  In Roundtable Session: Aesthetic Relating: Nonrepresentational and Dialogic Methodologies

Abstract

This piece is in the main theoretical and consists of a reflective and philosophical discussion about the character of qualitative research and knowledge. This article explores the idea of learning as a space of exchange and connection between knowledge, the senses, encounters and values, inspired by some of Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts, that allow us to create a non-representionalist perspective as to how we understand the key relationship between mind and world. This qualitative allows a productive conversation with studies of curriculum and learning environments and sense productions through images and sounds from cinema media, which work on the ideas of swimmer and swimming, and which are important ways of understanding the new aesthetics for curriculum theory.
