Kroppslige/materielle tilblivelser: tempo, energi og affekt i barnehagen

Abstract

The article discusses how a researcher can develop knowledge positions that give value to the movements of bodies and objects through physical processes of becoming in kindergarten. Becoming is
about thinking differently than I usually do as I ask myself whether physical at all can be organized and
be subject to representation. I’m trying out an analysis strategy that is based on a
poststructuralist/posthumanistic methodology in which the concepts tempo, energy and affect are central. Studying the movements of bodies and objects here exemplified through the material world by including water, tears, leaves, sun, chairs and doors, opens up physical/material becoming.
