CA/R/TOGRAPHIES OF DESIRE:
KNITTING AS THEORIZING ON PRODUCTIVE FORCES IN EDUCATION

As an academic my arts based education research - ABER (Eisner
1998) often challenges dissemination preferences, particularly
in the domain of education research (Barone, 2008). I explore
the complex relationships between different ways of knowing
to work through and push MLT (Masny 2008) concepts, and to advocate
for diverse literacies in education contexts.
I undertake a/r/tographic (Irwin & Springgay, 2008) artistic
working as a process for theorizing. A/r/tographic working interrogates
networks of activity that spring forth from teaching, researching,
creating and focuses on ways of knowing, doing and making. It
enables production in different domains, practices and activities
because it seeks out moments of tension as these faculties collide
and intercept.
Knitted cardigans, baby trousseaus are a form of skin-making;
a covering and close mapping – a cartography of the body
frame. They envelop and when they are taken off they are pregnant
with becoming, with the movements they flowed through, undertook
with the body within them. They are brimming with forces, desirings,
shiftings, manipulations.
A series of knitted skins; bodies without organs (Deleuze &
Guattari, 1980/1987) are presented as recent works that form
physical manifestations of my interest and exploration of Deleuzian
and Guattarian concepts. These are literally bodies without
organs, but offer residence to “the field of immanence
of desire” (p.170) each viewer chooses to attach to them.
Deleuze and Guattari (1980/1987) discuss the extreme desirings
of masochists, drug users, schizophrenics and lovers. These
knitted body shells resonate with frustrated desirings, “intensive
principles of organs, with their positive indefinite articles,
within a collectivity or multiplicity, inside an assemblage”
(p. 182).
Knitting takes on embodied practice (Irwin & Springgay,
2008) and becomes research, investigation, theorization. The
knitting of the wool, the looping, crossing, hooking connects
to the project rationale and engages in rhizomatic ca/r/tographing
of the body without organs (Deleuze & Guattari 1980/1987).
As they are produced and the knitting leaves the needles it
falls to the floor as a knitted sack, a rhizomatic after-event.

CE QUE LES JEUNES HAÏTIENS PENSENT DES LANGUES...

/ The presentation is in French
Dans cette présentation, nous aborderons les représentations
entretenues à l’égard des langues chez 11
jeunes Haïtiens de Montréal scolarisés en
langue seconde et l’existence d’une relation entre
ces représentations et l’apprentissage de l’écrit
en français langue seconde. Bien que cette recherche
soit exploratoire, les résultats soulignent que la majorité
d’entre eux reconnaissent une forme d’égalité
des langues sur les plans linguistique et communicationnel.
Cependant, en ce qui a trait au créole, il semble que
cette égalité soit plus difficile à édifier
au regard du français, notamment chez les enfants qui
ont plus de difficultés à appréhender la
langue écrite.

EXPLORING CANADIAN NEWCOMERS’ ACCESS
TO THE INTERNET
Catrina Ascenuik, Faculty of Education
Le mardi 8 novembre 2011
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011
16h30 à 18h00 / 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Pavillon Lamoureux, local 477 / Lamoureux Hall, Room 477
This presentation highlights the results of a
study, which explored a group of newcomers’ access to the
Internet. The purpose of this study was to discover how the distribution
of resources within and outside an Enhanced Language Training
(ELT) program affected a group of newcomers’ access to Internet
literacy development. The four kinds of access examined were motivational,
material/physical, skills, and usage access. This qualitative
case study is based on van Dijk’s Digital Divide framework
(2005), and Warschauer’s Model of Social Inclusion (2004).
The eight themes found in this study will be discussed, along
with an analysis of how the data found in this study can be implemented
in the curriculum used in ELT classrooms. The presentation will
be in English.
