ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces ‘teaching elsewhere’ as a posthumanist mindset and pedagogical praxis facilitated by pedagogical documentation and diffraction, tied to quantum stories of the light paradox, and grounded in rethinking the classroom-as-phenomenon through agential realism. Teaching elsewhere speculates the possibility of elsewhere, a different story already here, even in all-purpose classrooms designed to teach anyone anything anytime anywhere. The chapter outlines the posthumanist theories/actants diffracted through each other to speculate teaching elsewhere, the curation↔calibration done in one literature classroom to put the theory into practice (praxis), and the conclusions reached through further calibration beyond that classroom.
