wauw! Als ik een bevestiging nodig had om antropologie te studeren dan was het deze! Zo interessant, toegankelijk en grappig. ik denk dat ik nog vaak ga doordenken op de ideeën die hier aangehaald worden.

If the behemoth that is the Dawn of Everything seems intimidating, have no fear. Start with this handy-dandy condensed and digestible depiction of Graeber’s intellectual and political lodestar, his commitment to anarchist thought as a vital lens through which his anthropological research is derived. Anthropology is a highly static field making leaps and bounds in its shifts from western fundamentalist views to broader sociocultural understandings of the past; and Graeber’s approaches, praxis, and massive breadth of work are a welcome addition.

经过时间的洗礼,曾是集体创造出来的项目都变成身份认同,甚至变得自然而然,他们僵化成不言自明的“真理”。

I enjoyed the excerpts pertaining to the oh so naughty anarchistic views of famous anthropological theorists, but I wish there was a greater focus on how anthropologists as gatherers of information (through ethnographic research) can help society reimagine its existence without the desire of a ruling party or "state". Anthropologists encounter many different societal organizations that flourish, so why not assert such possibilities through the raising of such findings? Not all societies are alike but perhaps some key principles could be adopted into "western" or more "modern" societies.
