En a/r/tografs tilblivelse: En re-konseptualisering av egen profesjonsforståelse

Through an a/r/tographic approach, I have explored what happens when sensory and exploratory processes with clay are opened up in early childhood teacher education, and what implications this has for me as an a/r/tographer. The article is grounded in three clay events together with the a/r/tographer’s experiences, both as a professional practitioner and as a human being. With clay as the focal point, I have navigated a landscape of various perspectives related to pedagogical and creative processes: Embodied phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty, 1995), agential realism (Barad, 2007), and process philosophy (Deleuze & Guattari, 2005). Although these perspectives are positioned differently in terms of scientific theory and philosophy, they all offer important insights into understanding what has taken place. Photo: Jørgen Moe
