ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on grounded community wise, naturally/communally, in rapoko and unhu here, emerging sanctuary wise, culturally and spiritually, through ngoma lungundi, navigating academy wise through "Mode 2" Da Vinci Institute and effecting laboratory wise – another world is possible. It explores the prior "southern" relational and "eastern" renewal paths and also introduces the inter-institutional genealogy. Such an inter-institutional "genealogy", both builds, functionally, on the seminal work of French post-modern philosopher, Michel Foucault, and also structurally on our own internal "GENE-alogy". The Ngoma Lungundu provided, Chinyika and its neighbouring rural communities with a challenge to revisit their history, religion and intellectual values for the purpose of creating an integrated local and global community. The point of departure in our Zimbabwean case, for the laboratory, within or alongside a community, sanctuary and university, is conventional science, either agriculturally or industrially based. Chinyika agriculture, for example, via both so-called agricultural extension officers and mobile communications, took pride of place in that respect.
