Constantly Becoming With

Abstract

This video article is composed of footage drawn out of Sheehan’s Educational Doctoral Thesis which included four Video-Wonderings that were presented as an Analysis chapter interwoven with written text. The thesis examined the use of Intuitive Movement as a tool for eliciting information about Professional Identities with those working in the helping professions. This article re-reads the Video-Wonderings to think further into the method of using video to intra-act with theory, research activity and researcher self as a mode of ‘becoming with’ information. This piece falls within an Educational Research paradigm building on/with the work of Posthuman arts based feminist new materialists that have used ideas around embodiment as transdisciplinary, diffractive, pedagogic, social research methods.
