Context: Introduction to Special Issues on emotional geographies of education as a new line of inquiry
Theoretical frame: Emotional geography, specifically Deleuze & Guattari (2008)
Methodology: Essay/ discussion piece
Discussion: Education = "almost always positioned as rational e as a social and epistemological endeavor, as an abstract process, as a set of reasoned and logical practices, and as a series of formal spaces the production and use of which is as 'uncontaminated' by emotion as possible" (p.132) - when it is considered, it is through lens of educational psychology and pathologised (visible only when = problematic). Where emotion is included (e.g., emotional intelligence) = understood along rational (thus masculine) lines. Understandings of emotion in social/ discursive/ spatial/ affective offer different possibilities and understandings. Moving on, notion of affectivities (Deleuze & Guattari, 2008): "the intense sensation of bodies that are pre-personal and pre-discursive. This understanding of affectivities has been taken up to understand and demonstrate the ways that affective intensities flow through educational sites and encounters in ways that exceed any notion of a unitary subject, even an emotional unitary subject" (p.133). Exploration of space and place = permits multiple positionings of education's "centers and margins, mobilities and stabilities, hierarchies, relationalities and positionalities" (p.133), and speaks to ontology of 'becoming-other' (Deleuze & Guattari, 2008).
Core argument: Emotional geographies of education = hitherto non-existent but highly fruitful new are of inquiry
