I contributed to the merriment with ‘interpretive anthropology,’ an extension of my concern with the systems of meaning, beliefs, values, world views, forms of feeling, styles of thought, in terms of which particular peoples construct their existence.” ![]() “For the next fifteen years or so,” Geertz wrote, “proposals for new directions in anthropological theory and method appeared almost by the month, the one more clamorous than the next. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, anthropology was torn apart by questions about its colonial past and the possibility of objective knowledge in the human sciences. One of Geertz’s best-known essays, “Deep Play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight,” which appeared in his 1973 book, The Interpretation of Cultures, was a wide-ranging interpretation of how the people of Bali saw themselves in relation to violence, social status, morality, and belief (Schudel, 2006). Rather, he studied complex, syncretic societies in Indonesia (Java, Bali, Celebes, Sumatra) and in Morocco. Unlike other anthropological scholars, Geertz did not focus on so-called primitive groups. ![]()

But where, he asks, are the movies showing the end of the market, the end of the profit motive and the end of capitalism? These films are few and far between. ![]() Zizek points to the various apocalyptic movies that show the end of the world in vivid detail: the alien invasions, the zombie outbreaks, the epidemics, wars, famines, and solar flares. It’s a phrase often attributed to the philosophers Slavoj Zizek and Fredric Jameson. This is the opening statement of Mark Fisher’s book, Capitalist Realism. It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some other adult said he heard guns shooting. And while I was sitting there, I heard adults saying that they saw smoke and pointing toward the village that we came from.

Many academics have also underscored the book’s web of misrepresentations, most recently a paper in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders by historians Marga Vicedo and Juan Ilerbaig of the University of Toronto. ![]() As explained in my 2016 review, the book was clearly an ideology-fueled work packed with “abundant and serious flaws,” including its baseless denial of any increase in autism and its characterization of autism as a mere form of neurodiversity, a “strange gift” caused by nothing more than age-old genetic variants. ![]() When Steve Silberman’s grandiose fabrication of the history of autism, NeuroTribes, was published in 2015 I was stunned that anyone would take the book seriously. ![]() ![]() “ exceptional debut novel, a well-written, fast-moving, action-packed fantasy.sure to be a solid hit with young fantasy fans.” ( Booklist)īook two left off with Gregor reading the Prophecy of Blood: a prophecy that calls for Gregor and Boots to return to the Underland to help ward off a deadly plague.

Inspired by Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Frank Miller, Chrissie Pappas, Charles Bukowski, Stephen King, Issac Asimov, and countless classic literary influences, Dennis continues with the ability to write what at a glance might seem absurd, but quickly begins to resonate with our own thoughts and emotions. The voices in his head don't ever stop talking to him, and so sooner or later he has to get out onto a page all that they've filled him up with. He has spent many late nights at diners and dives, drinking coffee with a tattered notebook to put a voice to his feelings of himself and the world around him, and other worlds that can exist only in fiction. ![]() ![]() His mother has told many people about the fantasy and science fiction stories he'd write on scraps of paper, and staple together as his 'books', before he'd attended his first day of formal education.
