Possibilities: Essays on Hierarchy, Rebellion, and Desire
Description
This collection brings together twelve wide-ranging essays examining how hierarchy, power, and human desire shape social life—and how people imagine and enact resistance. Moving from the origins of capitalism and the history of European table manners to gender, love potions, and the political theater of giant puppets at street protests, it connects seemingly disparate subjects through a shared inquiry into freedom and domination. Drawing on anthropology, history, and political theory, the author combines intellectual rigor with an imaginative, accessible style to consider not only how systems of power endure, but also the possibilities for transforming them.
