―

This lecture’s aim was to identify the global power dynamics of systems for scholarly writing and publication, to name key dimensions of this power, and recognise their enactment in writing practice: How do we position ourselves in relation to dominant structures and cultures of knowledge production? How do we deal with these in our environments? The speakers consider the context of academic publishing and writing (globally and in your location), identify some of the challenges of writing within and beyond the scientific world system and explore what are the existing ‘resources of hope and possibility’ in writing practice: How can we stay true to, and communicate, the principles of critical theories and methodologies when publishing new ideas in our academic and political contexts? How do we recognise, nourish and expand resources of possibility and hope in our and others’ writing within these environments? Finally, strategies for communicating and publishing our ideas across borders are discussed. How do we communicate new ideas at and across epistemological and geographic borders? How do we practice, defend and create the conditions for the flourishing of plurality in writing?”
