Abstract

Pedagogic posthuman assemblagesAssemblage are a generative means for exploring entanglementsEntanglement of affectAffect that circulate through humans and non-humans. In this chapter, we include a poetic account of our posthuman pedagogicPosthuman pedagogies research practice that leverages our work as feminist scholars in the academy. Through the curation of an uneasy assemblageUneasy assemblage, and its presentation as an affective choreographyAffective choreography, we juxtapose the personal and political, the biographical, the technological and the sociological. The uneasy assemblageUneasy assemblage, comprising images, media articles and reported responses to scandals from the public, deterritorialisesDeterritorialisation qualitative research practice, and allows for an interrogation of how affectAffect mobilises in the form of gendered violence. This research work, generated through a feminist process of slowSlow/slowness musings, underpinned a conference presentation that was conceptualised as an affective choreographyAffective choreography. In taking up an imaginative posthuman approach, we rethink our embodimentEmbodiment in assemblages and entanglementsEntanglement across a range of spacesSpace/place: higher educationHigher education spaces; pedagogic spaces at conferences; cyber spaces; and schooling spaces. This pedagogic practiceEmbodied practice in higher education embraces vital materialism.
