commented on Imagination by Ruha Benjamin

Ruha Benjamin: Imagination (2025, Norton & Company Limited, W. W.) No rating

Referring to “cultural historian Thomas Berry” (I don’t think I know who that is?) she says there are “four pillars that maintain” the “Old Stories” that use master narratives (Doctrine of Discovery, Manifest Destiny, Survival of the Fittest) to script domination and hierarchy: Religion (aka culture?) Government (aka governance?) Corporations (aka economics?) Universities (aka education?)

Gramsci and hegemony, right?
