What Is the Point of Cultural Anthropology? It used to have the indispensable mandate to study the world's cultures and peoples. Now it's ideology and gibberish. quillette.substack.com/p/wha…

This was amazing - a laugh out loud raspberry to gatekeepers no one asked for or needed. I may read this every morning to remind myself the spirit of the university still as a F’ng pulse. 10/10, hot sauce in the bag

Please take note of the following axioms about secularism as a political project introduced by Peter Coviello in his study of the Mormons and maybe consider reading the work of Talal Asad and Gil Anidjar

İlk aklıma gelenler: John Modern Lardas ile Sam Haselby'ın kitaplarına, Gil Anidjar'ın Kan'ına ve bunların kaynakçasındaki ilgili kitaplara bakabilirsiniz.
