Film “Threnody for the victims of Marikana” by Aryan Kaganof “kidnapped” and brought the alienated academic discourse to the place of the massacre of the rebelled South-African miners which took place in 2012, and in that process he named this murder a ritual, shedding light onto the social truth of the “new democracy”, using the experience of remix poetics in dismantling the imperial social, media and cultural mechanisms.
