Middle Earth Metal 230322

Darcia Narvaez and Four Arrows join me to discuss their recently published book ‘Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth,’ a work that contains "selected speeches from Indigenous leaders around the world—necessary wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a path away from extinction toward a sustainable, interconnected future."

As I comment in the beginning of this discussion, reading this book has been a necessary balm to the various subjects I've explored on the podcast of late. This work has reminded me that our civilization's capacity for mass violence, systemic oppression, exploitation, and the destruction of life-systems of the earth is not representative of human nature, nor the human condition, as a whole. The dominant worldview that pervades all facets of modern, industrial human life is the outcome of centuries, if not millennia, of bad habits and intergenerational trauma. The kinship worldview, highlighted in this book and in this interview, has been a defining feature of indigenous cultures the world over, for "ninety-nine percent of human history," as Professor Narvaez states in her work. The question of how to return to this way of knowing and being, and how to apply it in light of the most pressing crises dominating our time, is of utmost importance.

Darcia Narvaez, Ph.D is Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame. She focuses on moral development and flourishing from an interdisciplinary perspective, and is  especially interested in how early life experience and societal culture interact to influence wellbeing and virtuous character in children and adults. Her current research explores how early life experience influences societal culture, wellbeing and sociomoral character in children and adults. She integrates neurobiological, clinical, developmental and education sciences in her theories and research about human nature and human development. She publishes extensively on moral development, parenting and education.

Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows), aka Donald Trent Jacobs, Ph.D., Ed.D, was born in Missouri in 1946. He is Irish, Tsalagi and a made relative of the Oglala Lakota Medicine Horse Tiospaye.  Before his current position as professor at Fielding Graduate University, he served as Director of Education at Oglala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Reservation where he fulfilled his Sun Dance Vows. With doctoral degrees in Health Psychology and in Curriculum and Instruction (with a cognate in Indigenous worldview), he has authored twenty acclaimed books and numerous invited chapters and articles.

#323 | Kinship Worldview w/ Darcia Narvaez & Four Arrows

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on November 21st 2022. We are re-releasing it today, alongside a new transcript of the conversation, because in the past few weeks we have found Jasbir’s work tremendously useful in understanding the enormity of what’s happening in Gaza.

Episode description: Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility, colonial constructions of who is labeled a "terrorist," and some of the most important insights from Jasbir's 2017 book The Right to Maim.

"I would tell your grandma it sounds like apple pie injected with gasoline," says producer Lord RAJA of his RAJA RADIO Sacred Space mix. The collection is released on the back of his remarkable debut album A Constant Moth, a dense 12 tracks of jerky breakbeats and heady aesthetics that range from glitch to footwork to house, released last month on Ghostly International. As his sound pulls you into stratospheric soundscapes and beyond it's clear from both the mix and the album that you're listening to someone operating totally outside of convention.
