ABSTRACT
Posthumanist theory makes it possible to see entanglements in learning. Cultural models theory makes it possible to see that entanglements also involve human minds. The lack of emotions, feelings and affects have for a long time been part of a feminist critique of the rational, detached, male epistemology that has been taken for granted as the human and universal epistemology in much of philosophy and science. An array of analyses of cultural models has been presented, especially in the three anthologies Cultural Models in Language and Thought, Human Motives and Cultural Models and A Cognitive Theory of Cultural Meaning. Education does more than provide us with information to be processed. It is when we align learning with materiality that communication and momentaneous, emotional collectives emerge. Massive open online courses are opened up to new and experimental forms of learning where learners unite across nations, states and fixed categories like gender and ethnicity.
