This is a book about world‑making and world‑rewriting. It shows how experience can become stronger than the past, how new rhythms overwrite old architectures, and how the field that shaped you can become the field you learn to shape in return. #Episkevology #RelationalField #WorldMaking #Protyus

🦋 On queer #worldmaking in an era of never-ending wars & struggle for #democracy

☮️ Queer theory can broaden politics and #critical #systems thinking

Storytelling or storyselling?

Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse?
From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names.

"Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.
