At Home He’s a Tourist – Lecture by Brian Kuan Wood

“At home he feels like a tourist, he fills his head with culture, he gives himself an ulcer” (Gang of Four)

Some suggest that the twilight of the globalization era is marked by inward withdrawal. But if I look inward, I may already be the host of rising multipolar orders carving new trade routes, real and imagined belongings, a genocidal occupation, and amalgamations of friend and enemy, self and other.
