This open access book analyzes language education through a
socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as
researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from
the main focus of research activities and giving way to the
materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our
research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist
realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as
an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world
and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the
perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality,
and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter explores language
educational contexts through a unique lens of (socio)materiality.
Based on how the authors conceptualize (socio)materiality, the book
is organized in three sections that seek answers to the following
overarching questions: In what ways do material agencies emerge in
language educational contexts? How are educational choices and
experiences intertwined with materialities of spaces and bodies?
What assemblages of human and non-human may occur in language
education contexts? Each chapter questions, in its own way, the
notion of the human subject as rational, enlightened being and sole
possessor of agency, and offers examples of allowing for
other-than-human agency to enter the picture. Together, the
contributors exemplify how researchers who have been committed to
social constructionist thinking for most of their careers learn to
make space for new theories, thus inspiring and encouraging readers
to remain open for new intellectual and embodied endeavors.
