Our proposal for the post-work university highlights controversies in relation to water, to discuss the economisation of university education. We recognise that the commodification of water is related to the economisation of education and knowledge production. The standardisation of education to form globally marketable products, bares a similarity with modern day virtual water trade, viewed in this project as power relationships that have outlived colonial empires. The voyagers of exploration in that era coincided with the modern scientific project, and its extractive position on knowledge production. In this way, knowledge could be measured on its material merit, leaving a dissonance between reality and representation. Our aim is to overcome these disciplinary and scientific structures.
We propose – WATERWAYS; a university associated with the physical environment that forms a collective identity. The university studies the relationship between humans and Water, the creators of city and culture, and how it was manifested and modified over time.The university looks more thoughtfully at the custodianship of the land by integrating Indigenous and western knowledge systems. Further, the university, intends to rediscover some of the ritual and the memory impregnated and associated with water and the body. In this way, the universities education looks at the relationship between humans and the invisible world that exceeds logic and is approached only by senses and feelings. The university hybridises marine and climate sciences, with traditional knowledge and bathing rituals, to form a performative archive. In this way, the archive is transformed into a live process of configuration, translated and transferred through oral narration, observation, and sensory appeal. Water in this way, is a material that inspires social relations and political reform.
