Remembering the App/aritions of a Traumatic Past: Forgetfulness, Mobile Applications, and the Contestation of Colonial Logics

• In Event: Roundtable Session 6
  In Roundtable Session: Critical Transcultural Perspectives on Digital Media

Abstract

We seek to understand the implications mobile applications might have in terms of power, policy, and practice in the classroom. Through our multimedia presentation, we respond to these (neo)colonial formulations by examining the pedagogical forgetfulness (more below) that structures our lived curricula in the posthuman world. We endeavour to examine how this pedagogical forgetfulness complicates and determines the digital-colonial milieu within which we now live, work, and experience life and how we might respond as posthuman educators and curriculum theorists.
