Affective intensities: Emotion, race, gender and the push and pull of bodies

What is it about?

We investigate the way three Black girls create collaborative multimodal responses to literature by Jacqueline Woodson through embodied and material-discursive anlaysis. We combine a focus on bodies, movement, talk, and discursive positionings in classrooms to understand how the push and pull of energy from human bodies and non-human objects in intra-actions influences the girls' subjectivities that includes new ways of becoming.
