I'm curious why you posted it? I think Dirlik is a very interesting thinker. His critique of post-colonial theory is probably the best out there, and (alothough post-colonial theory is rarely talked about on this list) related to the subject of this list. He is very suspicious, for example, of post-colonial critics' claims that World Systems Theory or Marxism is essentialist. He points out how this completely misses the point of relational understandings of capitalism. Interesting guy. Curious about your (and other's) interest in this interview and Dirlik himself. best, sasha ====------------- Anarchist Discussion Board -- Also for response to KKA, WD and Aporia: http://pub47.ezboard.com/banarchykka The Killing King Abacus Page: http://www.geocities.com/kk_abacus __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
