Résumé

Cet article s’appuie sur mon lien avec les fils à coudre et explore comment le défi en ligne 2020 Massive Microscopic Sensemaking (MMS) a contribué à un enchevêtrement émergent de l’espace-temps lié à COVID-19, à l’enseignement et à la recherche sur l’apprentissage médical en obstétrique, et à la réflexion plus approfondie de mon doctorat . Il explore les processus affirmatifs mis en œuvre pendant les périodes d’anxiété, lorsque mes pensées se frayaient un chemin à travers des espaces intermédiaires avec des moments et des matériaux différents qui étaient génératifs et productifs. J’explique mes mouvements rhizomatiques qui saignent à travers les séparations conventionnelles et les hypothèses de délimitation. Je m’appuie sur le réalisme agential de Karen Barad pour théoriser l’émergence de relations créatives avec des artefacts astucieux mis en scène avec des étudiants de premier cycle en médecine, avec des participants au projet MMS et avec mon propre doctorat en période de tension.

Biographie de l'auteur-e

Veronica Mitchell, University of the Western Cape

Veronica Mitchell (PhD) est associée de recherche au département des études sur les femmes et le genre de l'université de Western Cape et animatrice au département d'obstétrique et de gynécologie de l'université du Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Sa formation de physiothérapeute et ses expériences en matière d'éducation aux droits de l'homme l'ont amenée à s'intéresser au programme d'études médicales et à la force qu'il exerce sur le devenir des étudiants. Son enseignement et ses recherches portent sur la violence obstétricale dans les centres d'accouchement. Dans une perspective posthumaniste, des méthodologies basées sur les arts, comme les dessins et les performances, ont enrichi l'engagement des étudiants. Elle encourage la production de ressources éducatives libres (REL) en tant que partage des connaissances pour le bien public. Ses publications comprennent un blog de recherche, des sites web et des articles de journaux.
