    Platform: in theory
    (University of the Free State, 2415) Vale, Peter; Mare, Gerhard
    Platform has moved – and we accept that it will be a while before our new and welcoming location in Acta Academica becomes known, beyond the journal’s regular readers. Even in its short life to date the site has presented itself in projects where conversations will develop over time through active collaboration with contributors. The motivation for Platform and two projects already presented in the first three appearances (archived here under Platform: invitation for collaboration and conversation, and found at https://journals.ufs.ac.za/index.php/aa/issue/view/521) are: first, development and examples of theory deliberately employed; and second, keywords as illuminating change and power in society. Here we are introducing a third, namely temporality, and the dangerous framing of ideas and activism within the rigid boundaries of shortterm thinking.
