Reimagining Collaboration through the Lens of the Posthuman: Uncovering Embodied Learning in Noise Music
Woods, Peter J.
Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, v18 n1 p45-65 2021
While education research has largely avoided posthumanist scholarship, this analytic lens challenges the ways in which researchers have conceptualized educational technologies, i.e. collaboration and embodied learning, as primarily humanist endeavors that overtly center on human subjects within educational processes. By exploring sites of research that overtly enact posthumanist conceptions of learning, education researchers can address this oversight. In this article, I investigate posthumanist collaboration within the noise music genre, positioning noise music as a posthuman musical tradition and, in turn, a posthuman educational context. In doing so, I reframe noise (in the broad sense of the term) as a tool for engaging the posthuman through multiple educational praxes both in and outside of this specific genre. To construct this argument, I place extant literature on posthumanism and noise in conversation with descriptions of performances from the 2017 Experimental Education Series, a quarterly workshop and concert series that features a broad spectrum of noise musicians, and interviews with teaching artists from this series. Through this constellation of texts, I advocate for noise music to not only serve as a site for future research but as a potential model of posthuman education more broadly.
