Collage-Cyborg-CollectiveBiography is an affective, situated proposition for researching academic subjectivities within the neoliberal university. Drawing on feminist affect theory, the study understands research as a living political practice emerging from everyday embodied academic encounters. Rather than applying predefined methods, this proposition unfolds through an articulation of diverse collective, theoretical-methodological, and experimental practices that foreground vulnerability, fragmentation, and relationality as epistemic resources. By tracing how affects circulate between bodies, institutions, and embodied memories, we explore how inhabiting the affective fractures involving discomfort, death, and life beyond academia can open cracks for epistemic disobedience, resistance, and alternative ways of knowing
