Gendering Place and Affect: Attachment, Disruption and Belonging
Unsettling Metronormativity: Locating Queer Youth in the Regions
Faith: A new materialist approach / Creideamh
This chapter develops a new materialist philosophy of faith. Through mobilising affect theory and writing from the new materialisms, Anna Hickey-Moody demonstrates how faith operates as both a form of what Spinoza (1996) calls ‘joy’ and, alternatively, what Lauren Berlant (2011) calls ‘cruel optimism’. Hickey-Moody shows that a change in the capacity to act (affect), such as that which is created through belief, is an experience that unites both …

Faith communities: Immanence, aesthetics and thinking through figures
In this paper, I draw on ethnographic fieldwork to develop a conversation between Deleuze and Guattari’s geophilosophy (Deleuze and Guattari in What is philosophy?, Verso Books, London, 1994: pp. 85–113) and concepts within and findings from empirical fieldwork exploring religion, faith and everyday belief systems. This leads to some new ways of thinking about faith and draws parallels between religion as a mode of ‘thinking through figures’ (199…
Family stories as resources for a decolonial culturally responsive pedagogy
Engagement with family stories, religious and community practices can change a teacher’s conception of thought. We propose teaching as thinking-with the world and teaching as thinking-with others. These terms draw on the philosophy of new materialist thinkers in expressing the ontological impacts of context and materiality. We explore the relationship between teaching and thinking as a distributed and engaged practice by investigating family stor…
Feminist affect and children's embodied trauma
Feminist new materialisms account for the agency of the body and the ways it is entangled with, in and through its environment. Similarly, affect scholars have putwords to the bodily feelings and attunements that we can’t describe. In this paper, we provide a brief survey of feminist thought that established the scholarly landscape and appetite for the turn to affect and offer this as a theoretical tool for thinking through the child body. Femini…
Rescripting Failure: The Reflexive Stories That Fieldwork Tells
Researching everyday media practices is a messy and tricky business fraught with uncertainty. In this panel the authors ask how stories of failure, especially during fieldwork, can be rethought as a meaningful emergent method and approach. How can we productively reframe failure as a core part of the research process that cannot be subsumed into the telos of a success story after the research has been completed? How does does failure work in rese…

Entanglements of Difference as Community Togetherness: Faith, Art and Feminism
Using a feminist, new materialist frame to activate ethico-political research exploring religion and gender at a community level both on Instagram and in arts workshops, we show how sharing ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, gender identities and sexualities through art practice entangles a diffraction of differences as 'togetherness'. Such entanglement creates cross-cultural interfaith understandings and gender diverse acceptance and inclusi…
Afterword: Practical and impractical philosophies; intuition and reason
Having good ‘reason’ to do something in no way determines the task will be done, or that undertaking the task will extend our capacities. As recent political events such as Brexit, the election of
A Femifesta for Posthuman Art Education: Visions and Becomings
This chapter revisits my concept of ‘affective pedagogy’ (Hickey-Moody, 2009, 2012) as a posthuman model of art education. In so doing, I mobilize the manifesto/manifesta/femifesta as a genre of feminist scholarship (Colman, 2008, 2014; Haraway, 1991; Lusty, 2008; Palmer, 2015). The manifesta, or femifesta (Palmer, 2015), has provided a model for advancing a call to action in scholarship, but also in popular culture. From Donna Haraway’s Cyborg M…
The Politics of Widening Participation and University Access for Young People: Making Educational Futures
Young people with tenuous relationships to schooling and education are an enduring challenge when it comes to addressing social inclusion, yet their experiences remain overlooked in efforts to widen participation in higher education. The Politics of Widening Participation and University Access for Young People examines the existing knowledges and feelings these young people have about higher education, and, through the authors’ empirical research…
Being different in public
In this article, the phrase ‘being different in public’ is used to think about people with disabilities in public culture. I argue for the cultural value of disability in an era of austerity arguably marked by an ableism that pushes people to ‘pass’ as not disabled. Such a lack of cultural value is remedied through the work of Disability Arts organizations, and I take the work of a British and an Australian Dance Theatre company as two of many po…
Students that just hate school wouldn’t go’: Educationally disengaged and disadvantaged young people’s talk about university education
This paper contributes to a growing body of literature on widening university participation and brings a focus on the classed and embodied nature of young people’s imagination to existing discussions. We interviewed 250 young people living in disadvantaged communities across five Australian states who had experienced disengagement from compulsory primary and secondary schooling. We asked them about their education and their educational futures, s…
Diffractive pedagogies: Dancing Across New Materialist Imaginaries
We theorise an interdisciplinary arts practice university course and consider the forms of educational imaginary challenged by our curriculum. We argue for the disruptive and generative potential of what we call diffractive pedagogy as an example of the type of learning that can take place when materiality and entanglement are considered as vital constituents. Through self-expression and interweaving across disciplinary boundaries, the potential …
Carbon Fibre Masculinity: Disability and Surfaces of Homosociality
This article examines material economies of carbon fibre as a prosthetic form of masculinity. The paper advances three main arguments. Firstly, carbon fibre can be a site in which disability is overcome, an act of overcoming that is affected through masculinized technology. Secondly, carbon fibre can be a homosocial surface; that is, carbon fibre becomes both a surface extension of the self and a third-party mediator in homosocial relationships, …

Geophilosophies of Masculinity: Remapping Gender, Aesthetics and Knowledge
Geophilosophy is a placeholder for things we cannot yet do, things we hope to do, and things that we have failed to do so far. This issue of Angelaki aspires towards ways of doing philosophy, geography and gender studies that stray from the analytical comforts of philosophical reasoning, and from the sociological certainties that dominate the study of masculinity. In particular, it brings a sexed and gendered body to extant Deleuze-Guattarian sch…
Youth, Arts, and Education: Reassembling Subjectivity Through Affect
How are the arts important in young people’s lives? Youth, Arts and Education offers a groundbreaking theory of arts education. Anna Hickey-Moody explores how the arts are ways of belonging, resisting, being governed and being heard. Through examples from the United Kingdom and Australia, Anna Hickey-Moody shows the cultural significance of the kinds of learning that occur in and through arts. Drawing on the thought of Gilles Deleuze, she develop…
Chapter 4 Affect as Method: Feelings, Aesthetics and Affective Pedagogy
Youth arts, place and differential becomings of the world
This article considers the cultural significance of youth arts projects outside dominant, policy-driven and popular cultural discourses of youth arts and creativity. The author takes up Deleuze's concept of creativity as the differential becoming of the world (Deleuze, Difference and Repetition), in order to argue that within dominant discourses of youth arts, fixed values become bound to the becoming of creativity. This produces a situation in w…
Disability matters: Pedagogy, Media and Affect
This edition of Discourse comes into being after two decades of engagement with the cultural politics of the body – through the arts, teaching, research and varied encounters with ‘disability’ ranging from the very personal to the professional. From the critique of ‘the medical model’ of disability undertaken during the early and mid-1990s, a ‘social model’ emerged, particularly in the caring professions and those trying to shape policy and pract…
Corporeal and sonic diagrams for cinematic ethics in Rolf De Heer'sDance Me to My Song
Rolf De Heer's 1997 Australian feature film Dance Me to My Song was devised with the late Heather Rose, a person with Cerebral Palsy. The film also features a central performance by Heather (as the character of Julia) and is clearly about ‘her world’. The ethic of engagement exemplified by this film resonates with what Gerard Goggin has termed an ‘ethics of listening’ that entails ‘listening-as-if-disability-mattered’. This article takes up Deleu…

Spatialized leisure-pleasures, global flows and masculine distinctions
Drawing from our 'place-based global ethnographies' of out-of-the-way places in Australia, this paper explores ways that spatialized leisure-pleasures inform the production of intergenerational masculinities in globalizing remote places. We examine three kinds of amusement and three accompanying shades of masculinity; the sacrosanct, subversive and scorned. Sacrosanct masculinities involve spatially embedded, culturally sanctified leisure-pleasur…

Little War Machines: Posthuman Pedagogy and its Media
The article examines Deleuze’s, and Deleuze and Guattari’s, theories of affect. In so doing, it argues that the materiality of affect, as a meta-subjective exchange, can be considered a posthuman pedagogy. Three different media (literature, music, and dance) are explored as examples of this material exchange. As an affective exchange, encounters with literature, music, and dance might be considered a posthuman form of education. This is because, …

Virtually sustainable: Deleuze and desiring differenciation in Second Life
Introduction 'The virtual is opposed not to the real but to the actual'. (Deleuze 1994, 208). As this quote reminds us, virtual possibilities and worlds are real. As a limited actual articulation of the virtual, experiences in online virtual worlds constitute substantive components of the assemblage of subjectivity for the people about whom we write. Virtual worlds also provide possibilities for the actualization of ranges of experiences that are…

Folding The Flesh Into Thought
In this article I explore an interface between integrated dance theatre practice, creative philosophy and select medical and sociological discourses. I do so in order to reconsider the politics of thinking about intellectual disability. I employ the phrase “integrated dance theatre” to discuss dance theatre devised and performed by people who identify as being with and without intellectual disability. In contexts other than this article, the term…

Un-containable Affects: Disability and the Edge of Aesthetics
A review of Ato Quayson, Aesthetic Nervousness: Disability and the Crisis of Representation (Columbia University Press, New York, 2007
Deleuze and Queer Theory
This collection of work introduces a major shift in debates on sexuality: a shift away from discourse, identity, and signification, to a radical new conception of bodily materialism. Moving away from the established path known as queer theory, it suggests an alternative to Judith Butler's matter/representation binary. The book thus dares to ask how to think sexuality and sex outside the discursive and linguistic context that has come to dominate …
Place-Based Global Ethnography
Numerous Internet sites and web-based newspapers tell stories of economic and industrial change in the US town of Philomath in Oregon. These electronically mediated accounts illustrate the ways in which timber corporations virtually annihilated the forests surrounding the North American country town and neighbouring smaller logging towns. This corporately engineered environmental devastation was precipitated by the rise of mechanization in the ti…
