Epistemic Imaginaries – Learning as Festivity

Epistemic Imaginaries brings attention to creative educational initiatives and how alternative learning situations work at reinventing community and related knowledge practices.

Central to the publication is emphasizing such initiatives as grounded in festivity, appreciating how they support and celebrate new ways of being together. From feasting on ideas to hosting dissident knowledges, from blending individual and collective work, along with discursive and somatic methods, to growing sustainable knowledge environments and enacting care practices, alternative learning situations are underscored as vital interventions that equate learning with joy, affection and communal flourishing.
Comprised of essays, reflections, conversations and documentation from a range of international contributors and contexts, Epistemic Imaginaries is a celebration of the critical, experimental ethos central to doing-knowledge.
