Andrew Mark Gillott: Writing Sensation

Join on Tuesday 20th Janurary at 6pm as he discusses his new book : Sense, Events and Encounters with Creative-Relational Inquiry.

How do we convey felt, intimate encounters between people, shared objects, spaces, and atmospheres? How do we inquire of moments that make themselves felt with the sparest of signs, in flashing glances and gestures; the felt feeling of relations in which unfamiliar forms take shape? Just how might we set about writing sensation?

Writing Sensation: Sense, Events, and Encounters with Creative-Relational Inquiry takes on these questions with creativity, speculation, and invention. This book illuminates the ‘creative-relational’ as a poietic and transversal concept of an inquiry capable of attending to the way events throw themselves together, and how forms take shape in the interplay of difference. Engaging with postfoundational and postqualitative approaches to inquiry, Writing Sensation offers readers both engaging, creative, and affirmative readings of scholars such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Erin Manning, and Brian Massumi, and enactments of how one may write the immanent moment of emergent circumstances. This book challenges traditional research methods and analysis and offers an approach to writing the sense of an unfolding world that is creative, relational, elusive, and profoundly real.

Writing Sensation will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and students of transdisciplinary and experimental research, post-structural and immanent philosophies, and postfoundational, postqualitative, and creative-relational approaches to inquiry. This book offers a creative and singular engagement with qualitative inquiry, urging a radical openness to the subtle, shifting worlds that unfold in our relational encounters.
