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 rebellious 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.
