The Dossier on the topic of Europe, education, global capitalism and
ideology is part of de-coloniality at large (of which WKO is an outlet) and
the established - as well as of growing - network of decolonial researchers,
scholars, intellectuals, artists and activists, made the publication and
distribution of the Dossier possible.
Marina Grzinic asked a new generation of writers from a European context
coming mostly but not exclusively from the former Yugoslav area and Austria,
as well as from the United States, Latin America, and the second generation
of African Diaspora in Austria, all formed within the (west) European
humanity system, to re-question its foundation and to implicate a process of
straightforward decoloniality, antiracist politics, critique of
anti-Semitism and slavery in the present global world of capitalism on all
its numerous levels (from theory, epistemology, art, social and the
political).
The Dossier has two parts that are not divided but work in a double time
frame. The first part is below; the second is in preparation and will
follow.

Marina GRZINIC
Gržinić proposes to modify the fundamental way of understanding the state of
exception. Why state of exception? It is a major dispositive and device of
govermentality in the neoliberal global capitalist world. It is important to
state that the state of exception is not functioning primarily today, as
Agamben developed it, by inclusion/exclusion, but through repetition.
Repetition introduces the form of a general equivalence of every politics
that would be capable to politicize the overexploited classes and the social
now transformed into a necrosocial.
Part I.

Fortified Knowledge: From Supranational Governance to Translocal Resistance
Lina DOKUZOVIC and Eduard FREUDMANN
Dokuzović and Eduard Freudmann argue that it is important to understand that
the functionality of the center-periphery model as a territorial strategy of
dominance is based on the control and regulation of mobility and migration.
They, therefore, use the term "fortified knowledge centers" to refer to how
this relates to the fortification around the knowledge economy areas, as the
EHEA and EU are congruent with the EU border and migration regime supporting
the necropolitical border defense projects of Frontex, not only accepting
the consequences of drowning boat refugees, but enforcing it.

Learning and Teaching the Hegemonic Language German in the Context of
Migration Rubia SALGADO
Salgado's text takes up threads from other woven texts. Many are from the
subject of German as a second language, particularly those that consider the
power dimension of language. Others from the field of pedagogy, especially
those that chose critical and deconstructivist approaches, which regard
education in the sense of it being part of a process of constructing of
meaning, thereby defining language as action and as a means for conjecturing
a different reality. Other threads come from texts that deal with the
situation of migrants in Western Europe from a post-colonial perspective.

- Art in Cities. Considering Art Biennials while looking at the 11th
International Istanbul Biennial Danila MAYER in co-operation with Muzaffer
Hasaltay and Onur Serdar
In post-war Europe, Western Europe was cut off from the Eastern communist
block. In order to share the West's post-war work load at low costs, people
were recruited from (former) Yugoslavia, and Turkey. This labor emigration
had effects on the Turkish Republic; the results were a changing agriculture
(from subsistence farming to cash-crops) and transforming class structures
in villages and towns. These processes were negotiated among and between
people and family segments along the manifold migration and remigration
experiences which include endless departures, leaving and being left.

The Racist Regime of the (White) EU Schengen Border Regime Ivana MARJANOVIC
Marjanović's text is a critical analysis of the processes that have been
unfolding in Europe since 1989 - processes related to European integration
and the creation of the European Union citizenship, as well as with the
implementation of neoliberal capitalism in Eastern Europe, or the
neocolonial appropriation of Eastern Europe as part of the European
unification project. Within this framework, I would like to consider two
concepts together. The first is the concept of European Apartheid proposed
by French philosopher Étienne Balibar in the 1990s and beginning of 2000s
and the other is the concept of Exception to Neoliberalism proposed in
recent years by the Chinese anthropologist and theoretician Aihwa Ong.
1.3. Europe-politics- ideology

The Transgression Šefik ŠEKI TATLIC
In this article, Tatlić explains how the old racist core of colonial
epistemic has been interlacing pretty well with the new forms of subjugation
to the measure in which the very notion of the division that relates to the
subjugation as a political decision, became subversive in order to preserve
the racist epistemic as a potent tool of rationalization of brutal
disbalance in distribution of material wealth. The division in relation to
subjugation became subversive because it presents, or started to present the
adversarial, contesting, predicament of separation from the violent linkage
of the norm and the law, and of the victim and the perpetrator that would
later uncover itself as the subtext of strategy of contemporary forms of
exploitation.
