Abstract

The Kindergarten Book was assembled through the interrelated methods of Being (with us), Doing (photos), and Becoming (with cameras). These being, doing, and becoming processes are represented here through visual and narrative vignettes. Ethical and analytical matters are also examined through posthuman orientations towards relations and re-presentation.

Parts of this chapter are adapted, with permission from Peter Lang, from “Whatever We Make Depends”: Doing-data/Data-doing with Young Children. In: Koro-Ljungberg M, Löytönen T, Tesar M (eds) Disrupting Data in Qualitative Inquiry: Entanglements with the Post-Critical and Post-Anthropocentric.
