The Telling, Colonialism and the Center
Manage episode 267872477 series 2762828
We discuss one of science fiction's titans: Ursula K. Le Guin, in one of her slightly less read books: The Telling, offering a radical perspective on religion, colonialism and reason. Some themes:
- Center-based vs. non-center-based epistemology
- Decolonialism
- Non-ideal anthropology
- Multiple views on religion
- Ways of life as resistance
Audio on my (Yanai's) side is a bit rough due to a recording issue, sorry about that!
For more information on Decolonialism I would, from my limited experience, recommend Serene Khader's "Decolonizing Universalism" and Vrinda Dalmiya's "Caring to Know" (tangentially related)
