Presentation of two paper:
Superposition - how phenomena come into being in several places at the same time.
This paper describes a research that aims to explore how phenomena come into being by a superposition in several places at the same time. How is it possible to research the superposition of phenomena without observations placing them as positions? The ontological starting points are based on assumptions about a world that are repeated through an internal difference (Deleuze, Guattari 2015). Phenomena respond to the constant repetition of the world by striving for superposition. This is done by an entanglement that makes them avoid uniform positions (Barad 2007). To describe which phenomena do this the paper focuses on unaccepted moments, like quantum leaps (Bhor 2013), and how superposition can be repaired in a linguistic and visual embodiment.
Sound - a border phenomenon with superposition.
This paper discusses how sound as a phenomenon can increase the understanding of emerging phenomena and why sound is important in pedagogy. With the theories of quantum physics, sound can be described as a boundary phenomenon that has the possibility of being created by superposition (Bohr 2013, Nørretranders 2022). This allows sound to be created in several places at the same time until it is observed and given a position. Something that can lead to ontological discoveries of a world that is constantly repeated and whose effects enable the emergence of the becoming of phenomena (Barad 2007, Bergstedt, 2021)
Ännu en inspirerande konferens arrangerad av nätverket Post-approaches to Education. Temat för detta års pre-conference var Mis/ adventures in education: post approaches to research and learning. While an adventure has positive connotations, a misadventure denotes a plan that has gone wrong or awry. How might misadventures open up new possibilities for education? How can we stay with the trouble (Haraway, 2016) of misadventure? Together, we hope to explore post-approaches to tensions in issues concerning education, the human, children, power, ethics, the body and more.

HOW TO PRESERVE SUPERPOSITION IN POST-QUALITATIVE RESEARCH?
Fri 12.1.2024, 11:15–12:45 Room U4078, Main building

Abstract
I will do this based on three concept "superposition", "entanglement" and “quantum leaps” (Barad 2007, Zellinger 2010, Nørretranders 2022). Superposition means that a particle is in many places at the same time. Entanglement means that two or more particles are intertwined with each other in a way that can almost be described as symbiosis.
The question is how particles manage to connect through entanglement and at the same time be in superposition? This is where the concept of quantum leaps becomes interesting (Barard 2007, Bohr 2013). It is not possible to predict where and when the particle will make such a leap. This is something that goes on until the particles are measured or observed. Then the particle must profess existence by choosing a state and becoming a position of either 0 or 1. (Nørretranders 2022).
What does this mean for a research process, is it possible to do research without turning phenomena into a dualistic position? One possibility is to use the body as a research instrument. The body strives for superposition and comes into being through entanglement if it does not make other phenomena into objects. To do this I have selected the concept haptic sensorium (Bergstedt 2021a). That make it possible to be touched by the affects (Massumi 2002) that is created when the body relates to a phenomenon. To succeed in this, it is important to pay attention to accidental and unplanned moments.
This paper describes how this can be used as a post-qualitative method (Barad 2007, Juelskjær 2019, Bergstedt 2021b). Examples that want to include participatory research where the participants together carry out sound walks to explore what happens at a seashore or in a schoolyard.

Roundtable presentation with Samira Jamouchi and Lap-Xuan Do Nguyen, abstract:
Roundtable as a playroom event and place of artistic becoming
Intro
The roundtable is organised both sequential and organically. We shall have two distinct but interconnected presentations. We inquire relationships between art, artistic teaching, and artistic research through the framework of new materialism and post humanism.
The two presentations are also a visual and oral example of a rhizomatic system between art, pedagogy and research. Bosse, Lap-Xuan and Samira take into action and take into account their works in their on-going process of entangled acts that reveal each other.
First presentation
The first presentation is held by Bosse and Samira. They will present a project about teacher students during their practices in Norwegian primary school. The aim of the project is to initiate a cross-institutional constellation between university college, primary school and the art collective Tenthaus. The aim of the project is to see how artists that work with the public with relevant socially engaged practice can add to, or how it can expend, an understanding of what art can do in school.
The form of their presentation in inspired by their theoretical / philosophical framework: Barad (2007), Deleuze and Guattari (1980), and Haraway (2016). Bosse and Samira will bring yarn/threads and words to the table. The words and threads will be entangled between the contributors and the audience. By doing so the making/playing with objects will facilitate intra-action with the audience to discuss the questions during the finissage (the closing part of the roundtable).
Second presentation
The second presentation will integrate and build on the first one. Lap-Xuan and Samira will present a new phase of their performative talk series called: “When I think about you and…”. Their encounters grow as a rhizomatic network bringing process of exchanging the-knowns be-coming the-unknowns and vice versa. We embrace the intensity of our conversations in artistic talks and the unforeseen, as powerful moments evolving from a known past connected to a together becoming of the experienced moments. It is in this state of becoming as making-with that sympoiesis takes us further.
Finissage
The two presentations will leave traces on the table, as thread, words, objects. It is with the public at we wish to see what becoming can arise in the discussion with the conference attendees.
Paper presentation, abstract:
Superpositions and Entanglement. What happens in the event of agential cuts?
This paper explores what happens when a research process makes agential cuts. The research question highlights the concepts of “superposition” and “entanglement”, which are used in quantum physics to describe the becoming of particles (Zellinger 2010, Nørretranders 2022).
Superposition means that a particle is in many places at the same time. The particle can move by choosing all paths between two points at the same time and information can travel over great distances without taking any time at all.
Entanglement means that two particles have properties that they get from being connected by being either opposite or equal. When the particles are separated, they will still be entangled and have superposition.
Superposition and entanglement mean that it is not possible to describe one particle without simultaneously describing that it is part of a context with the other. They form a whole and cannot be understood to be in and of themselves, if one's condition changes, the other does the same (Nørretranders 2022).
This is something that goes on until the particles are measured or observed. Then the particle must profess existence by choosing a state and becoming a position of either 0 or 1. But in the meantime, and before they are observed, the particles are in many states at once, a superposition. The experiments that are done today with a quantum computer are therefore based on not exposing particles to any kind of disturbance by freezing them at very low temperatures (Nørretranders 2022).
What does this mean when agential cuts are made in a research process? In agential cuts (Barad 2007; Juelskjær 2019), the becoming of the phenomena is disturbed by the articles of which they consist, which contributes to the creation of differences in what constitutes a whole. This contributes to the phenomenon of going from superposition to position and creating a duality between subject and object.
Quantum physics shows that if something changes in one phenomenon, something will occur in the other phenomenon. The guiding methodological question, therefore, becomes: What happens at another place than where agential cuts are set? It is to this that place the researcher must direct the attention. What happens at the opposite poles? If the condition of one changes, the other does so with the same Which makes it possible to understand how the phenomenon becomes by depicting the compositions that connect the phenomena. Something that is methodologically important for the development of agential realism and other perspectives that use agential cuts in their research.

Haptic sensorium: a method for researching phenomena becoming with the world
This paper describes a project that has developed a new method that is called haptic sensorium. This is a methodology that makes it possible to study the emergence of phenomena when bodies and matter connect. Theoretically, the project is in close connection with research in posthumanism and new materialism, and our ambitions have been to create new knowledge in the fields of ethnology and post-qualitative methods (S:t Pierre 2013, Juleskjær 2020). To be able to develop new methods, we have attached particular importance to starting from an ontological perspective.
The research question for this paper is therefore to develop a methodology perspective that is based on an ontology of becoming that is inspired by internal realism (Davidsson 2020, Bergstedt 2021a, 2021b). How can thinking with the world generate knowledge about the becoming of phenomena?
This paper is structured into three parts. The first part describes an ontology of becoming. The advantage is that it assumes that there is a difference between the world itself and how it is described (Grosz 2018). Therefore, it is important to see what the world can do, its functions, and its effects. Deleuze and Guattari assume that the world does not need anything other than what it has in itself; it is neutral and is its cause. The fact that the world can be and is created in itself contributes to an internal principle, an inner self-differentiation Deleuze and Guattari, 2015). A is non-A and A at the same time. This means that what we experience through our bodies and physical senses is the world itself in a concrete and physical sense.
The second part of the paper will describe a method that we called a haptic sensorium. The concept of the sensorium, which comes from the Latin term “sensus”, describes the place in the brain that perceives changing sensory impressions, which include sensation, perception, and interpretation of experiences, both in the body and of other phenomena (Paterson 2009, Juleskjær 2020).
To this sensorium, we bring the concept of “haptic”. Haptic means that the body is directed towards being touched and to touch (Barad 2007, Juelskjær 2019). The haptic ability is important as it provides a physical opportunity to touch the phenomena being explored. By allowing a diversity of the body’s changing sensory impressions to be combined with touch, we arrive at the concept of haptic sensorium. The haptic sensorium helps us in mixing a variety of senses, enabling a wider openness towards the world in which we participate. This allows greater attention to the appearances of unconscious bodily effects during the research processes (Paterson 2009, Bergstedt 2021b).
The third part of this paper shows how phenomena can be explored with a haptic sensorium. Among these, special focus is placed on the phenomenon of sound. Listening to the sound of becoming phenomena opens up new possibilities for understanding how phenomena connect and come into being with the world. We develop a special form av listening to that called multisensory listening, which will assist in creating our understanding of how our bodies are transcorporeal and always more than just human (Alaimo 2012, William 2021).
This is a form of listening that for example can practice by listening to shores, where land and sea meet and mingle. (Rowlings, 2020.) By multisensory listening with sand, rocks, shells, water, wind, and plants, new insights can be created, insights into how matter and bodies connect. Research that can give us new knowledge of how bodies and matter connect and have an ethical implication for awareness of the responsibility and care in human-nature relations.

Accepted paper:
Pedagogy of the moment – where the world evokes knowledge
This paper explores how the moment can say something about the becoming of phenomena and what it can mean for pedagogy. The purpose is to broaden the understanding of the conditions and possibilities of the moment and to contribute to a re-thinking of pedagogy.
The context for exploring the pedagogy of the moment is that more and more theoretical perspectives have come to direct interest in what happens in situations of various kinds, such as Bohr's quantum leap (2013), Haraway's situated learning (1988), Badiou's events, Derrida's differences (1978), Barthe's details (1986), Spinoza's affects (2001), Lacan's leaks (1989), Barad's cuts (2007) and Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome (2015).
Why are situations and events so important? To be able to understand this, an ontological perspective is needed (Bergstedt 2021a) Therefore, this paper describes an internal realism where the world is created in itself (Danielsson 2020). This means that there is a world but the way to create it can take many different forms. The starting point is a world created through an internal principle, an inner self-differentiation itself. A as non-A and A simultaneously (Deleuze, Guattari 2015, Grosz 2018).
This means that pedagogy can be understood from new points of departure. This can be done by broadening the subject and relying on the senses of the body. These are in direct contact with the repetition of the world, which creates great diversity and thus also affects various kinds. In the paper, this is methodically developed in the form of a haptic sensorium (Juelskjær 2020, Bergstedt 2021b).
It helps to develop an ability to point out the moments that enable the discovery of how phenomena become (Barad 2007). Which can lead to a more ethical and less aggressive way of relating to the world than that which has characterized a modern age. The important thing is not to teach knowledge but to point out what it is that makes knowledge become.

Denna gång samtalar vi om Chessa Adsit-Morris bok Restorying Environmental Education Figurations, Fictions, and Feral Subjectivities, Palgrave Macmillan, 2017 med focus på Chapter 3: Bag-lady Storytelling: The Carrier-bag Theory of Fiction as Research Praxis
“Bag-lady Storytelling” is a performative methodology, a creative (re)twist of Ursula Le Guin’s “Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction” into a new materialist methodology. Using the figuration of Trudy, the chatty Times Square bag-lady character in the one-woman Broadway play, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, the author conducts a feminist critique of traditional research methodologies and draws together theories of research that inform, instead, the practice of research as Baglady storytelling, a performative research praxis of gathering stories/ ideas/theories and creating habitual nomadic research patterns. Such a praxis requires a different logic, an attunement and attentiveness to what gets gathered up, used, shared; an attentiveness to which seeds should be saved for future reseeding, for future reworlding.

Fenomen som vatten, ljud och ljus ges allt större uppmärksamhet. Hur kan det komma sig, vad är det som är så specifikt med dessa ”flyktiga” fenomen? Hur kan de vidga vår förståelse för hur fenomen blir till?
Thinking with Water invites readers to consider how water - with its potent symbolic power, its familiarity, and its unique physical and chemical properties - is a lively collaborator in our ways of knowing and acting. What emerges is both a rich opportunity to encourage more thoughtful environmental engagement and a challenge to common oppositions between nature and culture.

Vi fortsätter att samtala om konst, materialitet och filosofi, denna gång läser vi första kapitlet i Elizabeth Grosz bok Chaos, Territory, Art: Deleuze and the Framing of the Earth.
Elizabeth Grosz is Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. She also teaches gender studies and architecture at the University of Bergen, Norway, and The University of Sydney, Australia.
Instead of treating art as a unique creation that requires reason and refined taste to appreciate, Elizabeth Grosz argues that art-especially architecture, music, and painting-is born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection. She approaches art as a form of erotic expression connecting sensory richness with primal desire, and in doing so, finds that the meaning of art comes from the intensities and sensations it inspires, not just its intention and aesthetic.

Tara Page is an artist, researcher, teacher and Senior Lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London
Through embodied and material practice research, underpinned with theories of new materialism, Tara Page enables us to learn and understand how our ways of knowing, making and learning place are entangled with embodied and material pedagogies. She shows how our bodily engagements in and with the material world are intra-actions of the who, with the where.The creative and multi-dimensional approach of this book, with links to photographs-creative practices to be read with the text, brings together the global with the local, practice with theory and demonstrates the complex pedagogy between bodies, places and everyday social relations of power. Page reveals that placemaking is the very experiential fact of our existence but, is also a necessary one.

https://lnkd.in/emedCYY3
I Istanbul finnas The Museum of Innocence skapat av författaren Orhan Pamuk. Ett unikt museum som bygger på författarens roman med samma namn. Berättelsen handlar om Kemal som blir förälskad i Füsun och som under åtta år samlar på föremål som skall bevara de lyckliga stunder som han haft med henne. Föremål som på museet är samlade i 83 montrar, lika många som romanens kapitel. Det gör museet till en lämplig plats för att utforska hur kopplingar blir till mellan människa och materia. I artikeln görs detta genom analyser som bygger på posthumanistiska och nymaterialistiska perspektiv. Resultatet av dessa visar hur människa och materia blir till genom intra-aktioner och vilken betydelsen som glödande ögonblick har för dessa sammankopplingar. Något som vidgar förståelsen för vad Kemal menar när han säger att livets mening är att ha "lycka" i enskilda ögonblick.

Abstract. This article discusses how it is possible to think with the world in educational research. How can this thinking with the world generate knowledge about the becoming of phenomena? To answer this question this paper undertakes a diffractive reading of selected texts from Niels Bohr, Karen Barad, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Donna Haraway, and Michel Serres. This diffractive reading reveals that the world becomes with itself contributing to an internal principle or an inner self-differentiation. This means that all phenomena can be understood as related to the world in one way or another. This paper contends that the researcher body is important to investigations of the becoming of phenomena with the world, therefore a haptic sensorium is developed as a means to visualize bodily affects and to recognize limit values to the world, for example, background noise. The article concludes with a discussion about creating knowledge of this process as a rhizome. The article attempts to illustrate that thinking with the world can generate new knowledge to understand the becoming of phenomena, which can contribute to the development of educational research.

Lorentz, Hans & Bergstedt, Bosse red. (2021) Interkulturella dimensioner. Pedagogik för mångkulturellt lärande. Lund: Studentlitteratur
Svensk pedagogisk forskning har under ett flertal år utvecklat interkulturella perspektiv, såväl metodiskt som teoretiskt. Den har visat hur viktigt det är att skolorna i dagens mångkulturella samhälle fokuserar på att främja interkulturellt lärande. I denna antologi presenteras aktuell forskning. Bidragen visar att skillnaderna i barns och ungas uppväxtvillkor har ökat i Sverige. De visar också att diskriminering och rasism är återkommande problem och att modersmålsundervisningen är starkt marginaliserad. Samtidigt pekar de på möjligheter som finns för att stärka skolors och föreningars interkulturella arbete, hur lärare kan arbeta med svåra och kontroversiella texter i undervisningen och hur ungdomsföreningar med estetisk bildningspraktik kan bidra till interkulturellt engagemang. I boken diskuteras hur nya teoretiska inriktningar, som normkritiskt perspektiv och posthumanism, kan bidra till att skapa ett eftersträvansvärt pedagogiskt klimat.

Abstract. This article aims is to explore a perspective of the ontology of becoming, that makes it possible to study the emergence of phenomena and thereby broaden the understanding of how knowledge is created. It is written in close connection with research in posthumanism and new materialism. What hat has been lacking in these perspectives has been a clearer connection to ontological points of departure. It is therefore the purpose of this article to describe, based on ontological positions, both philosophical points of departure and methodology and research practice. The article is structured in three parts, where the introductory part describes basic ontological starting points. The second part describes how a research apparatus can be constructed and used to carry out analyses based on the ontology of becoming. A research apparatus where the body’s senses and mobility are given a prominent role through a haptic sensorium. The third part describes examples of phenomena that can be explored with an onto-analysis of becoming. Among these, special focus is placed on the border phenomenon of sound. The result of the article is a perspective that can contribute to renewed insights into how phenomena are created with the world.

Hemsida för forskargruppen INTRA
INTRA är en forskarmiljö som utforskar betydelsen av estetisk aktivitet i pedagogiska sammanhang. I dessa situationer uppstår nya utgångspunkter för hur erfarenhet, kunskap och nya insikter blir till.
”INTRA” sätter fokus på människors tillblivelse i relation med varandra och människors tillblivelse i relation med materia. Vi har rört oss från ”interrelation” till det vidare ”intrarelation”. Materialitet ses som alltifrån människans kropp, språk och redskap till fysiska miljöer och natur.
Expressiva uttrycksformer medverkar till upptäckten av dessa intra-relationer och därmed till ett etiskt ansvarstagande för jordens klimat och miljö.
Forskargruppen INTRA består av Bosse Bergstedt, Per Apelmo, Hannes Lundkvist, Börje Forsgård
