What does reading together produce? As we read A Thousand Plateaus together, Deleuze and Guattari butted into our dreams, our art-making, and our everyday lives. We found that their concepts were active, blurring the lines between theory, method and art. In this paper, we follow these invasions and interruptions of our thinking and living, collecting and discussing them as artefacts that help us make sense of reading and writing together as methodological, theoretical, artful inquiry. By taking up and sharing artefacts--fragments of encounters, snapshots of artmaking, quotes from novels or poetry that embedded in our conversations about haecceity and becoming, and traces of texts sent back and forth in the intervening weeks between our meeting--we dwell within the momentary becomings of reading together. We invite the reader to think with us about these artefacts and encounters and to make their own connections between theory, reading, and (academic) life. We linger in the practice of reading to wonder together, what does this do, how does this work, what does this produce (in methodology, in pedagogy, in research?). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
