Errant journal Issue 10 Refusal on being ungovernable

The tenth issue of Errant Journal looks into the decolonial practice of refusal. By being the absence of an action, refusal foregoes the binary relation or reactionism that is implicit in much of our resistances. A refusal is not against something per se but is rather aimed at opening up space for another way that may yet have to be imagined. More than an act of withdrawal or disengagement, refusal is generative of change and the creation of true alternatives to the status quo. Continuing from its own practice of refusal throughout the first nine issues of the journal, this issue explores a wide variety of ways and contexts in which refusal is practiced and looks into what subjects, histories, and politics these refusals produce. From refusing measurement and categorizations, to fugitivity, illegibility, (hunger) strikes, laziness, trespassing, and moratoria, this issue asks what is made possible when people no longer participate and instead become ungovernable.
