  • More about Children and the Power of Stories: Posthuman and Autoethnographic Perspectives in Early Childhood Education


Stories can provide a different way of knowing and a way of knowing differently, which can decolonize traditional thinking and approaches to Early Childhood Education (ECE). This book explores how autoethnography can become other when viewed through a posthumanist lens, allowing for a specific type of meaning to emerge that traffics in disruptive possibilities.

This captivating book delves into the transformative power of stretching stories through posthuman and autoethnographic perspectives, offering a fresh approach to Early Childhood Education (ECE). By exploring the potential of stories to provide a distinct way of knowing and understanding, the book aims to decolonize traditional thinking and methodologies in this field. Through a rich blend of research and practical insights, the book showcases how autoethnography can be reimagined when viewed through a posthumanist lens, creating a unique interplay between these two approaches.

The chapters and stories within this book serve as a vibrant canvas, providing a context for examining how autoethnography can evolve into something other when considered through a posthumanist lens. This interplay between posthumanism and autoethnography opens up a realm of possibilities, offering a rich tapestry of meanings that challenge established certainties. By rethinking and perturbing the notion of child-centered approaches to knowing, being, and doing within the ECE context, the authors invite readers to explore new horizons and embrace disruptive perspectives.

This book is a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in reimagining the possibilities of Early Childhood Education. It encourages readers to embrace the power of storytelling and explore new ways of knowing and understanding, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and decolonized approach to education.
