  • Description: I have titled this lecture Thinking Academic Freedom, because I would like to make thinking in the Arendtian sense the axis along which to organise this exposition. It was interesting for me that when I sent the title of the lecture I was asked whether I meant thinking or rethinking. It is true that we tend to rethink, revisit and review in the titles of our lectures and papers. This usually means that the accent is not so much on the act of thinking but on the object we are trying to examine. For this occasion, I would like to make the act of thinking itself as important an aspect of the lecture as the issue of academic freedom itself. What interests me is to explore the nature of our work as academics and how this relates to the notion of academic freedom. So, this is my proposed itinerary: I will first stop to flag some of the issues we all know about, current debates on academic freedom which inevitably constitute one layer of the background for these reflections; then I would like to explore with the lens of Hannah Arendt's political thinking the meaning of freedom and thinking in relation to the life of academics. I will then complicate matters further by jumping from Arendt to Pierre Bourdieu's Homo Academicus, after which I hope to land in the not too comfortable terrain of a call to action.

The new moral order and racism in South Africa post 11 September 2001

  • Description: In this paper we argue that globalisation imposes on ‘developing’ countries more than an economic order; they find themselves with the moral imperative to align themselves with the West against its Others, increasingly portrayed as Islamic fundamentalists. The 11 September terror attacks in the United States of America have pushed this process to a new level, with the attacks represented as no less than a barbaric attack on ‘civilisation’. Through an analysis of a newspaper article reporting on the disciplining of a Muslim woman in for wearing an Osama Bin Laden t-shirt to work in South Africa, we indicate how this moral representation of the 11 September events and the Islamic Other have unique local effects. In South Africa it creates yet more possibilities for racialising practices to continue without being framed in explicitly racial terms. We further reflect on the implications of these events, and the complex interplay of the global and the local they demonstrate, for critical psychology in South Africa.
