Through a series of exquisite encounters with children, and through
a lucid opening up of new aspects of poststructuralist theorizing,
Bronwyn Davies opens up new ways of thinking about, and
intra-acting with, children. This book carefully guides the reader
through a wave of thought that turns the known into the unknown,
and then slowly, carefully, makes new forms of thought
comprehensible, opening, through all the senses, a deep
understanding of our embeddedness in encounters with each other and
with the material world. This book takes us into
Reggio-Emilia-inspired Swedish preschools in Sweden, into the
author's own community in Australia, into poignant memories of
childhood, and offers the reader insights into: new ways of
thinking about children and their communities; the act of listening
as emergent and alive; ourselves as mobile and multiple subjects;
the importance of remaining open to the not-yet-known. Defining
research as diffractive, and as experimental, Davies' relationship
to the teachers and pedagogues she worked with is one of
co-experimentation. Her relationship with the children is one in
which she explores the ways in which her own new thinking and being
might emerge, even as old ways of thinking and being assert
themselves and interfere with the unfolding of the new. She draws
us into her ongoing experimentation, asking that we think hard, all
the while delighting our senses with the poetry of her writing, and
the stories of her encounters with children.
