Reading Anger in Early Childhood Intra-Actions

Abstract

This article is an experiment in diffractive analysis. In a diffractive analysis, research problems, concepts, emotions, transcripts, memories, and images all affect each other and interfere with each other in an emergent process of coming to know something differently. The substantive topic that is worked with to open up this experiment in thought is reading anger in early childhood intra-actions.
