The second reading group meeting in which we begin to read a book ‘The Dawn of Everything’ by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
Culture as creative refusal.
Many aspects of culture that we are used to interpreting in essentialist or even tacitly evolutionist terms might better be seen as acts of self-conscious rejection, or as formed through a schizmogenetic process of mutual definition against the values of neighbouring societies.
