Universities as Sites of Epistemic Warfare: The Case of USK, CENA and Kimbanguist Pedagogy

Résumé

Contrary to the polite fiction that universities are neutral spaces of "free inquiry", this article argues that they are primary theatres of epistemic warfare. Using the case of Université Simon Kimbangu (USK) and CENA as a focal point, I examine how curricula, language policies and publication standards either reinforce or subvert the imperial order.
