“The single-minded commitment to relationality makes it possible to explore strange and heterogenous links and follow surprising actors to equally surprising places.

While trying to crack posthuman pedagogy, the ideas put forward by Gough (2004) struck me as potentially good guidelines. Toward the end of his paper, he criticises the Cyborg Manifesto, which, in his opinion, although firmly grounded in situated knowledge, cyborg ontology and border pedagogy lacks the art, the humour and the paradox of Deleuze...

The term visual turn stuck to me the moment I heard it, mostly because of its interpretive openness and democracy of relations with no embedded subordination. The visual syntax resembles a rhizome more than a Chomskyan tree. Visually, the day is ‘a day of encountering significant objects rather than action-events’ (Kress, 2005). A day … ...

The main protagonist of this story is neither a man nor a machine. Instead, it’s a cyborg – a cybernetic organism which combines metal and flesh, carbon and silicon, genetic code and computer code. What’s more, this cyborg does not come to us from the depths of imagination. The cyborg is you. Annotations:...
