This article, this porous writing, illustrates (and not) some parts of the becoming of the PhD thesis of the author. The PhD and this writing discuss and challenge research writing and arguing, and fumble and experiment toward something slightly new, open-ended and nothing-easy-or-needed-to-explain-or-understand. This writing/entanglement includes/materializes within poems, or movements-toward-poems, and love letters, as well as digressions, and steps “back and forth.” This is done in playful (and serious) joy with poststructural, postqualitative, and (new) materialist theories. This is (and is not) also a response to Professor Graham Badley’s welcome response to the author’s earlier article. One, not-yet/ever-solved, and/but-always-new question remains: What to think about/with the subjectivity of the writer/researcher, thus who/what is writing?
