Replete sensations of the refrain: Sound, action and materiality in agentic posthuman assemblages

Abstract

Although there has been increased interest in Deleuzoguattarian philosophical concepts in the last decade, there is little scholarship on a methodological use of refrains in education research. The chapter provides an access-point to refrains as a means to become attuned to the features beyond the human voice -the ‘voices’ of non-humans that enter the research assemblage. Theory and practice are brought into conversation through an elaboration of interspecies articulation and social media flows as applications of the refrain. Concluding the chapter, questions are provided to guide possibilities for grounding the concept of the refrain in education research contexts.
