our analysis of these cases for a pedagogy of enchantment are critically considered.
