Abstract
What matter? What theories? Does it matter what matter? Does it matter what theories I am grappling with if I am becoming something new with my past data? When considering bodies, and phenomena as the product of assemblages, association and relations between human and non human worlds, do I need to collect data within this ontological framing? Does the onto-metho-epistemological paradigm of my collecting, limit my possibilities of encountering my data differently? Drawing on Karen Barad’s diffractive ways of seeing, by reading with, not against data and allowing the data to work through me, this chapter explores the grappling of engaging with a retrospective reading of past child-dog-body data from La Paz Bolivia.
