Unearthing the forces of globalisation in educational research through Guattari's cartographic method

Rosi Braidotti has said that: "The global system of post-industrial and newly industrializing worlds ... function ... in a fragmented and all-pervasive manner ... [yet] power relations in globalization are more ruthless than ever," (Angelaki J, Theor Humanit 17(2):169-176, 2012, p. 169). In order to deal with ruthless power relations in education, this chapter builds an activist framework for research based on the writing of Felix Guattari (Schizoanalytic cartographies (Trans, A. Goffey). Bloomsbury, London, 2013). Guattari moved beyond analytical frameworks to express the relationships contained in superdiversity (Vertovec, Ethnic Racial Stud 30(6): 1024-1054, 2007), capitalism and subjectivity. This chapter explains the unconscious diagram from Guattari and applies it to young Muslims in Australia on Facebook and Sudanese families in Australia.
