How might pedagogies ‘attuning-with’ generate assemblages of relations? Challenging anthropocentric (domination of the human species) and humancentric (domination of the human self) positions of teaching and learning about/of the world, pedagogies ‘attuning-with’ provide the conditions of possibility to generate teaching and learning with the world. This is because pedagogies ‘attuning-with’ acknowledge dynamic, continual, and reiterative human/nonhuman entanglements in attending to discursive stories and the lively, vibrant materiality of affective intensities stirring bodies in/to action. As human thoughts and feelings are socialised by discursive stories and the fleshy materiality of the world ‘marking’ bodies in co-constituted change, we are always emerging through assemblages of relations.Through this ‘togetherness relationship’ it therefore follows that we are always responsible and accountable for the kinds of relationships that we cultivate and sustain with all ‘Other(s)’.
