Abstract
Published before the call for contributions for The Geopolitics of Postdigital Educational Development, this chapter outlines the book editors’ initial thoughts about what postdigital educational development may mean and offers possible directions for its development. The chapter links research foci on territories, through networks, to rival world systems, to associated predigital, digital, and postdigital concerns. Noting that networks and systems rely on a physical infrastructure that sits on and passes through physical lands, requiring further infrastructure such as electricity, the chapter develops a postdigital understanding of materiality of immateriality. It further suggests possible ways of navigating the geopolitical landscape of Artificial Intelligence and mobilizes a postdigital geopolitical turn in the service of a transformative praxis of education development. Many of these themes have been subsequently addressed in The Geopolitics of Postdigital Educational Development, making this chapter an important background reading for the book.
