Alice’s adventures: Reconfiguring solidarity in early childhood education and care through data events
Abstract
In this chapter, we textually enact Guattari’s transversality by charting the affects and intensities of a curated tea party performed at an educational research conference through a series of data events. We embrace (k)not-knowing, complexity, chaos, and desiring nonsense as depicted by Lewis Carroll’s Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. We experiment with Alice’s cartographies, temporalities, geographies, and bodies to generate spaces for more-than/other-than-human child/hoods. In doing so, we embrace and embody curious transversals in an attempt to rupture understandings of how early childhood education and care might relate to solidarity in a globalized time.
