Our first blog post follows our October CEEN workshop: \u2018Thinking-with water: engaging with flows\u2019,<\/strong> in which we invited participants to dip their toes into playful and artful collective experimentations. In response to Kerry\u2019s blog (September 2020) and the continued social distancing requirements of Covid-19, we sought to \u2018do zoom communications differently\u2019 – thinking and creating ideas and spaces bodily. Keen to slow down and pause whilst paying attention to participation, sensorial encounters and material engagements, we invited participants to share experiences through the chat box, as a place for lively conversations. We worked online with the provisos that silences were generative, blank spaces on paper were fine and any decision to turn the camera off was part of the flow of the workshop. We were grateful for the spirit of generosity as participants took up invitations to collage and engage in co-production, co-composition, and co-experimentation (Koro-Ljungberg 2016).<\/p>\n

In recent months several online events have shown us that there may be other ways to engage digitally – through meditation, soundscapes and lively chat. We were unsure what was going to emerge from this participatory event, which was uncertain and new territory for us. Outcomes were unknown and open, yet we were confident and trusted that something would happen in lively entanglements of water, participants, and theory. \u00a0This blog is a reflection and development of our experience preparing, delivering and reflecting on our workshop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preparing for the workshop: identifying the source of the flow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zoom worlds seem very distant to the \u2018South Country\u2019 landscapes (Thomas 2009) which have become a focus of our research attention: the Hanger at Selborne; the ancient Yews at Kingley Vale; the chalk cliffs at Freshwater Bay; the Solent at Salterns Beach; Little Horsecroft Copse.<\/p>\n

THE SOUTH COUNTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inspired by Country et al. (2016: 456) these places have \u2018enabled our learning, our meeting, the stories that guide(d) us, and the connections we discuss(ed).\u2019 Places have significantly impacted on our pedagogical endeavours, mutually co-constructed our thinking and informed our reading and walking practices. Serendipitous encounters with water have presented themselves and we have become entangled in fluid assemblages. Water has been a constant refrain in our work. We have found ourselves immersed in watery intra-actions, including paddling in chalk streams, meteorological rain mediations with students, caught unexpectedly in rainstorms on fieldwork and curriculum-making\u00a0 \u00a0with Masters\u2019 students and a watery glitter vortex. Emotions have been stirred: humility, curiosity, care, respect, and response-ability. \u00a0We are in no doubt of the need to avoid romantic notions and to consider the messy realities of watery worlds, the troubling specificities of water: water destroys, floods, contaminates, eludes. Water can be troublesome, it can be scarce, cold, and can strike repeatedly and violently.<\/p>\n

wateriness is everyday \u2026 it accompanies us \u2026.<\/p>\n

wateriness is a refrain \u2026. in life, in research, in us\u2026<\/p>\n

water led us to a workshop theme \u2026<\/p>\n

water accompanied us to a workshop<\/p>\n

Delivering the workshop: in full flow<\/strong><\/p>\n

An introductory question at the workshop placed participants in relation with water – How have you been with water today? It was a very watery day. In Hampshire, water lashed at the windows, puddles hindered the drive to present. All participants had become entangled with water: w<\/em>alking the dog, washing hands, children at the beach in wetsuits, noticing the height of the stream, taking bins out, drinking water, cycling through the rain, rehydration.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our zoom space was to provide a \u2018simultaneity of stories\u2019 (Massey,2005:9); a multiplicity of layered and complex tales, which flowed across the digital space from Nottingham, Birmingham, the Peak District, Bath, and Devon. Outside, it was raining \u2013 across the country. On screen, we gathered as an online assemblage of desks and chairs, people in their everyday lives, water experiments, on screen chat, papers, and a watery collage.<\/p>\n

From a torrent of zoom chat emerged found poems and lyrical thinking to invite readers to participate and engage with ideas, feelings and realities shared (Janesick: 2016). These poems are our attempt to become more playfully rhizomatic in the ways we approach theory and sharing knowledge-in-formation. For example, \u2018What does water do?\u2019<\/p>\n

Water ripples<\/em><\/p>\n

Water caresses<\/em><\/p>\n

Water flows<\/em><\/p>\n

Water quenches thirst<\/em><\/p>\n

Water sustains<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes petrifies me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Water rushes<\/em><\/p>\n

Water gives life, cleanses<\/em><\/p>\n

soothes<\/em><\/p>\n

drowns<\/em><\/p>\n

submerges<\/em><\/p>\n

refreshes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Water carves, reflects, splashes<\/em><\/p>\n

washes away<\/em><\/p>\n

makes waves <\/em><\/p>\n

makes us up.<\/em><\/p>\n

Water combines, replenishes and <\/em><\/p>\n

rushes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Water changes \u2013 carving, bending. <\/em><\/p>\n

You never meet the same water twice. <\/em><\/p>\n

Water swirls and sparkles.<\/em><\/p>\n

Water allows things to dissolve together <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We conversed with water. This was conversation, not rooted in speech, but in the Middle English origins of the word, where to converse is to live among, to be familiar with and become intimate with. Water was the lead performer and teacher in our encounters. To consider the world and materials \u2018in conversation\u2019 requires a fundamental shift in our sense of who we are as researchers and human beings, in relation to our planet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reflecting on the workshop \u2013 ripples continue to flow<\/strong><\/p>\n

We made deliberate interruptions to habitual digital zoom practices. Participants were encouraged to experiment with materials: paper, water, mark making items. Playful practices were encouraged. Distance was mitigated by intimacy and sharing. With a desire to abandon routine ways of creating meaning, assigning merit and judging worth, we drew on our senses and more than purely rational cognition. Within playful contexts creativity bubbled up to the surface, we glided into action with different ways of building knowledge percolating through the digital space. This proved to be insurrectionary\u2026 challenging bureaucratized and silo-ed thinking and practice\u2019 (Brookfield, 2019). One colleague shared: \u2018I loved playing with the water and then playing with how it was possible to interact with the video camera as a means of playing with the audience! It’s given me food for thought in how zoom can work in other ways<\/em>.\u2019<\/em> There were serendipitous distractions too. Another participant found droplets of water on the grass, tried to carry the stalks indoors and the droplets fell \u2026 grass came indoors to the artwork … water itself resisted capture.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, in thinking-with water what kinds of relations and responses were provoked? What was stirred up? Significant thoughts emerged \u2013 of temporality, playful interruptions, transformation and change, collaging, and water-worlding.<\/p>\n

One respondent wrote: \u2018When you ask what that stirred up – it did the opposite. It calmed me right down\u2026being made to stop and dip my hands in water and play with pens was a great antidote. The fact that this was connected to theoretical thinking and rationales as a wider grounding for the work was extremely important – we weren’t just playing with a bowl of water!\u2019 <\/em>Perhaps seeking to do things differently can help us to keep spaces open for material encounters and create space to come to the surface and breathe.<\/p>\n

Water prompted learning about \u2018worlding\u2019. <\/strong>Our watery worlding was informed through cultivating attention, active engagement, and entanglement in a water-paper-drawing-writing-materials assemblage. As Foley (2017) writes:<\/p>\n

\u2018Worlding\u2026 is an active, ontological process; it is not simply a result of our existence in or passive encounter with particular environments, circumstances events or places\u2026 It is above all an embodied and enacted process \u2013 a way of being in the world – consisting of an individual’s whole-person act of attending to the world <\/em><\/p>\n

The potential to be affected by materials was realised by participants:<\/p>\n

\u2018Markings are made just with water and they change as the water spreads, evaporates etc. I was thinking of how water can hold and gradually erode our physical, emotional and mental knots.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018I wasn\u2019t enjoying the misty rain this morning but this afternoon I\u2019ve loved my engagement with it – playful rather than trying to fight against it.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018It makes me think back to the oil pipeline protests in America. The fact that water source was going to be destroyed. That is a powerful tool.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stewart (2012:128) refers to the affective nature of the world with \u2018bodies literally affecting one another and generating intensities: human bodies, discursive bodies, bodies of thought, bodies of water.\u2019 Collage aided our expression of these everyday affects.<\/p>\n

Collaging prompted learning with water <\/strong>Collage is…\u2019a way of relational knowing … which involves multisensory responses in a particular moment…. produced in collaborations (Somerville 2008:212). <\/em>We began our watery collage before the workshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The collage changed course with a torrential wave of contributions during and after the zoom event, with emergent ideas and contributions from participants. We worked with St Pierre\u2019s notion of a \u2018cacophony of ideas\u2019, which swished, eddied, churned and whirled in entanglements:<\/p>\n

I imagine a cacophony of ideas swirling as we think about our topics with all we can muster\u2014with words from theorists, participants, conference audiences, friends and lovers, ghosts who haunt our studies, characters in fiction and film and dreams\u2014and with our bodies and all the other bodies and the earth and all the things and objects in our lives\u2014the entire assemblage that is a life thinking and, and, and . . . All those data are set to work in our thinking, and we think, and we work our way somewhere in the thinking<\/em> (St. Pierre, 2011:622).<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This blog is itself a collage, of text, found chat, visual gifts, movement, image, thinking, collegiality, generosity of ideas and participation\u2026These were \u2018\u2026 arranged and re-arranged\u2026 to produce new possibilities, new ways of thinking and knowing that have not been previously thought\u2019 (Franklin-Phipps and Rath in Kuby et al 2019:147). <\/em>Co-emergent collages are generative data stories (Koro-Ljungberg, 2016). Ours is not an artistic piece, but a pedagogical documentation, a making in the moment. It includes photographs of watery encounters, lines from texts we found significant in our explorations, emerging ideas and questions, images from the workshop \u2013 of hands, intra-actions of water, paper, ink, rain \u2026 marks, patterns and traces. It is collecting, energising, intensifying, temporary and contingent. In the words of participants:<\/p>\n

\u2018I felt the water was directing my mark making as I got into it.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018The story keeps flowing the water goes where it wants.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For us, the collage continues to raise new questions:<\/p>\n

How to collage experience? <\/em><\/p>\n

How to collage dialogue? <\/em><\/p>\n

How to collage companionship? <\/em><\/p>\n

How to flow hands into art into paper into \u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0words into ideas \u2026 How to water wateriness?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The wateriness of water<\/strong> Merewether (2019:105) reminds us of our \u2018relations of responsibilities inherent in a world where all matter is vibrant and agential.\u2019 \u00a0We appreciate that water will always elude our total knowing, and this encourages us to ponder on how we intra-act with each other.<\/p>\n

Thank you to CEEN for the opportunity to think again with water and attention. We appreciated the engagement, enthusiasm and warmth of the workshop participants. Paying attention and going with the flow, we value the chance to extend conversations, engage in playful co-experimentation that open new possibilities through thinking-with water and respected colleagues and friends. The story keeps flowing as our collage is on-going and provokes our thinking. We invite you to respond to the latest iteration of the collage and to your own new watery encounters.<\/strong><\/p>\n
