Non-State Societies and Deleuze and Guattari: A Discussion of 'Edges of the State'

On this episode, Craig and Will are joined by John Protevi to
discuss his latest book, Edges of the State. Protevi challenges
dominant notions in anthropological research and other human
sciences with anarchic perspective informed by theorists such as
Pierre Clastres, Gilles Deleuze, James C. Scott, and others.
Central to our discussion is the question of how our historical
understanding of human sociality and the manifestation of the
state could be altered if we decentered the concept of primordial
hostility. What if we approached these discussions with a
framework of prosocial behavior? However, there is something for
everyone here. This discussion covers ground ranging from Deleuze
and Guattari’s concept of ideology to contemporary discourses on
neuroscience. So, relax, or grab a notebook, and join us!
