Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse?
From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names.

"Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.

🦋 In this soothing #podcast episode, #PostGrowth Fellow, Wangũi wa Kamonji, explores the journey from coloniality to regeneration, drawing on Afrikan Indigenous knowledge, Earth wisdom, and ancestral guidance.

She introduces us to the "four roots” framework of healing, inviting us to embody the #pluriverse — “a world where many worlds fit.”

> the “abstract reasoning” account of knowledge leaves out of the picture a hugely important feature of knowledge production that design thinking does not: the fact that creation is always emergent, in the two registers of emergence: self-organized and other-organized, the latter qualifier meaning that the scholar/designer also lays down elements and makes decisions that enable the self-organizing dynamic to take off and to its thing

Spotify for PodcastersSérgio Sauer - How have land struggles shaped social conflicts and extractivism in Brazil? by EXALT PodcastThis month we are excited to present an in-depth conversation with Professor Sérgio Sauer, who works at University of Brasilia in Brazil and is a visiting scholar at University of Helsinki in Finland. We explored the landscape of land struggles in Brazil and how extractivism and social conflict has shaped Brazil. He started his career on the ground at an agricultural frontier and has worked extensively with the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement (MST) and questions of justice for rural inhabitants. Sérgio gives us a historically informed view of how Brazil’s agricultural geography has developed over the last 60 years. In addition, he traces out the interplay of scholarship and activism and how this plays out in resistance to extractivism. You can also find Sérgio on Twitter @SergioSauerUnB, and please also check out the Observatório Matopiba. Sérgio recommends that if you are interested in the themes discussed in this episode to check out the film “The Burning Season”, which tell a story of real-life activist Chico Mendes, who was murdered in the 80s for his work.

'What is undeveloped in our western conscience is the idea of plural history, the idea of a non-homogenous modernity, irregular, non-linear. In short, history is much more complicated than we would like it to be, and modernity much more heterogeneous. The questione meridionale is a typical example of the complex nature of history.'

An overdue #introduction 👋 (thanks for the prompt when I switched instances @aussocialadmin )

My name is Scott and I live in Sydney (on Wangal Country in the Inner West). My pronouns are he / him.

I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta, even), and have lived in some great places around the world (Montreal, NYC, Vermont, rural Kenya). Being a Canadian man of a certain age, yes, I play hockey. Even in Australia.

I've been very (not extremely) online since the 90s. First it was rec.music.phish, then fark.com, then the Big Tech Socials.

I strive to behave with compassion and to be more kind than nice. But I also shitpost from time to time because internet.

I'm interested in lots of things and barely maintain a blurred boundary between personal and professional. See hashtags below or on my profile for a more specific list, but I think it's generally encompassed by the concept of #interbeing which I understand as being coined by Thich Nhat Hanh and drawn from Vietnamese and older Buddhist concepts.
