Speculative Methodologies & Emergent Literacies: Walking Speculative Methodologies & Emergent Literacies: Walking & Writing as Research-Creation by Sarah Elizabeth Truman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Curriculum Studies & Teacher Development, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education Book History & Print Culture, Massey College University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah E. Truman, 2017 Speculative Methodologies & Emergent Literacies: Walking & Writing as Research-Creation Sarah Elizabeth Truman Doctor of Philosophy Curriculum Studies & Teacher Development, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education Book History & Print Culture, Massey College University of Toronto 2017 Abstract My dissertation develops, extends, and experiments with theories of emergence to think ethico- politically about cultural productions, literacy practices, and pedagogies. Theoretically informed by process philosophy, new materialisms, and affect theories this dissertation focuses on three reading, writing, and walking research-creation events. The first research-creation event is a multi-participant marginalia project inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s ‘eternal return’ (an ‘affirmation’ that emerged during a walk). The second research-creation event is an in-school project with high school English students that centers on emergent publics, literacies, and ethico-political matters of concern that arose through walking and writing. The third research-creation event is a long-distance walking- writing post-card project that queers the relationship between walking, chance encounters, and the politics of saying yes to whatever turns up. I employ a more-than-representational approach to writing as a further engagement with theories of emergence and their relevance to qualitative research methodologies in the field of education. & ii Acknowledgments Three significant people in my life died while I wrote this dissertation. My maternal grandmother, Anne Donnelly Brothers, my cat, Lonesome, and my best teacher and friend David H. Forsee. They supported my writing in the past. I miss them all. Thank you to my colleagues and professors at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and at Massey College for thinking-with me these past four years. Thank you to my fellow co-editors of Pedagogical Matters (Nathan Snaza, Debbie Sonu, and Zofia Zaliwska) for co-theorizing with me when we put the book together. Thank you also colleagues and friends affiliated with WalkingLab and Hamilton Perambulatory Unit – our itinerant walking and reading groups, bush salons, and various research events have all impacted my thinking and writing. Thank you to the many participants who were part of the three research-creation events in this dissertation including the 30+ people who engaged with Intratextual Entanglements, and the 18 students at Llyn High School. And a particular thank you to David Shannon who walked St. Cuthbert’s Way with me and the various more-than-human strangers we encountered en route. Thank you to the External Examiner Susan Searls Giroux, and the Internal Examiners Aparna Mishra Tarc and Kathy Bickmore, for all of your generous and provocative questions and comments. Thank you Rob Simon for your patient and insightful comments throughout this dissertation project and beyond. Thank you Peter Trifonas for your piercing and humourous propositions to always think-further with philosophy. Thank you Stephanie Springgay, the dearest and most intelligent supervisor ever! You demonstrate what feminist collaboration in academe can be and continually inspire my scholarship. I look forward to walking-thinking-writing with you in the future. & iii iv Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgments ................................................................................................................................. iii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................................... v “And” ...................................................................................................................................................... 1 Research Questions ............................................................................................................................................................. 3 Chapter 1 ................................................................................................................................................. 4 Toward Theories of Emergence: A Literature Review .......................................................................... 4 What are the ‘New’ Materialisms? ..................................................................................................................................... 6 Emergent Bodying ............................................................................................................................................................... 9 More-than-human ............................................................................................................................................................. 13 Intra-action ....................................................................................................................................................................... 18 If everything is constantly emerging, how do we account for ethics? ....................................................................................... 21 Stir the Virtual (Deleuze’s Difference, Actual & Virtual) .............................................................................................. 26 How do you think in terms of problems?

Drawing on the video and audio data 18 university students created over the course of four years, this study investigates how students’ literacies flow as they physically move across the shifting contexts of school, home, community, and work. Through video production, student collaborators showed how they create meaning and connection between and within unstable literate landscapes through their emergent material/discursive practices of writing, reading, communicating, and translating. This study also explores how these literacy flows are regulated iii and valued as they move and how the persons who use them come to matter. In this study, three key findings emerge: 1) Feminist and anti-oppressive research methods, such as participatory video, open up space for participants to negotiate their racial and gendered representations, giving them control over how they matter and what they create matters to the discipline 2) Through the process of filming, literacies emerge as mattering, both in how they materialize and hold personal significance.

  • ICT in the Early Years (Learning and Teaching with Information
    ITC IN THE EARLY YEARS Mary Hayes and David Whitebread ● How can computers and other ICT applications be most effectively used to support learning in early years settings? ● Why is it important that young children use ICT in ways which are O playful, creative and explorative? ● What research has been carried out about young children using computers and ICT, and what does this tell us? PEN ICT in the Early Years carefully considers the potential of ICT to provide opportunities for young children to learn through playful and creative activities, examining research and practice in relation to the educational uses of ICT with young children. The book raises important issues about teaching in the early years using ICT, such as giving pupils control, co-operative working, access and assessment. U In addition, it: McGraw - HillMcGraw Education ● Recounts recent research evidence ● NIVERSITY Provides practical ideas for early years teachers ● Provokes debate about the future of ICT in early years education The book’s focus is on research outcomes, viewed through discussion of practical classroom approaches, with the pupil viewed as a competent learner and assessor. Emphasis is placed on creative and playful aspects of ICT, with the child as an active agent authoring, experimenting, and creating, rather than passively receiving. ICT in the Early Years is essential reading for teachers and teachers in training, and is also of use to other associated professionals, such as classroom assistants, home educators and nursery teachers. Parents with an interest in the use of technology in education will also find the book of genuine interest.

  • What Do Computer Games Have to Do with Libraries and Learning?
    What do computer games have to do with Libraries and learning? How to engage and connect learners of different age groups and with different interests using computer games as the vehicle for learning. Marie O’Brien Manager Library Services ELTHAM College of Education Australia Two teachers have undertaken a project in which year five and six students design computer games and year ten to twelve students build them. The younger students are taught basic flow diagram techniques and thus patterns of logic. They then select a topic of personal interest for their game design. The game is in the form of a quest for the player and must contain material that has been researched using Library resources. The complete, fully documented game designs are passed to the senior Information Technology students who produce them. All students are fully and formally accredited for their work. Introduction Games have been played for as long as human kind has existed and have been used in educational settings for many years as a means of engaging students with learning. In the latter half of the 20th century computer games began to appear in the public arena at a time when advances in technology saw the advent of the microchip, and the subsequent emergence of the personal computer onto the world market. Since then computer programmers have progressed from being generic programmers to working in specialized areas of programming, one of which is gaming. “Since the invention of computers, computer games have been a popular form of entertainment. Children and adults have enjoyed playing computer games and do so now on a massive scale” (Denny).

  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.
