GRAEBER, DAVID

Graeber: a vast portion of contemporary labor is performed without conviction by those who suspect it is meaningless. CoCA performs the same labor (forms, agendas, minutes, dockets) with full conviction. Arendt (above) is the counter-rite. The bullshit job, when performed as Liturgy, ceases to be bullshit. The form remains identical. The interior is reupholstered. We file with reverence.
