ABSTRACT
The discussion of Section i focused principally upon the contextual conditions within which methodologies to research violence, democracy and people’s rights are constructed in order to contribute to the creation of the conditions for the emergence of a public in which none are excluded. The discussion in Section ii now focuses more upon the intricacies of contestation where boundaries are challenged, Power(s) resist and categories become ‘shifty’, that is, where Power is unhinged and individuals exercise their powers to redefine, transform and create the conditions for alternative social forms. In the gaps that open up, what are the methodological possibilities for the emergence of alternative ‘spheres of justice’ and thus of a new model of education and democratic practice? How may research methodology be employed to open up the spaces of questioning and critique?
