ABSTRACT
Using posthumanism and new materialist philosophies as navigational tools for examining the intra-active unfoldings of “literacy desirings” (Kuby & Rucker, 2016), this chapter amplifies a new materiality for imagining time in literacy research. Zeroing in on a single participant’s meshwork and materializations in being/making/doing a “once OK writer,” the essay highlights the ontic flows of “spacetimemattering” (Barad, 2013). Presented in the style of fragmented scenes, each “diffracting” (Barad, 2007) various temporalities within and across spacetimemattering, the chapter works to provide dissonance, to incite new methods, methodologies, and desirings for considering spacetimemattering in literacy research.
