Mortal versus Immortal Labor: Artificial Intelligence in the Archive
This paper explores the effects of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on the politics of text, memory, and archive. Generative AI is a simulation of the work of mourning, the form of labor by which people address mortality and the intergenerational responsibilities that it entails. Since generative AI is not mortal, it cannot bear such responsibilities. The absence of mortality, mourning, and responsibility distinguishes the machine-generate…
The colonial governmentality of Cambridge Assessment International Education
This study examines Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) as a global assemblage that instrumentalizes colonial governmentality. CAIE is a department of the University of Cambridge that has governed schools in British colonies and former colonies since the mid-19th century. These schools constitute a Cambridge School system with approximately 1 million students around the world who take Cambridge examinations. CAIE invisibilizes its…
Michel Foucault and the coloniality of power
Contrary to most postcolonial approaches that focus on modernity/coloniality, this article argues for the relevance of heterarchical theories of power. In his lectures at Collège de France, Foucault shifts from a microphysical and corpopolitical analytic of power towards a biopolitical analytic of power. This shift in Foucault's focus is analyzed through Quijano and Wallerstein's theorization of the modern/colonial world system. In doing so, this…
We are helpless, we are not the authority’: Colonial governmentality in a Sri Lankan transnational education institution
This study examines colonial governmentality in a Sri Lankan partner institution of University of London (UOL) through semi-structured interviews with students and faculty. UOL began administrating colonised educational spaces in the 19th century, and now governs approximately 80 partner institutions throughout the global South. Its governmentality structures an arterial topology of power that grants limited inclusion to students while excluding …
The darker side of Fritz Lang's Metropolis: Coloniality in Modernist Cinema
This article situates one of the most influential modernist films, Metropolis (1927), in its relationship to coloniality. The film reflects the Weimar aspiration to recover Germany’s place within modernity by securing the boundaries of the colonial difference. More broadly, it elucidates modernity’s internal narrative in that it mythically envisions a modernity cleansed of coloniality. Considering that modernity is constituted by coloniality, thi…
Border cosmopolitanism in critical peace education
This paper intends to contribute to recent developments in the theory of critical peace education. The role of cosmopolitanism in critical peace education is examined, particularly in relation to universal moral inclusion, secularism and universalism. It is then recommended that critical peace education draw from post-universalist and dialogical approaches to cosmopolitanism. Walter Mignolo’s border cosmopolitanism is suggested as a decolonising …
The First Fifty Years of Relief Society: Key Documents in Latter-day Saint Women's History
Mormon women have remained widely associated with plural marriage since social campaigns of the later 1800s led to antipolygamy legislation and the subsequent curtailing of the practice. When travel writers of the time promulgated tales of Mormon harems filled with gullible wives, the women themselves found their authentic experiences lost on outside observers. When these women campaigned through their own organization, the Relief Society, they a…
Exploring the (Post) Industrial Subculture - Towards a Critical (Post) Anal-ytical Approach to Organizational Analysis
You could maintain incredulity toward metanarratives as much as you liked, but it wouldn't keep your feet on the ground. Not if you were an oilskin. If you were a fleece however, your feet may be on the ground, but your ideas may be in the air. Yet your problem wouldn't be how to resolve your differences - it would be how to recognise them
