DESCRIPTION:This short film opens with a question that is at the heart of m
 y doctoral study: \n\nWhat might it mean to learn with the city?\n\nCities
 \, meaning more than mere backdrops\, are envisioned as entangled partners
  in designing possibilities for learning among art and design learners in 
 higher education. Within the larger umbrella of post-qualitative enquiry\,
  the city is considered an assemblage of human\, material\, historical\, i
 nfrastructural and more-than-human actors that shape what can be sensed\, 
 noticed and known. Posthumanism and Barad's concept of intra-action attune
  the researcher and city as they "become" through encounters and relationa
 l entanglements.\n\nFrom this theoretical grounding\, the film turns to th
 e study's methodological enactment: Becoming with the City: An assemblage 
 walk. The researcher enacts a loosely bounded activation in the city of La
 hore. The site is held long enough to ask what happens and what dialogue a
 nd exchanges take place between the walker\, place and the more-than-human
 .\n\nThe method unfolds through four fluid phases of attunement. The first
  phase is an open-ended invitation to traverse the city\, calling walkers 
 to immerse themselves in its surroundings and question its layers and turn
 s – following a sound\, a colour\, a shadow\, or perhaps a section of th
 e walkway\, without a predetermined route. The second phase moves to docum
 enting three locations\, each explored long enough to ask what is at play 
 there: what dialogues\, exchanges\, or collaborations are unfolding betwee
 n walker\, place\, and the more-than-human. Parallel to this\, the third p
 hase gathers five fragments from the city - photographs\, textures\, found
  objects\, audio-video recordings\, and traces of movement - each interpre
 ted in a single sentence: This fragment matters because…\n\nThe walk con
 cludes with its fourth phase: a period of sustained reflection\, a continu
 ous ten- to fifteen-minute writing prompted by the line\, 'During this wal
 k I did not move through the city\; rather\, the city and I discussed\, ex
 perienced\, and engaged together…\n\nRather than describing the walk fro
 m a distance\, the film narrates the process of walking\, wandering\, and 
 embodied noticing with the city: material entanglements\, layered historie
 s\, and a shift in attention from the visual towards the sensory and the a
 ffective and beyond.\n\nIn doing so\, the film argues that embodied and en
 tangled post-qualitative methodology offers access to relational and affec
 tive urban knowledge that conventional research instruments cannot reach. 
 It further renders legible the city's potential for pedagogical becoming t
 hrough sustained\, attentive encounter.  It closes with an invitation exte
 nded to the viewer: to question\, consider and explore their own cities an
 d their potential to establish a reciprocal\, fluid and relational pedagog
 ical exchange.
