ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book aims to explore their important project exploring more widely the pluriverse in the Postdevelopment Dictionary. It discusses the earlier work of Yoshirou Tamanoi on regionalism as a form of postdevelopmental critique developed in Japan, which in turn informed diverse environmental and regional projects. The book shows how what came to be known as postdevelopment had also been informed by other strands of sociological critique and ecological thinking about economy. It presents a careful study of the difficulties and limitations encountered by art projects and interventions seeking to value Southern knowledges and to highlight the struggles of refugees in Europe. The rebel listener is just as much about scaling down and focusing in to censor and silence racism, as much as amplifying out – in order to remind, to project and to interrupt.
