Wanderings of the nomadic subject: on becoming, relationality and interdependency as a space of subject's autonomy in education

<ns3:p>In recent years, the voices of representatives of agential realism and new materialism (Latour, DeLanda, Barad) have become increasingly important in the field of scientific reflection and social theory. The paradigm change has resulted in shifting a strong interest on the language, meaning, text and discourse towards lived, real body and matter experiences rooted in everyday life in connection with the natural world, but also the world of things, artefacts or new technologies. This ontological turn towards the multiplicity and diversity of material-discursive entities also inspires researchers in educational studies (Adams St.Pierre, Masny, Semetsky, Taylor and Hughes, Chutorański i Makowska, Chutorański) in the field of which I situate the presented article. It aims to show the most important theoretical assumptions of contemporary philosophical currents, which create different contexts for rethinking and reconfiguring both discursive and material aspects of human subjectivity, difference, identity, relations between different entities or, finally, practices of producing knowledge and arranging educational reality. Pedagogical reflection, research and educational practices inspired by a new paradigm make possible to transcend the limitations of critical currents which mainly focus on the social oppression and exclusions inevitably determining the identity of the subjects. It allows to rethink education as a dynamic process of generating the communities of learning, building relationships and connections that, apart from the limitations also arouse impulses for the perpetual actualization and realization of potential forces existing in the very subject.</ns3:p>
