Listen "David Graeber: Creative Refusal"
Episode Synopsis
Google LM generated: David Graeber explores the concept of "culture as creative refusal," arguing that many cultural forms arise not organically but as conscious rejections of other cultures' values. The essay proposes that understanding history requires recognising these acts of cultural rejection and their ongoing influence. The author ultimately suggests that the seemingly disparate elements of Malagasy culture are better understood as a unified, defiant response to external powers.
