As an academic with a chronic illness, it has taken me a while to understand shame’s impact on my academic identity and choices. In this article, through a process of narrative recuperation, I consider the challenges and contradictions of living as an academic with chronic kidney disease, an incurable and often debilitating illness that, for the most part, is invisible to others. By means of evocative autoethnography, I trace the trajectory of silencing shame I experienced around my condition in academia and I show how and why this changed over a number of years. My aim in doing this is to uncover subjugated knowledge of what it takes to live as a chronically ill academic and to be an advocate for other academics living with chronic illness. I theorise my study using Garland-Thomson, Shildrick and Leder, all of whom have worked with the othering effect of shame on the nonconforming body. These theorists have described ways of resisting shame and, partly thanks to them, I was able to find ways of fighting back and recovering. My intention in sharing these illness narratives is to speak back to a dominant discourse that favours invulnerability and a masculinised, disembodied way of being academic.

Using the film the Wizard of Oz, an illustrative comparison is made between the Scarecrow's learning experiences and our own. Like we often do, the Scarecrow reduces his potential learning and thinking abilities to nothing more than the formal operations presumably at work in the brain. Ostensibly lacking this brain, the Scarecrow solves nearly all the problems encountered in the journey to Oz. A neurophenomenological description of the Scarecrow's experiences reveals his prereflective, situated learning, and embodied cognition. These ways of learning are often ignored and devalued in our educational system. Can this same method reveal our own subjugated knowledges? Herein, neurophenomenology is demonstrated as a critical pedagogy that critiques and liberates subjugated knowledge and supports a richer assessment of human learning and thinking.

La exploración de este artículo gira en torno a las cuestiones ¿Por qué la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe es un proyecto político y epistémico? Dicho de otra manera ¿Qué implica considerar la EIB como un proyecto político y epistémico? ¿En qué ha contribuido el surgimiento de la EIB, para desarrollar lo que podríamos llamar, la insurrección de los saberes sometidos? El análisis a estas cuestiones se vehiculiza en la lógica  de ambigüedades, campo de lucha, contradicciones entre la estructura y el agente, y entre los agentes interculturales. A priori, se contextualiza la emergencia de la Dirección Nacional de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (DINEIB) tejiendo a los procesos organizativos y la movilización del movimiento indígena ecuatoriano, tangencialmente en relación con  los de Bolivia y México.   Palabras clave: Movimiento indígena, Educación Intercultural Bilingüe, epistemología, ambigüedades, contradicciones, Estado.   ABSTRACT This article answers the following questions:  Why IBE is a political and epistemic project?  What does IBE consider as an epistemic and political project? Which is the contribution of the IBE, to develop what might be called the insurrection of subjugated knowledge? The analysis of these issues conveys in ambiguity logic, battlefield, contradictions between structure and agent, and between intercultural agents. A priori, tangentially contextualizes the emergence in DINEIB weaving the organizational processes and the activation of the Ecuadorian indigenous movement with relation to those of Bolivia and Mexico.   Keywords:  Indigenous movement, Intercultural Bilingual Education, epistemology, ambiguities, contradictions, State.   !El presente trabajo es parte del proyecto de investigación aún en proceso: “La interculturalidad en el modelo educativo de la educación general básica en el cantón Riobamba”, que estoy adelantando en conjunto con Elena Tello, Patricia Bravo y un grupo de estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo en calidad de asistentes de investigación. Mi ejercicio de docencia en las escuelas y colegios de la educación intercultural bilingüe por más de quince años y  activismo en las organizaciones indígenas hace que este trabajo sea fruto de una experiencia no desde fuera de la cultura sino desde dentro. No pretendo sobredimensionar esta ventaja etnográfica. Recibido 12/04/2014Aprobado 5/05/2014

Mao’s most famous statement about postcolonial struggle came in response to the Congo Crisis of the 1960s, yet China’s understanding of and involvement in that conflict has been largely ignored. Based on briefly declassified archival sources and long-forgotten cultural works, this essay examines the significance of China’s engagement in the heart of Africa. A close reading of the spoken-word drama War Drums on the Equator (1965) reveals the importance of mobilizing “subjugated knowledge” in asymmetrical conflict.
