Środowisko akademickie musi odświeżyć ucieleśnioną i niewygodną wiedzę
Academia Must Recentre Embodied and Uncomfortable Knowledge

Summary/Abstract: Does academia have space for the embodied knowledge of war overlooked by mainstream Western narratives? There is not much space for live experiences of war in academia outside texts and research analysis. A body that lives through a war is an uncomfortable body. If we want academia to remain relevant to the beating heart of life, and maybe even to react to the challenges of contemporary world, then today – more than ever – we need to learn from our tired, sleep-deprived, worried, and nauseous bodies. Following decolonial, feminist, and other critical scholars we need to recentre embodied and uncomfortable knowledge – knowledge as a burden, knowledge as an injury, and knowledge as emancipation.
