“…A/r/tography has evolved into an international movement that has generated a broad scope of research and scholarship, despite the sometimes unapologetic debate, which does not need to be restated here (see jagodinski & Wallin ; jagodinski ; among others) but which has characterized a/r/tographers as a rabble of conjurers and malcontents, even plebeian and amateurish in their participation in scholarly events (least so say the experts in Deleuzian purity). We might borrow from Ruda () and consider if there is ‘an exaggerated reading’ of the state of a/r/tography underway. Indeed, we have been duly warned over the last decade not to proceed to this horizon, for there be dragons beyond, and yet here we are.…”

"Artwork scholarship" is defined in this context as a forum for inquiry that involves artful expressions, innovative experimentation and critical propositions informed by aesthetic characteristics as well as customary approaches for the advancement of the arts and education. ‘Latitudes’ in turn take into account the adaptations of artful expressions for educational purposes and the contributions of ongoing critique of art as scholarship. If we deliberate on the pedagogic turn to art as research in tandem with a disposition of latitudes, embracing the tensions of ongoing contestations implicated in such evolving conceptual geographies, arts‐based educational research (ABER) becomes a means to negotiate activities that articulate when is artwork scholarship, rather than what is art as research. In this way, latitudes as a proposition – metaphorically, pedagogically and spatially – is a potential mode for the mapping of theoretical, methodological and practical scholarly encounters, embracing the very tension that the arts evoke, and in the course of so doing, makes such work emergent and inclusive of creative possibilities.

The Multiplicity of (Un-)Thought: Badiou, Deleuze, Event

This essay investigates thought as an event of "multiplicity." French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Alain Badiou pose this as a concept of change (political and otherwise). Both philosophers propose that multiplicity means thinking happens as an event by engaging a theoretical impasse, or "un-thought." Un-thought opens up and changes ideas into complex varieties or multiplicities. This dynamic is examined through the example of May '68, an actual event that gives context to how multiplicity expresses "radical change." The aim of this article is to see how both thinkers' theories overlap. For Badiou, multiplicities are "truths" that happen whilst making a decision, engaging a notion of "point." For Deleuze, multiplicities are concepts that happen materially in life as metaphysical forces, or "lines."Multiplicity is critically approached as a complex variety of ideas that change in the forms of art, politics, and science.

“…According to the critics of this omnicentric perspective, human and animal intention has been dethroned and replaced by some panpsychic ‘force’ which is everywhere but no one can see or describe – a materialism which unfolds itself into materialist and idealist principles (Ruda 2014; Žižek 2013; 2014). Although the reliance on idealist principles might seem the most problematic issue surrounding the omnicentric perspective, the real issue lies elsewhere: it becomes easy to imagine the horrors wrought by the Nazis during the Second World War not as something of their own responsibility and choice but as a product of a network in which the Jews, the gas chambers, the rail system and all the logistics also played a role (Žižek 2014, 8).…”

Against object agency. A counterreaction to Sørensen's ‘Hammers and nails’

This paper commends some ideas that Torill Christine Lindstrøm presented in this journal on the subject of ‘object agency’ (2015) and contends, against Tim Flohr Sørensen's reaction paper (2016), that object agency subsists on philosophically questionable premises. I argue that Sørensen relies on a definition of ‘agency’ which is too labile and virtually indistinguishable from ‘cause’. Moreover, certain premises that Sørensen supports lead to some contradictions with regard to social responsibility. Finally, I argue that object agency is part of a larger intellectual trend which perceives agency as a dynamic global force – and that a return to a more constrained understanding of agency would be of more benefit to archaeology.
