Excellent- More about New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
This book explores language education through a socio-material framework, highlighting the role of material agencies, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. It challenges the notion of the human subject as rational and sole possessor of agency and encourages readers to consider other-than-human agency in research.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 190 pages

Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG
This open-access book delves into the realm of language education by employing a socio-material framework. The authors take a critical stance, shifting their focus away from humans and towards the often overlooked material aspects of their research contexts and processes. By adopting a posthumanist realism, they engage in research that views society as an ethical interplay between humans and the material world. Through this lens, they explore the socio-materialities of language education, examining material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages.
The book is structured into three sections, each exploring language educational contexts through a distinct lens of (socio)materiality. The authors' conceptualization of (socio)materiality guides the organization of the book, addressing the following overarching questions:
How do material agencies emerge in language educational contexts?
How are educational choices and experiences intertwined with the materialities of spaces and bodies?
What assemblages of human and non-human entities occur in language education contexts?
Each chapter poses unique questions and challenges the notion of the human subject as a rational, enlightened being and sole possessor of agency. It offers examples of incorporating other-than-human agency into the discussion, showcasing how researchers committed to social constructionist thinking can embrace new theories and encourage readers to embark on fresh intellectual and embodied endeavors.
By presenting these thought-provoking insights, the contributors demonstrate how researchers can expand their horizons and remain receptive to new ideas, fostering a dynamic and evolving understanding of language education within socio-material contexts.
