Please join us for an afternoon of conversation with the distinguished
anthropologist David Graeber of Yale University. Graeber is
internationally known as a cutting edge theorist and public
intellectual. His publications span theories of value, the
anti-globalization direct action movement, political culture in
Madagascar, and re-thinking anthropology as anarchism. In addition to his
academic writings, Graeber has published essays in journals such as
<i>Harper’s</i> and the <i>Nation</i>. He has delivered numerous
prestigious lectures, including the 2006 Malinowski Lecture at the London
School of Economics. His work has been translated into many
languages, and he continues to participate in debates about the
international direct action movement. At Harvard, Graeber will
discuss his recent work, including his essay “On the Phenomenology of
Giant Puppets: Broken Windows, Imaginary Jars of Urine, and the
Cosmological Role of the Police in American Culture,” which will
available for circulation on request. <br>
