No — this is not about one more journal. It’s a question about how journals could be otherwise, how it can decolonise its own platform. Journals don’t have to be extractive, exhausting, or soul-haunting. We are tired of critiquing existing problems, so we want to explore new arrangements! Journal of Southern Theorising (JoST) Over the past four years of working together through STingG in UK and SEED in Australia — across borders, time zones, and the limits of Northern infrastructures — one thing has become clear: every time we try to build “from elsewhere,” we still get routed through the same centres of epistemic power, same rules of reviewers, same unpaid labour, same citational politics. We talk South, but we publish North. We speak of justice, yet feed systems that quietly reproduce injustice. So here’s a different proposition: What if we stop asking for permission? What if a journal didn’t behave like a journal at all? JoST is imagined as a living room, a commons, a pool — a place for slow conversation, messy drafts, unfinished thoughts. A place without judgement that merits inquiry and help each other towards beneficial knowledge, of genuine allyship. A space where knowledge can breathe. Not oppositional, but gently defiant. A soft jostle. Peer review as correspondence, mentorship, guidance. Publishing as hosting, as redistribution of power and resources. Issues that could be text, audio, field notes, images, multiple languages — or all at once. Warmth instead of gatekeeping. Care instead of extraction. We’re now gathering to make this real. A quiet rebellion in the shape of a “journal”, but not a journal, if you get my drift — a collective experiment. Stay tuned. We’ll be opening up many ways to join, co-create, and shape this experiment in the months ahead. This won’t start with a call for papers, but a call for presence. The conversation will start soon! Hope to see you there.

I am deeply proud that Chennai continues to create spaces like Porombokkiyal 2025 that honour the wisdom, labour, and artistry of communities that have been pushed to the margins. From the palm climbers who scale trees for our sustenance, to the women who toil by the sea, from Irula gatherers who carry ancient knowledge, to the mridangam makers who give rhythm to our culture, and the children whose voices carry our future — this festival celebrates them all. As someone who has always believed that culture belongs to the commons and knowledge is not the privilege of the few, I see this as a vital act of reclaiming and restoring dignity. I warmly encourage everyone in Chennai to attend, listen, and learn from these extraordinary voices. @tmkrishna @NityJayaraman #Porombokkiyal2025 #ChennaiKalaithiruvizha #Commons #MarginalisedVoices #TamilHeritage #CommunityKnowledge #NammaChennai #SouthChennai #ThamizhachiThangapandian

Session 2 | Whatte Karuvaadu: Women, Labour and the Sea From Urur Olcott Kuppam come two remarkable fisherwomen — V Thangamani, with 30 years of experience in fishing, vending and drying fish into karuvaadu, and S Saratha, who has spent over 25 years perfecting preservation techniques passed down through generations. Their work is rooted in the rhythms of the sea and the commons that sustain life on the coast. Together, they embody the resilience, artistry and quiet power of women whose labour anchors the fisheries economy. Join us to listen, learn, and stand with the voices of the sea. 🗓 28 Sept 2025 | 11:30 AM 📍 The Learning Community, Besant Nagar #Porombokkiyal #ChennaiKalaiTheruvizha #Commons #Fisherwomen #Karuvaadu #CommunityKnowledge @NityJayaraman @cktv13

Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha presents the 3rd edition of Porombokkiyal 2025 What do palmyra climbers, women of the sea, Irula gatherers, mridangam makers — and a group of children on stage — have in common? They all carry the stories, knowledge and artistry of our commons. Porombokkiyal is not a seminar of experts in suits. It is a celebration of people who live, breathe and shape the worlds of land and water. A space where cultivators, fishers, artisans and thinkers sit side by side, sharing wisdom and memory, craft and ritual. On this day, conversations, performances and play come alive: the tree of plenty, the salt of the sea, the sacredness of poromboke, the rhythm of leather — and a children’s theatre that reminds us of rivers and community. 🗓 Sunday, 28 September 2025 🕙 10 AM – 7 PM 📍 The Learning Community at Quest, Besant Nagar Come spend a day immersed in voices that hold our shared futures. All are welcome. #Porombokkiyal #ChennaiKalaiTheruvizha #Commons #CommunityKnowledge #ChennaiEvents #ArtsAndSciences @cktv13 @NityJayaraman
