A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
... This agency of narrative in cinema can be explained, using Deleuze's concept of assemblage, as the operation of two autonomous entities (the repeated objects and the film narrative) connected by external relations. Deleuze and Guattari (1987) define an assemblage as multiplicity of elements constituting concatenations in continuous transformation with three basic conditions. Assemblages are composed "through the establishment of the lines of articulation or segmentarity, strata and territories, and lines of flight, movements of deterritorialization and destratification" ( Deleuze and Guattari, 1987: 3). ...

... Deterritorialisation is associated to reterritorialization, which is the way in which separated elements recombine and enter into new relations (Patton, 2010: 73). Deleuze and Guattari (1987) use the concept of "deterritorialization" to describe how an assemblage works and distinguish it in four types along the twin axes of absolute and relative, positive and negative (508-10). There are four types of deterritorialization: relative positive de-territorialization, relative negative deterritorialization, absolute positive deterritorialization and absolute negative deterritorialization. Deterritorialization is relative when it concerns the movements within the actual order of things, while absolute deterritorialization acts as its "internal dynamic" concerning the state of things (Patton, 2010: 73-4). ...
Intersections between cinema and architecture originated when moving images started recording actual buildings and urban environments and, from their inception, they have been accompanied by extended theoretical reflections on authenticity and objectivity of spatial representation. In recent times, disruptive transformations in the modes and techniques of architectural expression introduced by digital production have originated a fundamental rethinking of these questions. Looking at the impact of technology advances on mechanisms of spatial narrative in cinema, this paper explores how the new forms of architectural expression configure elements and contexts that radically challenge the traditional notions of authenticity and objectivity. Although the new forms of visual narration of architecture in cinema are well understood, the way in which they enhance film narrative is not. With the help of relevant philosophical concepts developed by Gilles Deleuze, this study explores this complex architectural phenomenon to shed light on the mechanisms operating behind it by decoding exemplary cases that transcend the conventional limits of spatial individuation. Through a case study on hybrid, complex and multiple speculative spatialities found in the Marvel movie series, this study offers a theoretical frame to understand the emerging architectural typologies and morphologies. By applying assemblage theory to decode these spatialites, this study offers a description of the novel means used in cinema to redefine architectural types and forms by creatively deterritorializing and reterritorializing consolidated ones. Through the engagement with the Deleuzian understanding of the productive capacity of repetition, the new architectural elements are described as assemblages that expand their both material and intangible boundaries, endowing them with narrative forces of differential individuation.
... This dissertation aims to contribute to arts therapy by creating new ways of knowing and working with photography within a metamodern worldview (Vermeulen & van den Akker, 2010) that invites exploration of multiplicity (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987) and liminal spaces (Turner, 1969) for clients. This rhizomatic study does so by using photography and other arts processes to investigate myself-as-subject and explore my multiple traumas/roles/selves (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987) and the spaces between them, with an aim to better understand my gestalt (Levine, 2009). ...

... In the sections to come, I demonstrate how the gathering and separation of my multiple selves (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987) (Allan, 1997). I could be the lost child, the tree and the volcano, sometimes all at once and sometimes separately, with a core (the whale; my soul) that guided me through the processa metamodernistic idea of self. ...
This arts-based autoethnography contributes to arts therapy by creating new ways of knowing and working with photography within a metamodern worldview that invites exploration of multiplicity and liminal spaces for clients. I chose to explore this because my many past and present traumas and labels had resulted in a confused sense of self and foggy gestalt. I thus explored myself as a liminal personae (person of the threshold) using object manipulation, photography and writing. Under the broad umbrella of arts-based research, I bended autoethnography, a/r/tography and Focusing-Orientated Arts Therapy. Over a period of six months of creative exploration, I played with a metamodern approach to expression, where writing and art-making were used in conjunction with each other, allowing the felt sense to decide which method would suit my current state. The images/writings created were treated in the same fashion, where their truth was relative to the time in which they were created, and not considered concrete. During analysis, my three roles in this research (artist, therapist, researcher) were split, and each voiced their own interpretation of the data. I discovered that I used photography in two ways: to hold a moment in time which then became a threshold marker for future reflection; and/or to alter my perception of the place/object within a photograph by altering how I represented the content of the image. This process helped me shed myself of past and current traumas, while crystallising my multiplicity. I concluded with the sense that this approach helped hold the fluidity of my emotions in liminality. This dissertation thus offers fellow arts therapists insights into how using photography within arts therapy by following the felt sense offers a way of working with liminal emotions that neither contains/suffocates nor incites chaos through giving them too much room.
... In this sense, human existence is never fixed or predetermined; rather, it holds an inherent potential for infinite transformation, continuously moving toward deterritorialization from any temporary territorialization whenever an escape becomes possible (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004). Thus, becoming concerns the very process of existence itself, in which the self is reconfigured and the subject is continually reconstituted. ...
... She expressed a sense of accomplishment in the newly created rustling sounds, which were an intra-action involving the shaking of paper stuff, the rustling of reeds from that night, and Hasol's own performativity. These sounds underwent territorial deterritorialization (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004), which fundamentally entails the movement whereby individuals or entities depart from their original territory and essentially embodies the process of 'a line of flight'. The term 'deterritorialization' is used to denote the attempt to transcend existing constraints, as part of processes related to the transformation of existence or material. ...
... Essentially, the agency embodied in the small TV depiction within the invented notation triggered Yujin's recollection of her prior experiences. Intensifying these memories, Yujin naturally came to slide into a newly territorialized sound realm (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004), intricately engaging and intra-acting with the sounds documented by the notator. The sudden invocation of memories triggered by the materiality of the TV drawing enabled Yujin to immerse herself further in the interpretation of the invented notation. ...
The current study examined how pre-service early childhood teachers, through invented notation activities, intra-act with the agency of music and the environment to achieve a process of becoming-music, grounded in Barad’s agential realism, presuming that it is necessary to consider the encounter with music itself rather than perceiving it as a ‘teaching subject’. The collected data included 54 sets of invented notations performed by 22 pre-service teachers, recorded videos of their performances driven by their interpretations, their journals, and observational records and notes by the researcher. Qualitative analysis was conducted based on the intra-actions between the pre-service teachers and music. In the invented notation activity, pre-service teachers initiated their engagement by encountering musical concepts and experimenting with diverse art materials as well as daily-life items. They generated sounds and created three-dimensional invented notations designed to guide the performance of the sounds. Furthermore, they deeply responded to the symbols within the invented notations, connecting their daily lives and music. They continued to realize the becoming-music through the ongoing generation of N-dimensional sounds. Pre-service teachers, through invented notation activities, experienced musical thinking not as an acquisition of pre-established knowledge and skills but rather through a direct encounter with music itself. This suggests that invented notation activities provide a sustainable learning environment by facilitating a dynamic entanglement with music. Furthermore, it indicates that post-humanism, which proposes a relational symbiosis between human and nonhuman entities, serves as a fundamental framework for education for sustainable development.
... To investigate the intersection between educational policy and politicseducational policy research and childhood studies, I have decided to engage with the ontological premises of sociomaterial (e.g. Deleuze & Guattari, 1987, 1988 In other words, the focus is on how things we might consider stable are actually constantly becoming. They never come to a halt but keep changing continuously (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). ...
... Deleuze & Guattari, 1987, 1988 In other words, the focus is on how things we might consider stable are actually constantly becoming. They never come to a halt but keep changing continuously (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). ...
... And yet, while many educational scholars have welcomed approaches that emphasise the politics and processual nature of reality, challenging traditional notions of stability and permanence, some have also offered criticisms. On this point, I want to emphasise that although the philosophies of many sociomaterial thinkers, such as Deleuze and Guattari (1987), start from the premise that events as assemblages are ever-changing, they do not actually make any statements that more stable aspects, such as categories, do not exist. Rather their starting point -the constant emergence of eventsremains connected to more stable components, that is policies, discourses and categories (see also Smith, 2012, for discussion). ...
This study is about politics in school. Politics is often understood to operate primarily at the macro level — in policy documents, in meeting rooms and in everyday school life through tests, technologies and governance tools. In this thesis, I aim to understand what else politics could be in a school environment. For this purpose, the research is located at the intersection of two disciplines: education policy research and childhood studies. Although the two sectors have often operated separately, I suggest that fruitful intersections between them exist.
To examine the intersection of the two fields, I used the theoretical concept of micropolitics. Micropolitics aims to centre the analytical gaze on mundane school life. Instead of following one specific pre-selected policy and examining how it shapes everyday school life, research begins with the micropolitics within mundane, seeking to reveal moments that can become political in often unexpected ways. I am particularly interested in children’s initiatives and what they make visible in the wider socio-political environment of the school. This approach requires examining the interaction of components that come from both everyday life and broader educational policies; what kind of relations they produce in everyday school life and how these relations are maintained.
The ethnographic data was produced in two schools between 2018 and 2020. The data included field notes written based on participatory observations, school policy documents, photographs and materials produced in cooperation between the researcher and the study participants. The focus of data production was to begin with the mundane events and then, in a chain-reaction manner, tracing the production of these events to the broader socio-political environments of the schools.
The thesis consists of three Articles, which, in this integrative part, are brought into close dialogue through the concept of micropolitics. The study shows that the priorities based on which school communities condense broader education policies into school-specific policies appear to conceal the opportunities for teachers – and, therefore, also children – to act in their everyday lives. I propose that children’s indirect and often invisible initiatives in everyday school life can serve as critical indicators of these moments, in which children become encoded into diverse, not always equal, positions.
Through a theoretically diverse conceptual framework, the research provides tools to identify hidden consequences of policy and ways in which these consequences can be reformulated. In doing so, I suggest that by rethinking politics in schools, we can find ways to identify and foster new kinds of relations—those that create opportunities for new ways of being, acting and thinking in the school environment.

[Oedipal animals] invite us to regress, draw us into a narcissistic contemplation, and they are the only kind of animal psychoanalysis understands, the better to discover a daddy, a mommy, a little brother behind them. (Deleuze & Guattari, 1980/1987 In this article, we propose a rereading of three of Freud's most famous case studies-''Little Hans,'' ''The Rat Man,'' and ''The Wolf Man''-in light of the approach and findings of recent scholarship in animal studies. In this section, we sketch out some related arguments and lines of analysis from the literature as well as outline the three central questions that our textual findings will address. ...

... In the latter text, the pair write, ''[Freud and other psychoanalysts only] see the animal as a representative of drives, or a representation of the parents'' (1980/1987, p. 259). Furthermore, they lament what they see as the limited scope of Freud's psychoanalytic bestiary: ''individuated animals, family pets, sentimental, oedipal animals each with its own petty history, 'my' cat, 'my' dog'' (Deleuze & Guattari, 1980/1987. Additionally, as regards their reading of ''The Wolf Man'' in A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari prefer the ''multiplicity'' of a wolf pack to the lone oedipal wolf that Freud locates in his patient's ''primal scene'' dream. ...
This article explores Freud’s original engagement with animal symbols, characters, and stories in his case studies “Little Hans,” “The Rat Man,” and “The Wolf Man.” Employing insights from animal studies, the article examines Freud’s views on the human-animal continuum as well as the phenomena of anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, via which human characteristics are affixed to animals and animal characteristics to humans. Also examined is the symbolism surrounding the animals appearing in the fairy tales referenced by Freud’s patients, including “Little Red Riding Hood.” We end by considering the contributions that Freud can make to the expanding field of animal studies.
... 5 Esses alinhamentos foram, em parte, impulsionados por mudanças monumentais que ocorriam no mundo, com o neoliberalismo, a globalização e novos tipos de geopolítica se espalhando pelo planeta (Kearney, 1995). Esses fenômenos empíricos deram rapidamente origem a uma série de novas formas de teoria: por um lado, o pós-estruturalismo (Deleuze;Guattari, 1987;Foucault, 1978), o pós-modernismo (para maiores informações, consulte Harvey, 1997) e o pós-colonialismo (Said, 1989) e, por outro lado, a reformulação do construtivismo social (Latour;Woolgar, 1979), fenomenológico (Csordas, 2002) e das teorias do ator/agência (Giddens, 1984). ...

... Deleuze e Guattari (1987) propõem que um território funcione como uma força gravitacional em meio ao caos, consistindo em um conjunto de forças que geram uma dinâmica de ordenamento. De acordo com Guattari (2005), essa heterogeneidade define o território, englobando atores sociais, elementos materiais, forças, distâncias, múltiplas corporalidades e agência. ...
Resumo A antropologia do desenvolvimento conquistou seu espaço dentro da antropologia social, oferecendo insights cruciais sobre como as forças globais se entrelaçam com as realidades locais, moldando o mundo sociomaterial. Seu compromisso se estende além de compreender por que as intervenções de desenvolvimento falham, englobando o estudo etnográfico das práticas cotidianas, materialidades e territórios. Este artigo explora as raízes conceituais do campo, identifica temas emergentes e enfatiza a necessidade de autorreflexividade entre pesquisadores e profissionais.
... Nojaamme analyysissamme ajatukseen, että toimijuus rakentuu osana erilaisia sosiomateriaalisia suhdeverkostoja (ks. Deleuze ja Guattari 1980). Suhteissa rakentuviin toimijuuksiin keskittymällä artikkelimme osallistuu pohdintaan muunlajisten esittämisen käytännöistä ja näissä käytännöissä rakentuvista eettisistä suhteista. ...
... Kuten toimme johdannossa esille, nojaamme artikkelissamme ajatukseen, että toimijuus rakentuu moninaisissa suhteissa. Lähestymistapamme perustuu ajatukseen, että toimijuus tapahtuu aina osana alati tulemisen tilassa olevia sosiomateriaalisia suhteita ja yhteenkokoontumisia (Deleuze ja Guattari 1980). Toisin sanoen käsityksemme painottaa, että toimijuus tai toimijuuden mahdollisuudet eivät ole staattisesti johonkin tiettyyn entiteettiin kiinnittyviä sisäsyntyisiä ominaisuuksia. ...
Artikkelissa tutkimme eläinten, ihmisten ja jätteen keskinäisissä suhteissa rakentuvia toimijuuksia luontokuvassa. Tarkastelumme nojaa yhteiskuntatieteellisen jätetutkimuksen ajatukseen jätteen performatiivisuudesta sekä ymmärrykseen toimijuuden rakentumisesta tilanteisissa suhteissa. Luontokuvassa luonto on usein rakentunut ihmisen kulttuurista erilliseksi esteettiseksi tilaksi. Nykyään ihmisen tuottama jäte on kuitenkin levittäytynyt jo lähes kaikkialle luontoon. Jätteellä on myös suuria vaikutuksia eläimiin, sillä sitä löytyy muun muassa eläinten pesistä, vatsoista ja raajojen ympäriltä. Artikkelissa analysoimme kansainvälisen Wildlife Photographer of the Year -kilpailun eläimiä ja jätettä esittäviä kuvia vuosilta 2011–2024 (33 kpl). Ikonologisessa analyysissa tunnistamme kolme erilaista kuvien kategoriaa, jotka kukin rakentavat ihmisen, eläimen ja jätteen suhteita eri tavoin: jätteestä kärsivät eläimet, raunioita haltuun ottavat eläimet sekä jätettä hyödyntävät eläimet. Artikkeli haastaa vallitsevia käsityksiä siitä, miten eläinten toimijuus sekä ihmisten ja eläinten välinen suhde rakentuvat luontokuvassa. Tämän myötä artikkeli laajentaa käsitystä luontokuvan esittämisen tavoista sekä niissä rakentuvista eettisistä suhteista.
... Queer theory builds on this foundation by applying poststructuralist insights to identity, particularly in relation to sex, gender, sexuality, and heteronormative relationship arrangements. Rather than viewing these categories as stable or inherent, queer theory sees them as fluid, historically contingent, and shaped by discourse [6]. It provides an epistemological framework for problematising and deconstructing normative ideologies around sex, gender, sexuality, and relationship arrangements. ...
... The postmodern critique has radically transformed how we think about the self, and to my mind this is one of the most important aspects of what queer theory brings to the table for the practice of psychotherapy. It invites us to reject the notion of a stable 'real' self in an essentialist framework, and to consider the self as fluid, multiple, and a product of a myriad of competing contexts (cultural, historical, familial, socio-political, relational) [4,6]. Although the Should Depth Psychotherapy Offer More than Identity Affirmation? ...
The chapter takes an overview of the practice of humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapy over the past 30 years, describing a paradigm shift in which issues around gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity are now significantly less likely to be treated as individual pathologies. Taking primarily a philosophical and conceptual approach, the author examines the role of queer theory and the postmodern critique in changing the practice of psychotherapy over the decades and its role in the emergence of current identity politics. She elaborates what she defines as an ‘unintended consequence’ of identity politics: that it is influencing psychotherapy to become a process of ‘identity affirmation’ rather than self exploration. The chapter goes on to explore what a politically-committed but clinically-neutral depth psychotherapy would look like if we were to use queer theory to hold critically all the way down.
... The findings regarding the development of distributed energy in SGE indicates that its development in China is influenced by the crucial role state-owned grid companies (e.g., SGCC) plays. As a state-owned enterprise, SGCC operates as a centralized power structure within collective mechanisms (Deleuze and Guattari 2003). This has played a crucial role in ensuring national energy security throughout the historical evolution of China's energy sector. ...
... The state's mechanisms resonate across various aspects of daily life and contexts of production. Deleuze and Guattari (2003) interpret this phenomenon as "intra-consistence," which functions through stratification to create a vertical, hierarchized aggregate that spans horizontal dimensions in depth. In the processes of SGE's distributed energy system, alongside governmental policies present the powerful assemblage of China's state, discussions with various interviewees incorporate terms such as governments, legitimate authority, state responsibility, energy security, and public welfare, forming a cohesive discourse focused on the state. ...
The examination of infrastructure realities exposes the fallacy of assuming ubiquity of the modern networked infrastructure paradigm. Heterogeneous infrastructure studies examine urban systems as intricate assemblages of diverse material and immaterial components to reveal their complexity. Modern infrastructure stands at the intersection of sustainable transition and complex urban issues. The multifaceted governance process and the multi-factor infrastructure configurations are interlaced, potentially leading to a sustainable transition. Through assemblage thinking, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of an energy infrastructure transition in Qingdao, China. We discuss: (1) the horizontal, vertical, and local infrastructure governance processes that influence the outcomes of low-carbon transition; (2) the stable assemblage built by the state-owned grid company that has become a resistance to transition; and (3) constraints on end-user agency that have contributed to their insensitivity to transition. The analysis draws on heterogenous infrastructure configurations’ extension of infrastructure ontology to elucidate the essential elements of energy infrastructure transition practices, offering a heuristic for transition governance measures.

The refinement of urban planning has posed new challenges to
contemporary spatial practices beyond the construction of material spaces, requiring
the management of complex information and the mediation between heterogeneous
actors and their re-creation of space through use. Urban research is being challenged
to provide appropriate theoretical tools. While mainstream assemblage thinking
effectively describes how actual assemblages change, it lacks methodologies for
representing, analysing and evaluating the concrete genesis of change. To fill this
gap, this paper revisits Deleuze’s concept of “the virtual” as the ontological source
of change and introduces the notion of “boundary space” as an analytical tool for
urban planning. Taking the Jiugulou neighbourhood of Beijing Old City as an
example, the study traces the changes in the material spaces, residents’ activities,
individual memories and the broader urban history before and after the “Relocation,
Remediation and Improvement” initiative. Through a series of maps, we discover that
boundary space tends to maintain the consistency of the nodes of virtual networks
and actual assemblages of a particular urban site. This paper reminds practitioners of
urban regeneration to heed this natural force of boundary space.
... In deze wereld van assemblages verschijnt alles slechts als een deelobject, dat een tijdelijke relatie is van verschenen entiteiten (actoren). Wanneer deze deelobjecten geactiveerd worden, spreken Deleuze & Guattari (1987) van flux (stroom). De entiteiten worden tijdelijk op een bepaalde manier geactiveerd en brengen relaties tot stand. ...
... Dit impliceert dat de processen op macro-, mesoof microniveau die een rol spelen in de architectuur van algoritmisch politiewerk altijd met elkaar verbonden en in beweging zijn. Dit maakt het onmogelijk om de productie van sociale orde te bestuderen door slechts op één niveau of moment te focussen (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987;Van Brakel, 2018;Kleinherenbrink, 2019). Het is daarom ook bij het bestuderen van schade van algoritmisch politiewerk essentieel om het macro-, meso-en microniveau en de relaties tussen de niveaus aan de orde te stellen. ...
Het onderzoek naar potentiële schade als gevolg van algoritmisch politiewerk neemt toe. Er ontbreekt echter een theoretisch kader om schade van algoritmisch politiewerk in kaart te brengen. In deze rubriektekst doen we een voorstel om deze leemte op te vullen. We stellen een kader voor om rizomatische schade van algoritmisch politiewerk in de pre-crime samenleving te bestuderen. Het uitgangspunt voor deze exploratie is de zemiologie; de studie van sociale schade die als doel heeft “to think anew about social harms and responses to them, increasingly produced by the profit-driven, unaccountable, non-criminalised destructive harms of global capitalism – harms which were being increasingly assumed to be legitimate subjects for criminology to study” (Canning en Tombs, 2021: 23).We verkennen hoe deze zemiologische inzichten uitgebreid kunnen worden met een rizomatische focus, om zo het concept van 'sociale schade' te verbreden naar 'rizomatische schade'. Op deze manier willen we de discussie opentrekken en bijdragen aan een nieuwe richting in de criminologie, binnen de digitale criminologie, die zich richt op het holistisch onderzoeken van de impact van nieuwe algoritmische surveillancesystemen op het criminologisch werkveld en sociale rechtvaardigheid. Door te focussen op schade en de oorzaken van schade, wordt het mogelijk "to add a sensitivity to the experiences, meanings and images of crime and justice insofar as they are transformed by digital technologies" (Wood, 2019: 2). In deze rubriektekst zullen we een theoretisch kader voorstellen voor rizomatische schade en dit illustreren aan de hand van een voorbeeld van algoritmisch politiewerk: ProKid+ algoritme en bijhorende top400 lijst.
... The interplay between the two processes-immunization and burnout-in exacerbating students' marginalization and exclusion can be more clearly understood by applying, respectively, Foucault's concept of 'apparatus' and Deleuze and Guattari's notion of 'assemblage' (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004;Foucault, 1980). An apparatus (dispositif) is defined as "a thoroughly heterogeneous ensemble consisting of discourses, institutions, architectural forms, regulatory decisions, laws, administrative measures, scientific statements, philosophical, moral and philanthropic propositions" (Foucault, 1980: 194). ...
... Contrary to the traditional view of individuals as unified entities, Deleuze and Guattari argue they are better described through their external relations of aggregation, composition, and mixture. Subjects are multiplicities that can be added, subtracted, and recombined within a systematic process of enunciation, stratification, territorialization, and deterritorialization (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004). Viewing individuals as assemblages sheds light on the paradox of individualization at the core of special education. ...
Purpose This study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on reimagining special education to authentically support inclusivity. It explores the application of zombie theory as a critical lens to examine Special Educational Needs (SEN) policies across Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK. By dissecting the current state of SEN policies, the paper seeks to uncover mechanisms that perpetuate exclusion under the guise of inclusion. Methods Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative discourse analysis. This comprehensive methodology facilitates an in-depth examination of SEN policy implementation and its impact across the selected European countries. The study analyzes policy documents, legislation, and statistical reports to investigate the conceptualization and operationalization of SEN within various educational systems. Findings The findings reveal a growing trend in the identification of students with SEN, coupled with significant regional disparities in addressing these needs. The analysis highlights the fluid and often ambiguous definitions of SEN, contributing to what is described as a ‘nurtured epidemic.’ The study identifies processes of ‘immunization’ and ‘burnout’ as crucial for understanding the exclusionary pressures within inclusive education. These processes marginalize students with SEN and commodify their needs within a broader educational market, reflecting the paradoxes and contradictions that undermine the objectives of inclusive education. Conclusion The study concludes that zombie theory provides a powerful metaphor for critiquing and rethinking SEN policies within the context of inclusive education. It advocates for a shift away from current practices that marginalize and exploit students with SEN, proposing instead a more dynamic and fluid understanding of inclusion. This ‘nomadic’ approach to inclusive education would acknowledge and value the diverse needs of students, viewing these differences as opportunities to enrich the educational landscape. The paper calls for an educational paradigm that truly accommodates all learners, moving beyond the undead state of current SEN policies to revive the spirit of genuine inclusion.
... 1 Agencement has been used as a philosophical term by Deleuze and Guattari (1987) with the sense of 'in connection with,' which gives a first good approximation of the term. The problem, however, is that its translation into English as 'assemblage' has changed the original meaning. ...
... In other words, the act of resistance is twofold: first, the mapping of Palestine's flora and fauna across the spatial, textual or geographic, narrative resists the colonial Israeli policies of erasure that, in the words of Ilan Pappé, aim to "de-Arabize the [Palestinian] terrain" (2007: 226). Second, Barghouti's autobiographical and environmental discourse THE POLITICS OF SPACE IN HUSSEIN BARGHOUTI'S AMONG THE ALMOND TREES reinvents both a literary and a geographical Palestinian presence in opposition to a human and geographical colonial 'deterritorialization' of Palestine ( Deleuze and Guattari, 1988) In an earlier encounter with the ghreriya, Barghouti mistakes the animal for a hyena thinking that the former is now "extinct" (2002: 39). Although not explicitly expressed in the text, the word 'extinct' takes on the eco-political meaning of a warning against the immense menace of extinction that threatens indigenous Palestinian wildlife, a menace that threatens the land as well. ...
Drawing on Derrida’s concept of hauntology, Edensor’s notions of spatial memory, and Maddern and Adey’s spectro-geographies, this article scrutinizes the intricate politics of space in Hussein Barghouti’s memoir Among the Almond Trees , focusing on the symbolic and spatial significance of the monastery in Kobar. Barghouti employs the ruins of the monastery as a conduit for ancestral memories that disrupt colonial spatiotemporal narratives and invoke a spectral presence that defies linear temporality. The memoir weaves together the material and the mystical, portraying the landscape as an active participant in the textual space. We contend that the memoir is a site of ecological and anti-colonial resistance, where the land’s fauna and flora serve as a counter-narrative to the Israeli colonial project which seeks to transform and dominate the Palestinian landscape.
... But criticism, until very recently, has traditionally ignored such discrepancies by choosing to focus on representation or gameplay. Expanding on Hawking's (2007) use of the concept, this article will draw on assemblage theory (Delanda, 2006;Deleuze & Guattari, 2009) to describe ludonarrative dissonance as a real phenomenon that contextually emerges from particular player-game relationships. A digital game's capacity to create political meaning, within this framework, cannot be reduced to a discussion of representation or simulation because dissonance between both components can also be understood as a real relation. ...
Game criticism, from a historic perspective, traditionally follows an objectively oriented approach. But in recent years a new tide of personally oriented writing has been emerging in online spaces alongside more traditional publishing models. Game scholars, motivated by the large audiences that online pieces can attract, are not only participating in this scene, but also promoting it as the primary source for progressive criticism. While such pronouncements are correct in many cases, the video game blogosphere is also not immune from the cultural privileging of "gamers," a problem that has been identified by feminist and critical theoretical approaches to the study of gaming culture (Kubic, 2012; Shaw, 2012, 2013; Consalvo, 2012; Vanderhoef, 2013). To better illustrate the aforementioned point, this article will both examine and comment on the recent online debate that arose over use of the term "ludonarrative dissonance" (Hawking, 2007), a critical concept referring to formal, thematic, and ideological disconnects between ludic and narrative meaning. It will begin by contextualizing the ludonarrative dissonance debate within a brief history of methodological approaches to game criticism. The focus will then shift to discussion of the term itself, and how it provides a useful critical framing by treating simulation and representation as interacting components with the capacity to coincide and contradict. Ludonarrative dissonance, understood as a formal problem, has entered the vocabulary of many critics, but the term is also dismissed for a variety of reasons, including the insistence that experienced gamers learn to ignore inconsistencies between story and design (Yang, 2013). Rejecting this argument, this article concludes by drawing upon assemblage approaches to play (Taylor, 2009; Pearce & Artemesia, 2009; Parikka, 2010) to argue that ludonarrative dissonance does exist and that the concept provides a useful starting point for examining the political tensions implicit in many games-tensions that are often acknowledged but frequently downplayed in existing formal and political approaches to criticism. The analysis of ludonarrative dissonance, from this perspective, not only pushes criticism beyond the aesthetic appraisals gamers, it can also provide insight into the nuances of games that reinforce problematic political discourses while simultaneously simulating potential systematic alternatives to neoliberal corporate capitalism.
... Opposite to the traditional cartographic paradigm, speculative mapping exists in an intermediate space-neither purely imagined nor entirely external-where representation unfolds as an open-ended process rather than a static artifact (Corner, 2011). Furthermore, and drawing from Deleuze and Guattari's critique of tracing, (speculative) mapping does not merely document but actively transforms its subject through the act of representation itself (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). As such, it does not aim to reproduce what is already known but to construct new ways of perceiving and engaging with spatial uncertainty-a function aligned with the thesis of this study. ...
... Suhteissa oleminen on keskeinen teema myös monille muille paljon posttutkijoiden piirissä viitatuille ajattelijoille. Yksi paljon käytetyistä suhteissa olemiseen viit taavista käsitteistä on assemblage (käännetty englanniksi käsitteestä agencement, Deleuze & Guattari 1987). Suomenkielisiä vastineita termille assemblage ovat ainakin sommitelma (Guttorm 2014), kokouma (Markuksela 2020), sommittuma (Aronpuro 2019) ja yhdistelmä (Tammi & Hohti 2017, 71). ...
Jälkihumanististen ja jälkilaadullisten tutkimusotteiden suosio on lisääntynyt viime vuosikymmeninä ihmistieteellisessä tutkimuksessa. Näitä lähestymistapoja käytetään paljon myös kasvatustieteessä, mutta miten ne sijoittuvat tutkimusmenetelmien laajempaan historiallis-filosofiseen viitekehykseen? Tavoitteemme on vastata tähän kysymykseen. Teemme ehdotuksen post-lähestymistapojen sijoittamiseksi Kasvatus-lehdessä 2005 julkaistuun karttaan kasvatustieteen maastosta. Kyseistä karttaa on sovellettu varsin laajasti tutkimuskirjallisuudessa, mutta se on osittain vanhentunut; kahdessakymmenessä vuodessa metodo-loginen kenttä on muuttunut, eikä kartta huomioi lainkaan postlähestymistapoja. Esitämme, että post-lähestymistapoja voi hahmottaa osana kasvatustieteen menetelmällistä karttaa suhtautuen kuitenkin varauksella ajatukseen siitä, että kyseessä olisi täysin uusi paradigma. Pikemminkin sen voi nähdä pitkän perinteen jatkumona. Uudella metodologisella kartalla on etunsa mutta myös haasteita ajattelun ja tutkimuksen tekemisen välineenä.

My doctoral research considers Early Childhood Studies degree placements as dynamic, contingent, and emergent assemblages of human-nonhuman forces and precarious multispecies relational entanglements. It explores how affective forces in placement contexts influence learning experiences, and how learning emerges through relationships between matter and meaning, which are mutually implicated. My modes of inquiry contest assumptions of human exceptionalism and separateness from the world, and instead, place humans in context with the lively nonhuman materials and entanglements through which matter and meaning are co-constituted. My research practices generate conditions for doing pedagogy-otherwise to resist dominant modes of measuring human attainment and dehumanising performativity agendas.
Using the example of tiny fragments of playdough in the more-than-human assemblage of my doctoral research, my poster illustrates how small ‘things’ (Bennett, 2010) come to matter discursively with research practices that care-fully attend to precarious entanglements through placement learning assemblages. The arrival of dried-up bits of playdough stuck between the crevices of the soles of a student-participant’s placement shoes generated possibilities for ‘noticing’ (Tsing, 2015) and becoming-with the pedagogical potential of tiny, seemingly insignificant things that often go unnoticed unless we are open to be(com)ing affected through their ‘intra-activities’ (Barad, 2007) with us. My research practices entail ‘improvising’ (Taylor et al, 2018) and ‘edu-crafting’ (Taylor, 2016) with data that ‘glow’ (MacLure, 2013), and ‘whirzoming’ (Barr 2024) – a discursive-material wandering writing practice that grows roots (like a botanical rhizome, a concept I borrow from Deleuze and Guattari, 1987)) through and with the data and connects with material conditions and matter(s) that make their way into the orbit of the whirring research-assemblage-machine. These knowledge-making practices refuse to ignore bodies and matters that fall outside pre-set learning trajectories, and instead, ‘trace-and-map’ (Lenz Taguchi, 2016) how discursive-material entanglements enable us to think with nonhuman/more-than-human matter(ing)(s) that are often dismissed or marginalised.
... Inspiration for unlearning human exceptionalism can be found all around us-in Indigenous and African cosmologies that bring into focus land knowledge (LeGrange, 2012(LeGrange, , 2018Martin & Mirraboopa, 2003;Rose, 1992;Rose & D'Amico, 2011;Styres, 2019), in a multiplicity of local knowledge systems and eco-activist movements in the South Americas (Escobar, 2018;Mignolo, 2011;Viveiros de Castro, 2004), and Asian philosophical and cultural traditions (Abe, 2014;Sevilla, 2016;Zhao, 2009). In Western scholarship, alternatives to human/nature hierarchies are articulated in terms of "assemblages" and "networks" of multiple human and nonhuman actors (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987;Latour, 2004Latour, , 2005Latour, , 2018, the hybrid concepts of "cyborgs" and "naturecultures" (Haraway, 1985(Haraway, , 1988, or the lively inter-and intra-actions between all kinds of matter (Alaimo & Hekman, 2009;Barad, 2007;Bennett, 2010). These alternatives share a commitment to deeply relational, animate worldviews, which presuppose that human and more-than-human worlds are intrinsically interconnected and radically interdependent. ...
Despite decades of international development efforts, poverty persists, inequality grows, and environmental degradation worsens, with both the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) failing to meet their targets. Critical reflections on these failures abound, but they have not led to meaningful changes in development practices or logic. This essay argues for a shift from "lessons learned" to "unlearning"—a deeper questioning of the assumptions underlying development—to deconstruct Western-centric knowledge and explore alternative approaches.
... This study is a philosophical framework of Gilles Deleuze's and Felix Guattari's theories of multiplicity and assemblage (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). The book also applies the polyphony theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, Oswald Ducrot, and Jacques Bres to the selected poetic texts of Mary Borden. ...
This study examines the manifestation of polyphony in the war poetry of Mary Borden, an American-British poet whose works capture the multiplicity of voices, both heard and silenced, during wartime. It contributes to modernist and postmodernist literary discourse by addressing the overlooked polyphonic dimensions of her poetry. The research focuses on three poems from her collection The Forbidden Zone (1929): At the Somme: The Song of Mud, The Hill, and Unidentified. The data collection and analysis involve close textual examination and application of postmodernist conceptions of polyphony by exploring various forms of polyphony, including dialogical relationships, levels of communication, diversity of voices, styles of discourse, and perspectives to explore how polyphony shapes the structure, unity, and meaning of Borden’s poetry. The findings reveal that Borden manifested polyphony as fragmentation, religious and mythological norms, muted voice, philosophical and religious voices, juxtaposition, vocalized icons, psychological and introspective polyphonic dialogs, and rhetorical voices. They are used to depict the horrors of war, capturing the suffering, anguish, and trauma experienced by soldiers through the fragmented and subjective perspectives of a nurse and an eyewitness. Her use of trench poetry accentuates the emotional turmoil of war, reflecting grief, despair, and anger through a polyphonic and fragmentary style. The research argues that the relationship of multiple voices within these poems reflects the brokenness of nations and the fragmented consciousness of war survivors. By engaging with polyphonic voicing, this analysis demonstrates how Borden’s poetry challenges readers to confront the incompleteness, indeterminacy, and enduring psychological impact of war.
... The contradictions I have experienced with this portrayal of reality, knowledge, and self are not in its fluid interpretations. Our social world, I believe, has multiple causes and effects: an assemblage of exchangeability and multiple functionalities (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004). This means looking for black-and-white interpretations "is turning a blind eye to limitless shades and colors created at diverse intersections" (Shah, 2000, p. 99). ...
This article employs an interpretive autoethnographic approach to explore how the author navigates the paradigmatic contradictions between poststructuralism as a theoretical framework and his personal religious beliefs. It narrates and analyzes how the researcher arrives at specific understandings of reality, knowledge, and the self. The author then examines how these understandings were challenged by poststructuralism and whether they have been reconciled. The article contributes to ongoing discussions on colonial theories and the critical importance of Asia as a method and southern theory in higher education and social theory.
... As there is no fixed or predetermined end, there are a multiplicity of exits-in the same way as there are no rigid roads to creativity (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004). Thoughts are endless, and the same with a/r/tography (Irwin, 2006). ...
... But they said it differently. A Thousand Plateaus (Deleuze & Guattari, 2004) is like an immense landscape. You can take a walk through it from wherever you want to wherever else, and however many times you do, there are always new things to notice which you hadn't noticed before. ...
This interview article explores how British anthropologist Tim Ingold’s work can inspire innovation in mental health and the psy disciplines. Ingold critiques dominant biomedical and individualistic approaches, arguing for the importance of caring attentiveness and abolishing dichotomies like those between surface and depth, when engaging with people to understand and assist them. Instead, he suggests viewing human existence as correspondences with environmental, social, and relational others. The interview highlights the concept of “doing-undergoing,” proposing that care is a reciprocal, relational process. Ingold’s ideas suggest a shift towards practices that engage directly with the world and promote attentiveness to human and more-than-human relations. The article encourages practitioners, educators and students of mental health disciplines to rethink traditional models and adopt more humane approaches.
... In essence, diagrammatical thinking raises awareness of plausible binaries, encouraging researchers to see connections without a centralizing taproot of the data. Blurring boundaries between seemingly contradictory data or theories can lead to transformative work, opening possibilities for adaptive and innovative transformation, which Deleuze and Guattari (1987) refer to the rhizomatic design of research as nomadism. Ko and Bal (2019) suggest that "like a nomad constantly moving to find a new land of possibility, rhizomatic design galvanizes local stakeholders to become generative nomads, capable of drawing lines of flight away from the normative ideology deeply embedded in the tree-like system" (p. ...

In this essay, the authors outline theoretical and practical considerations that arise out of their autobiographical curricular research into place, identity, and food. Regarding the quintessential curricular questions, What is worth knowing? and How do we come to know?, they posit that an attention to how we eat and use the world (Berry, 1990) is a curricular endeavor. As such, they understand their work here as an acknowledgement of embodied or somatic and visceral, sensual knowing, a celebration of and attunement to the everyday experiences in human lives. The notion of terroir is explored as one possible approach to "bringing curriculum down to earth" and to dwell in the humus (Aoki, 1991/2005) we share with other living things. Along with a series of six vignettes that illustrate how food and place have influenced their identities and vice versa, the authors offer the reader, by way of sidebars, some of the strategies that have transformed their praxis when working towards an educational philosophy and curriculum that honours terroir not only as a theoretical or conceptual idea/ideal but also as a viable and sensual embodied practice. In this format, the essay mixes abstract theoretical discussion with examples of concrete praxis. The authors suggest that this mixing is an important and necessary curricular endeavour for
Proposed "nature positive" revisions to the Australian Government's environmental legislation would further entrench an anthropocentric conception of nature as a commodity able to be metricised, traded, and/or replaced. The proposed legislation also manifests a form of speciesism, focusing on threatened species at the expense of other animals whose habitat would continue to be destroyed, and fails to account for future likely changes in the survivability of various species. Moreover, it takes little account of the suffering of individual animals nor the agential role of animals, plants, rocks, and mountains in more-than-human world-making, thus placing those non-humans in abjection-that is, accorded no moral considerability. Using the Australian case to anchor our discussion, we conclude that truly "nature positive" approaches to the environment require a shift in emphasis from principally enabling "sustainable" exploitation of resources by humans, toward a focus on sustaining the multitude of context-specific, intensely relational networks of humans-other-than-humans. These relations engender a responsibility on the part of humans, when intervening through legislation, policy or practice, to pay deep attention to the specifics of nonhuman standpoints , subjectivities and relations with place-ground truthing-so that greater knowledge and critical, less anthropocentric thinking can underpin more ethical regulatory frameworks.
Since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022, AI activity has reached a fever pitch. Calls for effective ethical responses to the pressurised AI environment have in turn abounded. Posthumanism, which seeks to build ethical futures by de-centring the ‘human’, is an obvious candidate to act as a lynchpin of theoretical intervention. In their responses, posthumanist scholars appear to have embraced AI’s potential to destabilise Humanist philosophical ideas. We critically interrogate this initial enthusiasm. Conceptually distinguishing ‘post-dualist self-development’ (PDSD) from ‘technical self-development’ (TSD), we show how AI prompts an urgent need to advance posthumanist engagement with how technical development unsupervised by humans is ontologically discrete from other forms of material agency. We argue that specific engagement with TSD as distinct from PDSD is a key to avoid ignoring or underestimating Humanist and anthropocentric aspects of current AI innovation, and the influence of anthropomorphism. Without a theoretical reckoning with these tensions, posthumanism in the AI-era runs the risk of potentially promoting technologies that reinvigorate Humanist and anthropocentric expansion. To conclude, we show how a posthumanist ethics of generative AI that pays requisite attention to both TSD and PDSD may enable more anticipatory and nuanced assessments of the risks and benefits of discrete AI technologies to inform public discourse, appropriate social, institutional, policy and governance responses, and direct AI research and development priorities.
Modernist düşüncenin insan aklını ve bilimi merkeze alarak oluşturduğu katı sistemleri yeniden değerlendirmek için, modernizmin içinden çıkan ve ona eleştirel bir bakış sunan düşünümsel yaklaşımlar, sosyal bilimler, sanat ve felsefe alanlarında kendini göstermektedir.

Resumen (analítico sintético): En el presente artículo desarrollo el problema de las infancias como sujetos contemporáneos desde una categoría plural y diversa que supera la mirada monolítica y universal propia de la modernidad. Esto implica reconocer los nuevos contextos de socialización de los niños y las niñas, y las inéditas formas de configurar sus identidades desde la hegemónica presencia de los medios de comunicación que les agencian y disponen formas de saber, de estar y de ser en el mundo. De igual manera, se trata de establecer la forma como ello ha derivado en la reconfiguración de las relaciones de poder y autoridad con los sujetos adultos que les son significativos, lo que ha supuesto un desdibujamiento de viejos patrones de autoridad y roles de las familias tradicionales.
Hysteria has always been a heatedly debated topic in both the medical and the non-medical arenas with around four thousand years' history. However, the different ways it has been translated into Chinese are all barely satisfactory from the perspective of interepistemic translation since they haven't fully explored the translationalities between the epistemic regimes of East and West. In this paper, the author proposes a counter-hegemonic Western regime that shares quite a few convergences with the Chinese regime based on qi theory. The author translates interepistemically between Gilles Deleuze on hysteria in Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation ([1981] 2003) and the qi theory in traditional Chinese medicine and argues that the Deleuzian conception of affect channels a lot of convergences, theoretically and philosophically, with qi in TCM, as both are vibrant, dynamic, and evolving destabilizing and restabilizing forces that always break through fixed organisms and boundaries.
Elmarie Costandius's experimental pedagogies challenged the stasis and restriction of top-down, monomodal, cerebral notions of learning, and of knowledge as handed down by experts. The shock delivered by her arts-based approaches was not explosive, but rather a set of vibrations that reconfigured what it means to experiment, traverse, reconfigure, and communicate in classroom events. Her pedagogies fostered encounters with doing, making, and intra-acting as embodied modalities of exploration-approaching new forms of knowing. This article unfolds from our attunement to this gesture of reaching outward. The closeness we seek to approximate emerges from our reaching out towards meaning, memory, and our sense of resonance with Elmarie and each other as kindred companions in thinkingdoingbecoming. We compose this article as a "processual monument" that pays homage to Elmarie's legacy by advocating for art-based and transmodal practices in higher education pedagogy and inquiry.
A pesquisa busca expandir o território quilombola para o ambiente digital, propondo a criação de um arquivo de memória colaborativa e um território virtual que atua como extensão protética do espaço físico. Práticas como a modelagem eletrônica e a cartografia afetiva oferecem suporte para preservar e comunicar o legado histórico e contemporâneo das comunidades quilombolas da Amazônia, promovendo continuidades culturais em novas espacialidades. Este estudo explora as interações materiais e não-materiais em um quilombo amazônico, incorporando uma abordagem arqueológica e digital para compreender a construção de identidades e a preservação do patrimônio quilombola. Utilizando métodos de observação de campo e análise material, examinamos fragmentos de cerâmica, latas de alumínio, chinelos e outros artefatos cotidianos, enfatizando a relevância de uma arqueologia do tempo presente e futuro. Conclui-se que a sobreposição de temporalidades e a transposição de elementos físicos para o virtual são cruciais na reinterpretação e gestão do patrimônio cultural, garantindo representatividade e continuidade identitária no contexto digital.
This is the first book that engages with the history of diagrams in physical, evolutionary, and genetic anthropology. Since their establishment as scientific tools for classification in the eighteenth century, diagrams have been used to determine but also to deny kinship between human groups. In nineteenth-century craniometry, they were omnipresent in attempts to standardize measurements on skulls for hierarchical categorization. In particular the ’human family tree’ was central for evolutionary understandings of human diversity, being used on both sides of debates about whether humans constitute different species well into the twentieth century. With recent advances in (ancient) DNA analyses, the tree diagram has become more contested than ever―does human relatedness take the shape of a network? Are human individual genomes mosaics made up of different ancestries? Sommer examines the epistemic and political role of these visual representations in the history of ‘race’ as an anthropological category. How do such diagrams relate to imperial and (post-)colonial practices and ideologies but also to liberal and humanist concerns?
The Diagrammatics of 'Race' concentrates on Western projects from the late 1700s into the present to diagrammatically define humanity, subdividing and ordering it, including the concomitant endeavors to acquire representative samples―bones, blood, or DNA―from all over the world. Contributing to the ‘diagrammatic turn’ in the humanities and social sciences, it reveals connections between diagrams in anthropology and other visual traditions, including in religion, linguistics, biology, genealogy, breeding, and eugenics.
This study formulates the basic premises of materialism, which has largely lost its visibility despite being one of the fundamental philosophical approaches that have been effective in the development of modern scientific practice and the construction of philosophy of science, in an alternative way, and aims to develop a new materialist interpretation of it that is non-reductive, pluralistic and open to the use of more than one scientific discipline. This interpretation, expressed with the term relational materialism, first addresses matter with the concept of signifier and foregrounds the concept of beable as the general philosophical category of matter. Secondly, it formulates the category of beable within the irreducible integrity of the categories of relationality, nonstaticity, and finitude; and positions knownability in terms of its correspondence to these general onto-epistemological categories. Thirdly, it clarifies the conditions of existence and knownability of particular entities under general categories based on specially corresponding onto-epistemological categories (interactability, structurability, contextuality, transformability, scale-dependency, actuality, contingency). In this respect, this study offers a pluralistic philosophical framework within which different methodological positions and scientific disciplines can be formulated and criticized based on combinations of different particular categories under general categories. In the conclusion of this article, the meaning and potential of relational materialism for the development of scientific research programs are evaluated.
The proposed article is aimed at conceptualizing the phenomenon of cinematic presence, as well as the search for possible components for its formation in the viewing experience. Presence, considered in the context of intersubjective interaction, will be viewed as a characteristic of the specific bodily relationships between the cinema and the viewers, as well as an essential aspect of the cinema itself. After analyzing both the fundamental texts theorizing this concept and the theoretical work of modern researchers in the field of cinema, as well as turning to experimental practices and slow cinema, the author deduces her own concept of cinematic presence. The article rejects the notion of presence as a state of involvement in the diegetic world. Instead, the author proposes to view it as distanced co-existence which makes it impossible for the viewer to fully immerse in the film space, but there is an opportunity to get an experience specific only to the situation of watching a film. Corporeality in the broader sense of the word plays an important role in the origin of the named experience. The described effect is themed through intimacy and closeness: viewers find themselves in a transit position, becoming a movie, when there is fusion, a loss of a sense of distance from the other, but at the same time the boundaries between their own body and the body of the film are preserved. The main thesis of the article is that the cinematic presence, grasped in the viewers’ experience, reveals itself not only and not much by exposing parts of the cinematic body, although the manifestation of the specific sensuality of the apparatus is the basis for the formation of presence. The experience of a collision with a cinema as such implies the perception of it as another, possessing agency and preventing the full disclosure of its essence.
The article addresses the experience of depth and volume of space as a key issue of sensory existence and, accordingly, a key issue of aesthetics. In Kant’s philosophy, space and time correlate and oppose each other as forms of external and internal feeling, however, for judging the reality of the world, the possibility of mutual reflection of space and time turns out to be fundamentally important. The depth of space opens up inside this reflection, so it actually becomes an expression of the principle of the real. Depth perception involves many forms of refraction and embedding of internal and external into each other, requiring careful phenomenological analysis, but the main question remains the location of consciousness in space. The experience of such an arrangement is given by a medium, whose role is a part of the body or a fragment of sensual openness to the world, which begins to be perceived as part of the world itself. In our perceptual experience, the distinction of sensory modes of reality (channels of perception) comes to the fore and the selection of one of them as a leader, which allows it to become a carrier of meanings belonging to other modes. The leading channel actually becomes a representative of the holistic experience of sensuality, and its isolation reveals the work of the medium hidden behind the surface of perception. As such a medium, a person acts as an attitude to the eventfulness of the world, a form of openness, which is due to a constant level of tension, mobilization of feeling, support for one sensory mode by another, readiness for perception. The work carried out by the medium leads to the emergence of an image as a form of entry into space and time, in which the sensual presence acquires its integrity. Aesthetic experience returns to the primary phenomenon of the presence in sensuality and the openness of sensuality to time and space, so that sensuality is lived not only as a given, but also as an opportunity for the subject to grow in relation to both himself and the world.
Bu çalışma, 21. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğini sarsan önemli olgulardan biri olan göç ve mültecilik konusuna dair Modernist Marksizmle karakterize olan geleneksel sol kavrayışın söylem ve pratiğine eleştiri getirmektedir. Orta Doğu’da sonlanamayan iç savaşlar, Rusya ile Ukrayna arasında büyüyen gerilimler, İsrail-Filistin hattındaki savaş, yeni sömürgecilik biçimleri ve kendinden yüksek sesle söz ettirmeye başlayan “iklim mülteciliği” meseleleriyle birlikte evrensel bir Marksizm iddiasındaki modernist sol paradigma ciddi bir sınavdan geçmektedir. Bu paradigma, öncelikle göç olgusunun kapitalizmin kendinde değil, kapma yoluyla çalışan bir kurucu dinamizmi olduğunu göz ardı etmektedir. İkincisi ise mevcut mülteci konusunu kapitalizmin krizinin bir sonucu şeklinde tasavvur ederek, tam tersine bunun bizatihi kendisinin kapitalizmi ve ulus-devletleri krize soktuğunu kaçırmaktadır. Bu iki hatanın odağında ise göç ve mülteciliği “edimsel şey durumu” olarak kavramak, onun virtüel akışlarını aramamak ve bir anlamda edimsel ile virtüeli birbirinden kopararak düşünmek yatmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak da göç ve mülteciliğin, politik bir öznellik olarak değil, mağduriyet çerçevesinde ele alınıp, “insanileştirilerek” nesneleştirildiği bir tablo, bu gruplar hakkında yalnızca yerli-yurtlulaştıklarında konuşulabileceği yönündeki anlayışa dayanarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bunun uzantısı ise göçmen ve mülteci grupların, direniş öznelliği içerisinden düşünülmemesidir. Toplumsal hareketlerin sahasında işçi sınıfı hareketi, kadın hareketi, öğrenci hareketi gibi örgütlü, kolektif bir direniş pratiğinin analizine dâhil edilmemeleridir. Başka bir ifadeyle güçlenmiş bir eylemliliğin odağında somut bir direniş çözümlemesinin öznelliği olarak görülmemeleridir. Bu, sanki kaçış çizgilerinden azade bir kolektif öznellik varmışçasına davranmaktır. Nihayetinde hepimiz Deleuze ve Guattari’den hareketle molar, moleküler ve kaçış çizgilerinden oluşmaktayız. Göçmen ve mülteciliğe yönelik derinlikli bir analiz birbirine içkin bu üç çizgi üzerinden bu grupların ele alınmasını gerektirir. Kaldı ki, son dönemde Avrupa’da ve Orta Doğu’da ivme kazanan toplumsal hareketlerin göçmen ve mültecilik üzerinden nasıl da yükseldiği aşikârdır.
As of today, archaeological theory is represented by numerous simultaneously developing approaches. Some of them feature the ways archaeological theory conceptualizes the past. Others are self-reflexive and explore the political and social dimensions of contemporary archaeological practice. However, these different ways to discuss today’s archaeology rarely approach it in a holistic way, while recent advances in the studies of arts and culture , namely metamodern studies, suggest another perspective and foster looking at archaeology as a whole, drawing connections between the philosophical aspects of archaeological knowledge and the social and cultural features of archaeology as practiced by 21st-century scholars.
This paper tests metamodernism as a theory capable of structuring and coherently describing contemporary archaeological practice. After outlining the most prominent structures of feeling of the 20th century – modernism and postmodernism, – it introduces metamodernism as a theoretical framework that describes the culture and society of 21st century. While this framework does not present any novel paradigm or suggest any new way of conducting archaeology, it aims to structure the existing practices more clearly. The paper explores the capacity of metamodern concepts to bridge posthumanism, actor-network theory, and epistemic scaffolding and reveals their logical connection to the structure of today’s archaeological research.
Keywords: metamodernism; oscillation; glocalization; posthumanism; capitalism; postmodernity; scaffolding.
This article introduces wind humanities as a burgeoning field, exploring how wind shapes experience, reasoning, artistic and knowledge production. It positions wind as a medium, model, and lived experience, drawing on environmental humanities, media studies, and artistic practice to investigate wind’s methodological, epistemological, and ontological implications for humanistic inquiry. The authors situate this emergent field within the broader environmental and elemental turn in the humanities and media studies, highlighting its connections to new materialism and its potential to transform our understanding of both wind and the elemental more broadly. They suggest a rich and evolving landscape of inquiry around wind, highlighting past work and introducing the ten contributions to this stream, which explore wind as media, model, and experience across military technology, volumetric poetry, a libretto, animacies, aesthetics, diffraction, environmental perception, risk communication, indigenous cosmologies, and energy infrastructure.
This is a brief intellectual autobiography which traces my theoretical development over sixty years from social anthropology to cultural studies, media studies and poststructuralism to the perennial problems of the human sciences.
Academia and its citizens, during periods of political violence and social conflict, are often overlooked. When attention is given, the focus tends to be on student activism, access to higher education, or curriculum development. The experiences of academics affected by conflict remain under-researched, despite the crucial role they play as educators and in generating, documenting, preserving and challenging knowledges. This is particularly concerning given that academics have−and continue to be−at risk as targets of sanction, persecution and oppression.
This edited volume seeks to address this gap by exploring, and evoking, the complexities of academic subjectivity, place and practice in contexts where intellectual and state authority are contested or in transition. It features contributions by academics, artists and memory activists who have stepped bravely outside of the parameters of their disciplines, with modes of enquiry and representation that include conversations, vignettes and case studies, critical ethnographies, oral life histories, interviews, poetry and collage. Within the ten chapters are consideration of conflicts within Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, England, Mexico, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Palestine, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Syria and Venezuela.
Being in Shadow and Light encourages a deeper understanding of academics’ navigation of these difficult conditions. The authors’ insider-outsider positioning brings forth the richness of ways through dilemmas−of omission, trauma, displacement, inheritance, injustice, distortion, desire. Grounding the many social, cultural, economic, and epistemic politics within academia, troubles the enclosure of ‘conflict’ in politics at the grand level, as if only within the realm of interest for state and international actors. Against sanitising the uncertainties and particularities of being an academic figure, the authors reflect on the states and sites of conflict as spaces which shape living.
This work is a call to recognize, document and study the often-overlooked subjectivities and contributions of academics thinking and practicing within societies undergoing conflict(s) and in their aftermath. As such, it will be of interest to academics, students and staff working within universities, as well audiences interested in intellectuals and institutions in contexts undergoing change.
