ABSTRACT

Stephanie brings together a self-defeating context of education with direct passages from the three preceding chapters and her own posthuman readings of literacies and pedagogies in horseback riding. Reminding us that we ought not act as if the horrors and carnage produced through contemporary education don’t exist, she offers the tool of the halt (or half-halt) to be in the present as literacies are made. Stephanie highlights examples of halting from the chapters and suggests that doing so can prompt attention to literacies-in-the-making as well as create the possibility for dignified, responsible practice.
