ABSTRACT
In this chapter the concept assemblage of desire is put to work in order to work with the third and last decisive point. Assemblage of desire is used as an alternative way of understanding the relationship individual/society in order to account for movement and experimentation in subjectivity and learning. As already indicated, the focus here is on a project with an overhead projector (OHP) machine in which all participants act in a relational field through collective, intense and unpredictable experimentation. The project took place during two years in a preschool group, with 15 children around the age of 1½ and 2 years when the project started. The third decisive point stated that:
3. In the preschools all participants – children, teachers, teacher students, teacher educators and researchers – are caught up in the desire to experiment with subjectivity and learning. They are acting in a relational field through collective, intense and unpredictable experimentation. To work with this theoretically, the relation individual/society needs to be rethought. It needs a twist and a turn that no longer puts any importance on the one or the other side, the whole dualism needs to take on another meaning.
