Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

We, now colleagues, look to our “first” collective encounter with Deleuze and Guattari that took place in a university course on poststructuralism, where one of us was the teacher and three were students. This encounter still disturbs us. And new and different encounters happen each time we reread A Thousand Plateaus, revisit our previous conversations, and/or rewrite this manuscript. Each encounter produces a new trail(ing). We follow some of these trail(ing)s and write this manuscript as an invitation for other students and teachers not to rush to understanding. We find great possibility comes from (re)encountering these readings that leave us confused, distressed, and/or scared, because these readings and the (re)encounters that follow also leave us open to new possible intra-actions and be(com)ings with/in the world.
