Product Description

David Graeber was not only one of today’s most important living thinkers, but also one of the most influential. He was also one of the very few engaged intellectuals who has a proven track record of effective militancy on a world scale, and his impact on the international left cannot be overstated. Graeber has offered up perhaps the most credible path for exiting capitalism—as much through his writing about debt, bureaucracy, or “bullshit jobs” as through his crucial involvement in the Occupy Wall Street movement, which led to his more-or-less involuntary exile from the American academy. In short, Anarchy—In a Manner of Speaking presents a series of interviews with a first-rate intellectual, a veritable modern hero on the order of Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Linus Torvald, Aaron Swartz, and Elon Musk. Interviewers Mehdi Belhaj Kacem and Assia Turquier-Zauberman asked Graeber not only about the history of anarchy, but also about its contemporary relevance and future. Their conversation also explores the ties between anthropology and anarchism, and the traces of its DNA in the Occupy Wall Street and Yellow Vest movements. Finally, Graeber discussed the meaning of anarchist ethics—not only in the political realm, but also in terms of art, love, sexuality, and more. With astonishing humor, verve, and erudition, this book redefines the contours of what could be (in the words of Peter Kropotkin) “anarchist morality” today.

§16§§David Graeber's influential thinking was always at odds with the liberal and left-wing mainstream. Drawing on his huge theoretical and practical experience as an ethnologist and anthropologist, activist and anarchist, Graeber and his interlocutors develop a ramified genealogy of anarchist thought and possible perspectives for 21st-century politics.§§ §§Diverging from the familiar lines of historical anarchism, and against the background of movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the Gilets jaunes, the aim is to provide new political impulses that go beyond the usual schemata of unavoidableness. The spontaneous and swift-moving polylogue shows Graeber as a spirited, unorthodox thinker and radical activist for whom the group can always achieve more than the individual.§ §04§7 - 11 Foreword: A dialogue that doesn't cover up its traces (David Graeber)12 - 27 Introduction to anarchy-all the things it is not (David Graeber)27 - 34 Reins on the imagination-the illusion of impossibility (David Graeber)34 - 38 Revolutions in common sense (David Graeber)38 - 44 Feminist ethics in anarchy-working with incommensurable perspectives (David Graeber)45 - 49 The three characteristics of statehood and their independence (two for us, one for the cosmos) (David Graeber)49 - 52 America 1-not a democracy, never meant to be (David Graeber)53 - 65 America 2-the indigenous critique 〓04§8 Freedom 3-friendship, play and quantification (David Graeber)98 - 104 Freedom 4-critical realism, emergent levels of freedom (David Graeber)105 - 111 Freedom 5-negotiating the rules of the game (David Graeber)112 - 120 Play fascism (David Graeber)120 - 131 Leave, disobey, reshuffle (David Graeber)131 - 139 Great man theory and historical necessity (David Graeber)139 - 148 Theories of desire (David Graeber)148 - 150 Graeber reads MBK and proposes a three-way dialectic that ends in care (David Graeber)150 - 156 Art and atrocity (David Graeber)157 - 161 Vampires, cults, hippies (David Graeber)161 - 169 Utopia (David Graeber)169 - 184 Rules of engagement (David Graeber)185 - 186 Dual sovereignty (David Graeber)187 - 191 Against the politics of opinion (David Graeber)191 - 197 The world upside down (and the mind always upward) (David Graeber)197 - 204 God as transgression and anarchy as God (David Graeber) §02§Graeber, DavidDavid Graeber (1961-2020) war Ethnologe, Anarchist, politischer Aktivist, Autor zahlreicher Bücher und Vordenker der Occupy-Bewegung.
