Footnotes is a place for trans-temporal exchange. It recalls various practices that have historically activated the place of the margin be it as a form of resistance found in feminist practices of critical pedagogy, the tradition of black radical thought, as an artistic gesture in the 19th century, and as a form of intervention and conversation between different readers as seen in medieval scriptures. The annotation is mostly used to subvert the Learning Platform and the knowledge body that was enlisted there.
It had found a way to bypass the gate-keeping enforced along the borders of the institutionally validated and canonized corpus. Are these places strictly separated? Of course not. There is a rich and mutual knowledge transfer that is entertained from both sides. Anyways, most people are stood with at least one foot inside the institution. This movement had often been called a dance as writers of Footnotes were swaying and tiptoeing to find exposure and still avoid capture.
