What becomes of us when sovereignty is the prize, autonomy the moral code,
and AI is a stand-in for critical thinking and a surrogate for reality?
How do we revive culture in a globalized, homogenized, touch-deprived world?
What does village-making look like in a Me First era?
“Rituals are out at the edge of what is likely, what is familiar. They are ill-advised. The ordinary days are more shaken than shaped by them. They are not habituated soothings, utterances of reassurance, making everything right, taking the bored and the bereaved to the emotional mountaintop for a psychic spa day. They are conjuring acts, iffy, nervy, doubtful as to their outcome. Rituals are waltzes with wild things.”
