“…As Timm Knudsen and Stage (, p. 6) highlight, this approach might entail a need “to complicate the dichotomy between doing something to the world and investigating it” (Timm Knudsen & Stage, , p. 6). Cultural and social geographers, along with anthropologists and sociologists, seem much more at ease with this experimental, and even playful, process than those engaging with political geography (see Hawkins, ).…”

“…Personal diaries, journals, and logs, for example, provide insight into what Lorimer () would term, “the small stories.” Whereas much is “contingent on the availability of ‘sources’” which capture (or at least take us closer to) the smells, sounds, sights, and feelings of direct embodied experience (p. 202), Lorimer demonstrates the value of documents such as field journals in bringing the researcher closer to the embodied experiences of others. There is potential for an “interesting zone” of “inventiveness” (Timm Knudesen & Stage, , p. 7) to emerge here when trying to gain access to the immersive and embodied nature of volumes when methods such as interviews, archival work, and the phenomenological come together. In the following section, I adopt a more personal tone to reflect on how my research interacts with this zone and the potential it holds for exploring immersive volumes.…”

“Do you dive?”: Methodological considerations for engaging with “volume”

The idea that we inhabit three dimensions is clearly not new, yet the explicit articulation of “volume” in recent literature has proved to be an extremely useful means through which to produce novel insights into the conduct and practice of geopolitics. Although the value of engaging with “volume” has been well established and taken discussions in new directions, yet the practicalities of doing this research are yet to be considered in great detail. How methodologically do we approach the three‐dimensional within political geography? Although this paper does not seek to outline a methodological framework, it draws on my own research to prompt discussion about the role of “immersive” methodologies in generating different perspectives within political geography. The paper ends by suggesting that a stronger interface between political geography and methodologies utilised in other geographical subdisciplines might be useful in producing novel insights into the earth's geopolitical volumes.

“…The affective methodology used here (see Coleman & Ringrose, 2013;Knudsen & Stage, 2015), builds on tracing and mapping the network of forces, intensities, capacities and relationalities (see Alvermann, 2000;Hagood, 2004) in which the e-reading processes are created. Mapping these aspects involves following connections between, for example, bodily movements, speech, the disembodied reading voice, the digital tablet and knowledge about learning to read, i.e.…”

“…Coleman & Ringrose, 2013;Knudsen & Stage, 2015;Seyfert, 2012) entails exploring what is happening in the classroom and what makes people do/not do things. In highlighting the active outcome of the social-material encounters happening between the young readers, the e-book and the text, this article explores how these encounters produce processes of e-reading that may, or may not, prompt a drive for reading.…”

“…I adopt a complex-sensitive approach to recognize the activities of e-reading with respect to intensities, connectivity and the flow of change. Specifically, I use an affective methodology (see Coleman & Ringrose, 2013;Knudsen & Stage, 2015) to develop the analysis. The concept of affect, as developed by Baruch Spinoza and interpreted by Gilles Deleuze (1988), serves to draw attention to what moves us, that is, to relations in which the children either expand or restrict their capacity to act.…”

Disembodied Voice and Embodied Affect: e-Reading in Early Childhood Education

This article is based on observations made in a Swedish digital early childhood classroom during reading time. The question of 'what is happening' in the digital classroom when six-year-olds read a fictional electronic book is explored through video observations focusing on children learning to read by engaging in e-books. Informed by affect, as described by Baruch de Spinoza and interpreted by Gilles Deleuze, this article provides a way to attend to the highly dynamic encounters between bodies, ideas and materiality that characterize the children's engagement in e-reading. The analysis suggests that the digital voice is a vital component for activating engagement in and a drive for reading through the moments and movements of embodied reading when children co-read a fictional e-book on their own. Focusing on how e-book reading is enacted in the educational everyday reading practices, this article is an empirically grounded contribution to the understanding of how e-reading is constituted in contemporary digital classroom in all its complexity.

Digital Edible Literacies: Ephemeral and Highly Affective

Digital edible literacies (DEL) are a new media phenomenon that has recently surfaced in social media but has not been examined in scholarly literature before. I exemplify the entanglements of food, media, and children's stories in three DEL exemplars shared on a private blog, Instagram, and connected Meta channels. Drawing on a genre analysis, I position DEL within affective theories and connect them to the concept of ephemeral and material affect. I argue that the ephemeral materiality of DEL expands children's literacies with new temporal relationships that exemplify the sensory dimensions of affect in literacy. This theoretical expansion is important to facilitate understandings of the complex affective qualities of new literacy ecologies.
