Democracy and social justice are at stake. It is about always questioning authority but never taking authority away from anybody. Thus it is an attempt, an example, or writing towards a deauthorized and double(d) perspective of both research and reform in schools. It is a messy text trying to create more, however, not running to meet anybody. It is an argument for turning us all into language workers, and society into a language society, rather than the knowledge workers and the knowledge society we predominantly speak of today.

They are recursive and “unselfed” (Iris Murdoch; 1919-1999). Simone Weil’s (1909-1943) onto-political concepts of (world) “attention” and “decreation” as a willed dissolution of the subjective ego are good to thinkfeel with. Accordingly, such approaches are about a scienced-up me producing myself through using knowledges without fear and my will born from it: My personal accountability and authenticity is pivotal: Mymethods: They are about the wrong pedagogy, and thus, always integrating failure as an important part of any activity. They are about word making for reimagining democratic societies; a new era of personal and social responsibility and learning democracy: Mylanguages: It is a member’s methods; My Own (Stirner, 2012) methods and from here; I am my own to thinkfeel with and me showing me Myforces and Mychanges.

The author rhizomatically tries to lay everything out on a plane of exteriority – on a single page, the same sheet: lived events, historical determinations, theories, philosophies, stories, concepts, individuals, groups, social formations, and her desires. Scene One is from Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus and is about censuring. Scene Two is from Robert M Pirsig’s story Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values. The third scene (and all scenes) is a DeleuzoGuattarian fabulation, writing qualia becoming quality and hopefully transgressing universal quality measuring projects that are addressing specific professionals and/or preschools or child/ren/hoods, where early child/hood is ultimately seen as a matrix of becoming and early childhood education centres as translocal places preparing for future contingent events. The author tries to provide a chance to see better the airy void around us – to see beneath the stucco surface of the purely phenomenal, insubstantial character of the everyday world – so as to enjoy fleeting quality life all the more, at least for a moment. The author is initiating new discourses on childhood – ultimately, children’s political subject formations.

It is an attempt to communicate the challenges of but also the joy of attempting to realize different ways of approaching the meeting points between these fields: performing dramatic representations and shapings of research and advocating for what we want and see needed. Poems, music, and lyrics and layout, graphics, and stream-of-thought writing blend with standard social science discourse, hopefully creating new angles, possibilities, methods, performative communication concepts, and reasonings.

Our perspectives are different but what we have in common is a wish to explore and contribute to educational innovation. Through knowledge brokering, we try to create openings toward expanded meaning fields nourishing valuable diversities of onto-epistemic cultures ultimately preparing students for fugitive futures. Our project is complex and pluriverse like any brokering process for Other and innovation might be. Both method and means however are simple: Through using the concept of oxymoron ing as a rhetorical and epigrammatic device for revealing paradox and through this taking part in polysemantic ambiguity, new concepts, knowledges, and habits are possibilized. Through a montage of thoughts, theories, and stories, hopefully thinking for innovation is given a constant continuation.

It is about becoming (educator) in the urgency of hesitancy and doubt, thus building in creative dense dynamics from the start possibilizing immanent critique practices. I call it material eco/edu/criticism. In our neoliberal rationalisms and times, I indirectly ask questions about the (social) status of hesitancy in both education and research introducing methodological and epistemological concerns into expectations of certainty and knowing hopefully toppling hierarchical expectations and dichotomous notions bringing forth complexity and ambiguousness as strength and a force in our practices: Quality qualia embodied research and teaching and/or body as profession. It is a move from language-based translation to not-only-language-based transduction perhaps and/or simultaneous language and matter assessment literacy. The way I see this—and my desire; this is all about how new materialist approaches can be applied to foster and build cultures of innovation.

That is what this assemblage is about: about trying to take seriously the minor politics of sensing, experimenting with questions of attending and attuning to difference, contestation, nomadism, relationality, and permeability in sensing cultivating muchness, newness, communities of acceptance and decision making. Going beyond the binaries, dualisms, instrumentalist criteria, etc., and supplying third space conceptions of agency not tied to human action alone, but rather examining human and more-than human relational assemblages of affecting and being affected. The tasks for educators becoming not merely people who pass on traditions, institutions, systems and/or structures, but prepare for future contingent events ultimately creates vital pedagogies of many prospects in our classrooms and exceeds forms of contracts between generations. These are embodied ecologies and/or enacting ecologies in practice showing the practical and political strength of new materialisms and presenting its potential and usefulness to simultaneously work and analyse local and global political strategies and sustainability. Making virtuality productive as a form of life: our wonderings are thus always stronger than our assertions. The sometimes fierce stories in this book might light some paths.
