This book offers a close and detailed account of the emergent and
creative pedagogies of children learning together in a small,
not-for-profit preschool, and the entangled becomings of their
carers as well as the researcher-artist-author. The mutually
affecting and inseparable realities of the 'material' and the
'discursive' are made visible through lively and sensual
pedagogical invention by a group of five-year olds in the
inner-city preschool which is located in Johannesburg, South
Africa. These small, local stories are recognized in their
emergence with global geopolitical realities. The author makes a
valuable contribution to post-qualitative research through the use
of visual research methods and non-representational approaches to
working with knowledge. The book draws on the constantly evolving
practices of Philosophy for Children (P4C) and Reggio Emilia both
as pedagogical tools and as research methods. Photographs and
stills from video footage provide a sense of the relatively modest
material environment of the school. The book celebrates the
considerable richness of the involvement of the children and the
enormous possibilities offered by the world both inside and outside
of the classroom when an enquiry-led art-based pedagogy is
followed. Drawings and other products created by the children in
the study offer valuable insight into the depth and complexity of
their engagement with their worlds, both individual and
collaborative.
