Classroom Reading as a Battle of the Sensory. Bodily Dimensions of Unshared Reading in Primary Education
Primary classrooms are dynamic spaces where young students learn to read and develop as readers. While reading inherently fosters an individual interaction with a text, its manifestation in a classroom transforms reading into a collective activity. This study explores young students' simultaneous, collective participation during private, unshared reading in the classroom, aiming to illuminate bodily practices of reading and discuss their relation…
How to do things with food
This study examines the local enactment of mealtime rules during everyday family dinners. The data is approached through multimodal interaction analysis and through concepts which reconceptualize materiality and agency. The study found that mealtime rules were generated and sometimes sustained in the continuous interaction between parents, children and food and mealtime things, especially in relation to material textures, for example liquid, soli…
Closer to far away
This paper studies how transnational children and their distantly located but emotionally close family members recreate their relationship using applications for online video calling. The focus is on the interaction of bodies and language, and if/how proximity of any kind is enabled. A critical posthumanist applied linguistics is embraced and communication is viewed as a bodily coordination ocurring in real time. This includes a material and dyna…
Minor (il)literate artworks
This article explores material-semiotic movements of literacy and the collective potentials of an estranged relationship to language in early childhood bilingual education. It engages three different situations from a bilingual, Spanish-Swedish early childhood institution in Sweden with notions of a minor literature, as it appears in Deleuze and Guattari’s writings. This engagement puts forward the material presences of language as well as the cr…
Playing the game and speaking the right language
What are the material-semiotic relationships between a language policy and a table game activity in a bilingual preschool? Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the aim of this article is to explore this question, working with both human and nonhuman aspects of the activity, symmetrically, at the same level. The game playing activity takes place at a bilingual, Spanish-Swedish preschool in Sweden, which adopts a 50-50 approach in daily interaction. I…
The matter of silence in early childhood bilingual education
The relationship between silence as non-speech and bilingualism in early childhood education is intricate. This article maps this relationship with the help of diverse theoretical entrances to a video-recorded everyday episode from a bilingual (Spanish–Swedish) preschool in Sweden. Though this, three alternative readings of silence are produced. Thinking with Deleuzian philosophy, the aim is to consider how the different readings of silence requi…
