Posthumanist Research and Writing as Agentic Acts of Inclusion: Knowledge Forced Open delves into the profound significance and potentialities of learning and knowledge within the emerging domain of New Public Governance by exploring, through a posthumanist lens and other perspectives, the paradoxical knowledge situation we currently find ourselves in. This book addresses the constitution of knowledge as an uncertain process, recognizing text as spaces for entanglements of knowledge—knowledge not as certainty but as uncertainty—and writing as the act and art of engaging with these entanglements. By examining research from diverse perspectives, text, and stories are constructed as data, showcasing ethnographic engagements between writers, readers, and texts. The authors demonstrate how to construct messy entanglements of continual, always already constant thinking and becomings through the art and science of research and writing as knowledging processes. Suitable for scholars of posthumanist thinking in Education and the social sciences, this book challenges the academy to consider new ways of thinking with and through knowledge, emphasizing the importance of such processes.
