Our Little Land and the Urgency of Showing, Not Telling, Our Subjectivities
Reinertsen, Anne Beate; Otterstad, Ann Merete; Ben-Horin, Oded
Policy Futures in Education, v12 n1 p137-148 2014
This is a collaborative writing story in which songs and poems invite us into complexities of living the ideals and calling for new ways of making the world visible. I need to show you who I am. You need to show me who you are. They are never completed, always open to self and social reflection, and hopefully capable of pushing boundaries of both our personal and collective imaginations and struggles against injustice and xenophobia, wherever they might be, further. We have a focus on becomings rather than belongings. Poems, music, pictures and lyrics, layout and stream-of-thought writing blend with materialist and social science discourses: we need "noise" and "pulse" in our systems to make them function. Noise is creative. Noise is difficult, but not necessarily a threat.
