Antidoxy is a meditation on knowing, studying, teaching, learning and being against structures of power.

The name speaks against orthodoxy, the disciplinary enforcement of practices of learning and knowing; but it speaks no less urgently against heterodoxy, the resentful construction of practices of knowing that exist only within the spaces vacated, abandoned or rejected by orthodoxy.

Instead we are against doxa altogether, hence "antidoxy," an expansive place for practices of knowing and thinking that never lose sight of their relationship to power. We do not deny the existence, power, or even utility of engagement with doxa both ortho- and hetero-. But we do insist that any such engagement deny the capacity of disciplinary enforcement to pass for clear and honest analysis.

Quietly, "antidoxy" can also be an antidote to the exhaustion of constant defiance and resistance to the requirements of doxa. We speak pseudonymously under the identity razo. We accept Audre Lorde's conclusion that "poetry is not a luxury" but rather an essential part of who we are in this space of opposition.

While resistance requires engagement; but the construction of alternatives to the doxa we are given requires us to remake the world not by changing a variable here and there, but instead through a relentless re-imagining of our circumstances. This effort must be sustained, and antidoxy is a way for us to seek sustenance by creating.
