Jobless Corner Campus’: An institutionalised idleness in Kibera, an informal settlement in Nairobi
Original language description
The article analyses the so-called 'institutional idleness' observed as taking place in Kibera, one of the largest informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. The study analyses the notion of 'idling' - a stigmatic term that is internalised by the residents and follows the inhabitants' reaction to the stigmatisation. Among constructing the demonised others, or producing a counternarrative, there has been found another form of reaction to the stigmatisation, characterised by the involvement of the idleness in the organisations formed by the residents of the settlement. Such behaviour has been observed as being accompanied by a certain level of playfulness and irony resulting in what I term 'institutionalised idleness' - a specific way of dealing with the stigma as well as a form of non-violent subversive resistance to the authoritative and disciplinary narratives of official institutions of the post-colonial state in Africa.
