Pathways to Kairos - Exploring the Ontological, Pedagogical, and Ecological Implications of Escaping the Clutches of Chronos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines how clock-time, or the time of chronos, not only dominates proceedings in mainstream classrooms of industrialised societies but also contrives to help sever children from the more-than-human world. It is argued that a strict conformity and compliance to the ways of chronos demands a narrow way of being whilst also suppressing ways of knowing that can be experienced through the perspective of kairos. Kairos is a time when intuitive, sensory, emotional, spiritual, holistic and contemplative ways of knowing are valued in contrast to the rational-logical ways of knowing that dominate in the factory-model of schooling. Drawing on Smith (2020), Jardine (2012; 2013), Keller (2004; 2021) and Abram (2012; 2021), this article explores how our current ecological and spiritual malaise could be countered by an “apocalyptic mindfulness” (Keller, 2021). This is examined through an analysis of an artist-in-residence project from an interview with the artist, Sean Harris.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
