In this super-short episode, we share two quotes by David Graeber, which are mentioned and discussed in the collection of essays “The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World…”, edited by Nika Dubrovsky and published in 2024 (among other places where the quotes have previously been published). As an anthropologist and activist for social justice, David Graeber focused his work chiefly on human relations and their myriad facets, and the fact that these relations are much more flexible than they are made to seem in today’s largely globalized and interconnected social world. We briefly share the quotes and how they have inspired us to also feel the enormous potential this can hold for embracing and acknowledging the myriad positive ways human to human as well as human to more-than-human relationships could look and evolve.
Finally, we announce our next episode, to be published on 3 February 2025, on Questioning Imaginaries of Change, with Olivia Bina.
We look forward to a new year full of insightful conversations, and hope that you as listeners will join us on the way. Do send us your recommendations for speakers or themes you would be interested in!
