Abstract

This paper outlines a posthuman poetical analysis process informed by John Heron and Rosi Braidotti’s concepts of affective feeling as an expansive human capacity for activating flourishing in more-than human worlds. Coresearchers in a collaborative inquiry into new ways to collaborate musically improvised this recursive analysis process in seeking affective methods for analyzing sonic, textual, and visual data materials. Focused on two spirals of poetic data analysis, this paper outlines how and why coinquirers in this qualitative action research study adapted existing poetic analysis methods for their posthuman inquiry centering affective feeling and radical, more-than human relationality.
