The Revolution Will Not Be Theorised

There will be no pictures of you and smiling African children In the village where you did a semester abroad As a global citizen. No cutting-edge electronic journals will be created To recycle the same ethno-centric ideas The revolution will not be PDFed.

There will be no videos of you offering back-handed compliments About how surprisingly well-read the sister from the Caribbean is There will be no videos of you offering back-handed compliments About how surprisingly smart the sister from the Caribbean is There will be no blog post about post modernism vs. post structuralism Or post-humanism or post-anythingism For the isms and schisms would have seen their final day. The revolution will not be digitized

There will be no conference reports And promises to stay in touch via open source electronic platforms No email messages clarifying if Fanon is a dancehall artist No lazy invocations of intersectionality And positionality at the centre of the universe The revolution will not be digitized

The revolution will not take a break for coffee (fair trade, of course) Dirty paper cups left on the table for some Other woman to clean The revolution will not feature a seizure-inducing Prezi No one will complain about the indignity of going from Mac to PC Or mistake themselves for every other living being on the planet The real feminist will not stand up And pat herself or himself or hirself on the back The revolution will remove the mic from your hand and the ground from your feet.

The revolution will not be theorised, the revolution will not be problematised The revolution will not be workshopped, will not be workgrouped The revolution will be no conference, sister, brother, Man.2 The revolution will be…?
