This textscape of image, sound, and movement, a discursive braiding of three texts, is a project of “writing the Other.” We attempt to interrupt the binary idea of text as a mode of representation militating against artistic consideration, against art, and offer an example of writing with difference, with rawness, with raw aesthetic.

 

 

 

About the Authors

 

Alexandra Fidyk is an assistant professor in the Educational Foundations and Inquiry Department at National-Louis University in Chicago. Other arts-based work has appeared at CSSE, IERG and the Curriculum and Pedagogy conferences. Her work draws from imaginal thinking, Jungian and Buddhist thought and aims to address borderland and shadow spaces of the personal and collective and in-between our teaching and living practices.

 

Jason Wallin is a doctoral candidate and Killam scholar studying in the Department of Secondary Education at the University of Alberta, where he teaches courses in visual studies, media, and art education. Jason’s academic work experiments with new ways of thinking pedagogy, youth culture, and ethics in a post human (post-Oedipal, post-structural, post-phenomenological) ‘age.’ In this endeavor, Jason’s curriculum theorizing strikes a friendship with both the philosophy and ‘volcanic’ philosophical lineage mobilized by Gilles Deleuze (Spinoza, Bergson, Tarde, Nietzsche, Simondon, etc.), though which Jason attempts to think the unthought in pedagogy.
