Story 1

Story 2

This is an extract from Dr Elizabeth Rasekoala’s keynote speech which I was able to attend at Ecsite 2016 in Graz,

she was quoting from Grada Kilomba’s “Decolonizing Knowledge”.

“When they speak it is objective. When we speak it is subjective.

When they speak it is neutral, when we speak it is personal.

When they speak it is rational, logical, when we speak it is emotional.

When they speak they have facts, when we speak we have opinions.

We are not dealing with a peaceful co-existence of words rather a violent hierarchy which

defines who can speak and who can create knowledge. That’s the challenge.”

Unexpected benefits

the creation of “no mans lands" during the Cold War, in places such as the border between Eastern and Western Europe, and the Korean Demilitarised Zone, has led to large natural habitats

Perverse result

The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobra snakes in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra.

Large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward.But enterprising people began to breed cobras for the income.

The government became aware of this so scrapped the reward program.

The cobra breeders to set the now-worthless snakes free.

As a result, the wild cobra population further increased.
