THIS VOLUME STAGES A SERIES OF RADICAL PROVOCATIONS THAT SEEK TO
REORIENT THE VERY CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH LEARNING BECOMES THINKABLE.
REFUSING THE REDEMPTIVE PULL OF SCHOOLING AS A SALVAGEABLE PUBLIC
GOOD, THE COLLECTION FOREGROUNDS THE NECESSITY OF UNDISCIPLINING
EDUCATION, DISLODGING IT FROM ITS COLONIAL GRAMMARS, DISCIPLINARY
ENCLOSURES, AND ANTHROPOCENTRIC IMAGINARIES.
Schools, far from neutral spaces of knowledge transmission, are
infrastructural technologies of late capitalist governance:
disciplining bodies, managing time, and sustaining the ongoing
occupation of Indigenous lands under the guise of progress and order.
Drawing from grotesque materialisms, Indigenous epistemologies, and
speculative philosophies, the volume positions pluriversal
indeterminacy as a generative ontological condition, contesting the
closure-driven logics of Western educational taxonomy. If schools
operate as entropy-displacement machines, maintaining systemic
stability through the externalization of collapse, then what is
required is not critique alone, but a methodological insurgency
capable of abolishing education's epistemic foundations. To this end,
contributors-traversing anthropology, architecture, mathematics,
biology, Indigenous studies, art, philosophy, and
literature-articulate a constellation of non-disciplined pedagogical
experiments that emerge from the current unraveling of education
itself. Through deliberate acts of epistemic undoing, authors inhabit
a space where fixed categories, such as human/nonhuman, past/future,
knowledge/ignorance are rendered inoperative, making room for learning
that reconfigures the possible.
