| dc.description.abstract | Processes of knowledge production frequently evade formal education spaces, like universities. We should never assume that these spaces genuinely operate towards the production of knowledge, and rather should identify most of them as acting in opposition. In other words, this thesis begins by putting the very foundation of formal education (producing knowledge) into question. ‘Production' implies the formation of something new, something that is created with agency, and something that is different from the idea of reproduction. Reproduction refers to the repetition of a preestablished process. In Marxist theory, social reproduction refers to societal processes, within education and economics for instance, whose intention is the remanifestation of capitalist relationships (Marx 1887). Through critical pedagogy and Afrofuturism, I analyse the pedagogical practices of the RhodesMustFall (RMF) movement and the Medu Art Ensemble. | |
