Deleuzoguattarian Thought, the New Materialisms, and (Be)Wild(Ering)
Deleuzoguattarian Thought, the New Materialisms, and (Be)wild(ering) Pedagogies: A Conversation between Chantelle Gray, Delphi Carstens, Evelien Geerts, and Aragorn Eloff Chantelle Gray North-West University Delphi Carstens University of the Western Cape Evelien Geerts University of Birmingham Aragorn Eloff Independent Researcher DOI: https://doi.org/10.1344/jnmr.v2i1.33383 Abstract This intra-view explores a number of productive junctions between contemporary Deleuzoguattarian and new materialist praxes via a series of questions and provocations. Productive tensions are explored via questions of epistemological, ontological, ethical, and political intra-sections as well as notions of difference, transversal contamination, ecosophical practices, diffraction, and, lastly, schizoanalysis. Various irruptions around biophilosophy, transduction, becomology, cartography, power relations, hyperobjects as events, individuation, as well as dyschronia and disorientation, take the discussion further into the wild pedagogical spaces that both praxes have in common.

The inspiration behind this particular intra-view was a workshop on Félix Guattari’s The Three Ecologies (2000) given at the Pedagogies in the Wild: The 2019 SA Deleuze & Guattari studies conference at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa, in December 2019.
