Practising Immanence: Living with Theory and Environmental Education
makes creative contributions to both qualitative inquiry and
environmental education by exploring how each of these ideas seep and
fuse into one another, creating a space where methodology becomes
pedagogy, and where each of these is already always environmental:
indivisible with life. Clarke’s energising and innovative approach
offers a challenge to conventional research practices and shows ways
in which inquiry can be done differently. Drawing on new materialisms,
affect theory and the practical philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix
Guattari, the book details the PhD journey of the author, merging
stories and theory (and stories of theory) in the production of eight
‘haecceities’ – a philosophical concept which prioritises the
thisness of a thing or event. This move allows a novel methodological
approach whereby the haecceities act as sites of variation on the
events of the book: the self as unstable and posthuman; the
environment as everything (immanent) rather than as an overly romantic
or a green version of nature; and the tensions that these moves create
for ethical orientations in education, inquiry and life in the
Anthropocene. Practising Immanence brings theory to life through a
diffractively critical style and a unique approach to environmental
pedagogic practice. This radical and vitalising book will be of
interest to those inspired to explore environmental problems and
inquiry with each other and to those drawn to creative-relational,
narrative, embodied and post-qualitative approaches to research.
