ABSTRACT
The chapter focuses on explicitly challenging capital, overcoming capitalism, and cultivating radically democratic forms of politics and collective social life through teaching, creative cultural work and the arts, and participatory political action. Claiming time is also a method for cultivating possibilities of radical experience in networked neoliberal societies of speed, in the frenzied anti-routines of high-stakes activism, in the compressed labour processes of advanced capitalism. The following section examines a range of pedagogical concerns and practices which are used to guide processes of invention, emergence and becoming; to bridge encounters and negotiate discomfort; and to construct community, relations of solidarity and resources for resistance. The concern, in critical theories from Adorno to Habermas, has been that In the projects for radical democratization discussed here, however, it is not 'works of art' but the work of art as Dewey described it that constitutes a practice of possibility.
