Towards a response-able pedagogy across higher education institutions in post-apartheid South Africa: an ethico-political analysis

Abstract: Internationally there has been some interest in how critical pedagogies might be enabled in higher education to support transformative social agendas. Few writers, however, have theorised the ethico-political aspects of this effort from a feminist new materialist perspective. By focusing on the analysis of an inter-institutional collaborative course which was constructed across three disciplines and two differently positioned universities in Cape Town, South Africa, this paper examines the design of the course… Show more

“…In the last decade, attentiveness and attention have been increasingly foregrounded as crucial moral elements by theorists who subscribe to relational ontologies in various fields (see for example Barad 2007;Despret 2015;Haraway 2016;Rose 2013). The contribution of attention and attentiveness to scholarly and pedagogical practices have also been highlighted in higher education (see for example Boulous Walker 2016;Bozalek 2017;Bozalek and Zembylas 2017;Lenz Taguchi 2012). This article builds on this growing interest in attentiveness and attention in practices and policies of higher education.…”

“…A step further, these very sites themselves are interrogated as socio-cultural or discursive constructions; as sites of social, cultural or discursive contestations and marginalisation (Kostogriz and Peeler 2007). This includes contestations regarding identities, roles, authorisation, hierarchies, knowledge and representation (Bozalek and Zembylas 2017). For example, the ongoing interrogation of the South African higher education curricula and sites of learning illustrates how the assumption of a fixed, universal or a priori template of pedagogic space is being challenged.…”

“…In addition, because anarchives are research-creation events that bring forth new iterations (SenseLab, n.d.), it was always impossible to predict what forms our (an)archives would take and what they might do. However, we want to propose that these facets of unknowability and unpredictability were not lapses in our responseable obligations (Bozalek & Zembylas, 2017); rather, they invoked "conditions of ethical responsibility" (Koro-Ljungberg, 2010, p. 609). In fact, it was during the frequent moments of confusion, friction and strain (Springgay & Truman, 2017, p. 203) that we would remind and reground ourselves in the "(in)tensions" (Springgay & Truman, 2017, p. 203) that both animated and underpinned our research: anti-racist and feminist ethics and practices (Truman & Springgay, 2019).…”

“…As such, we continuously sought to think about ways "to stimulate transformation and promote elimination of oppression and injustice" (Koro-Ljungberg, 2012, p. 84) and we frequently questioned and wrestled with notions of power, authority, and agency. Such re-questioning nudged us towards a more acute attentiveness to how bodies/matter/forces were connecting (or not) (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987), and augmented our capacity to respond to the morphing complexities generated by the anarchives (Anderson, 2018;Bozalek & Zembylas, 2017). As always, we took comfort in Haraway's (2016) assertion that there is never an innocent starting point-that we are all always and already implicated in our entanglements with everything-and so we strived to "stay with the trouble".…”
