This document contains extracts from Dr. Elizabeth Rasekoala's keynote speech quoting Grada Kilomba discussing the violent hierarchy that defines who can create knowledge. It also discusses concepts like colocation, coproduction, and collaboration. One extract discusses an unexpected benefit of "no man's lands" created during the Cold War leading to large natural habitats. Another discusses a perverse result from a British government program offering rewards for dead cobras in Delhi that ultimately backfired and increased the wild cobra population.

8. This is an extract from Dr Elizabeth Rasekoala’s keynote speech which I was able to attend at Ecsite 2016 in Graz,
she was quoting from Grada Kilomba’s “Decolonizing Knowledge”.
“When they speak it is objective. When we speak it is subjective.
When they speak it is neutral, when we speak it is personal.
When they speak it is rational, logical, when we speak it is emotional.
When they speak they have facts, when we speak we have opinions.
We are not dealing with a peaceful co-existence of words rather a violent hierarchy which
defines who can speak and who can create knowledge. That’s the challenge.”

Unexpected drawback
Perverse result

13. Unexpected benefits
the creation of “no mans lands"
during the Cold War, in places such
as the border between Eastern and
Western Europe, and the Korean
Demilitarised Zone, has led to large
natural habitats

14. Perverse result
The British government, concerned about the
number of venomous cobra snakes in Delhi, offered
a bounty for every dead cobra.
Large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward.
But enterprising people began to breed cobras for
the income.
The government became aware of this so scrapped
the reward program.
The cobra breeders to set the now-worthless
snakes free.
As a result, the wild cobra population further
increased.
