Ma is a curriculum. The Japanese concept of ma refers to the
interval between two markers. Ma is somatically constructed by a
deliberate, attentive consciousness to what simultaneously is
expressed, repressed, or suppressed between two structures. In a
dialectic exploration, the spaces between-private/public,
teacher/student, old/new, self/other, among others-are probed in
ways that contribute to the significant research in teaching and
learning that has been undertaken in the last few decades. Material
culture is the study of belief systems, behaviours, and perceptions
through artefacts and physical objects and is central to the
socialization of human beings into culture. The analysis of
cultural materials offers sites for concretizing the self and the
self in context. New materiality challenges assumptions and cliches
and allows for possibilities not yet imagined, perhaps even
inconceivable possibilities. New materiality approaches accept that
matter itself has agency. As such, this book investigates the
intersections at the core of ma, engagements wherein the
investigations create something new, in order to demonstrate the
layers of the teaching and learning self. Interpretations of the
concept of ma articulate new definitions to improve the conditions,
practices, products, and pedagogies of being a teacher/learner in
the twenty-first century. Ma is a site for epistemological
understandings, threshold learnings, and self and curriculum
becomings.

A brilliant and daring piece of scholarship, this book will raise
eyebrows and spark much debate. It does not simply break new
ground, it breaks all the rules ultimately compelling us to examine
and embrace scholarship in fresh, innovative ways. Seeing Red is
based on Pauline Sameshima's doctoral dissertation, Winner of the
2007 Arts Based Educational Research (ABER) Outstanding
Dissertation Award by the American Educational Research Association
(AERA). This award is for the best dissertation that explores, is
an exemplar of, and pushes the boundaries of arts based educational
research. The book showcases a PhD dissertation written in the form
of an epistolary bildungsroman a didactic novel of personal
developmental journeying. The work is a fiction (letters from a
graduate student to the professor she is in love with) embedded in
developmental understanding of living the life of a teacher
researcher. The work shares the possibilities of how artful
research informs processes of scholarly inquiry and honours the
reader's multi-perspective as integral to the research project's
transformative potential. Parallax is the apparent change of
location of an object against a background due to a change in
observer position or perspective shift. The concept of parallax
encourages researchers and teachers to acknowledge and value the
power of their own and their readers and students' shifting
subjectivities and situatedness which directly influence the
constructs of perception, interpretation, and learning. The novel
format ties themes and characters together just as storytelling can
bind theory and practice. Norman Denzin (2005) supports the
pedagogical and libratory nature of the critical democratic
storytelling imagination. He hails this book as ..". bold,
innovative, a wild, transformative text, ... almost unruly, a new
vision for critical, reflexive inquiry." The love story and issues
of teacher/learner role boundaries are controversial and largely
unspoken of in educational settings and the letter format is
voyeuristic. In this sense, the audience is being given a peek, a
look at the unrevealed. One of the advantages of the epistolary
novel is its semblance of reality and the difficulty for readers to
distinguish the text from genuine correspondence (Wurzbach, 1969).
The genre allows the reader access to the writing character's
intimate thoughts without perceived interference from the author's
manipulation and conveys events with dramatic and sensational
immediacy (Carafi, 1997).
