D&G ontology - multiple highly related concepts.

T-I and M-I come from early work on cinema. D looked at avarnt garde cinema of 1920s for techniques, rather then theme or entertainment. Provoked him to think about dominant understandings of time and movement. He uses the term image to describe the way something is understood...

T-I:  Breaks understanding of time with its measurement. Time as non linear. Crumples and folds, chaotic.
Disabled children often measured by time - development etc.

M-I: Breaks understanding of movement then pause. Rather continual movement.
Disabled children often 'impaired'.

Haecciety: work by D& G. Moves away from an individual. Non-personal singularity. Disabled children - unit of analysis and intervention.

Approach to understanding these  - read primary works (and sec) for concepts through list. In anarchive.

Anarchiving is a process that has been used by conceptual artists and 'research- creators'. It brings the anarchic spirit to the archive. Archives are usually store texts of one form or other. Anarchives are an attempt to promote thought generation and movement.

Deleuze and Guattari
Concept as method
Rethink disability for children in ANZ, and related material practices by/ for children
Aim to: disrupt status quo. Find my space to play in academia - my voice

Unfold ontology
Complex, chatoric, confusing, elitist
Remarkable attempt to construct different means of thinking, being and doing
Ethics
Humans decentred, material given status and power

# data[].attributes.body
Academics - social sciences/ ed - think through problems using philosophy and concept - look at things differently, consider what else might be possible

Humanism just one way of being, thinking and doing in the world – we can think to alternative philosophies such as Te Ao Maori or other indigenous world views, or to renaissance thinking for example.

PQI attempts to look for further possibilities....

# data[].attributes.body
Look carefully at humanism - construct alternative means of thinking, acting and doing

Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari - PQI (Elizabeth St Pierre)

Focus on Ontology

Fluid, emergent, destabilise humanism
Ethics - all beings valued, in which the material matters
Posthumanism and New materialisms

Flattened ethical position - disrupts status of the privileged - a rock, a whistle, a butterfly, a person are equivalent in terms of position, impact and potential

Enlightenment
Institutions, structures, processes, outcomes embedded in our daily lives
Value knowledge, education, justice, democracy

- acknowledge personal benefit  - library, medicine - my life and my son's existence, having the privilege to be here today (acknowledge 3rd generation of trying for a PHD in family - helping hand of my grandfathers employer)
However great aunt Phyllis - the other

Progress, the future
Reason, rationality (and science)
Particular form of ethical standards

humanism v influential - difficult to think past - in reality has constructed the way we each think, act and do

alternative reading provides a range of effects - knowledge: sophisticated tools of violence; progress - environment, the human over other beings

heirarchy of humans - pinnacle given power and privilege - the norm standard

Others - down the chain - limited status and opportunity

How to explore 'the other' - via philosophy

If we look at this issue using philosophy - can see humanist lens has been highly influential - in both the social and medical models, in quant and qual, in measuring  and giving voice

although a lot of interesting and valuable work has occurred in research, policy and practice, across disciplines including childhood studies and disability studies,  we remain with the problem of the disabled child as other

continue to have low status, and seen as should aim to be normal

maintain dominance binary normal - other
maintain dominance knowledge/ epistemology
maintain dominance the human

# data[].attributes.body
These approaches are proactively trying to raise status of people who experience discrimination...
However assume:
peoples voice is important (and the body is absent)
empowerment of some people is necessary
individual human experience is paramount
i.e. Same AIM, to be normal human - continues to position those discriminated against as less normal

Encouraged by Lynne G, Jo etc..

A way to hold complexity, diversity, new way of thinking and doing.

Philosophical inquiry/ Foucault + Deleuze and Guattari.

Opportunity to do what I had always wanted – learn about philosophy, apply to a particular example – that of disability:

RQ:

Am I disabled?

Swing of pendulum rather than real shift

Other ways to understand disability that are more complex and nuanced, allow shift and change, challenge ways of thinking....

Supported by team committed to family-centred care - walk alongside, guide, SW how not to be a physiotherapist: food parcels, visas...
Discomfort - what does this system do? No language to describe except frustrations but biomedical doesn't feel right: voice, views, life experiences

Grandad - impairment misses him, my recollection repetitive conversation weather but 'famous' family story revolves around a photo of him with Einstein

# data[].attributes.body
Multiple understandings, shift time/ culture etc
In my own childhood, absorb discourse around disability being something to avoid
Grandad = dementia/ institution - denies other aspects of his being
Conflate person w impairment - medical model of disability - fixed/ one dimensional, universal, low status
