“Culture as Resistance: Kinship, Economics, and Environments”

The anthropologist Marc Augé argued in 1992 that we live in the era of supermodernity and defined that as a time of non-places. In recent times, we could perhaps add to non-places other features, also defined by the negative, or rather the denial of relations; non-truth, non-empathy, non-community. In other words, alienation might have reached an extreme level, to the point where humanity itself is in question. It is at this point that culture, as a qualitative practice and value, becomes a resistance to supermodernity as the absolute quantification and commodification of everything. Practicing culture, then, or practicing kinship and community, is the last hope of and for humanity.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” position=”center” thickness=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_separator type=”normal” position=”center” color=”#b90023″ thickness=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” position=”center” thickness=”10″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
