Australian Anthropologist Tyson Yankade, founder and head of the native knowledge laboratory ( Indigenous Knowledge Systems La B) at the University of Dikin (Melbourne) - a representative of the Apalech clan, one of the tribal unions of the indigenous population of Australia. In the interesting book “Talking in the sand. As an aboriginal thinking can save the world ” (in July in the publishing house of AD Marginem ), Yankaport reflects on the unsettled contradictions of the global Western worldview and the traditional picture of the world - in particular, to which the Australian Aborigines are still true.

In the head of “lemonade from a headache ”, an excerpt from which we publish with the kind permission of the publishing house, the author of the book explains what “holistic thinking” is on the example of a diet of indigenous people of Australia - or what the white residents of the fifth of the continent are understood by “native cuisine”.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
