Abstract

Abstract: A great deal has been written about the representational use of metaphor to understand teacher candidates'/new teachers' conceptions of teacher practice. This article will discuss recent research that explored secondary visual art teacher candidates'/new teachers' visualising of visual metaphors to provoke their a/r/tographical inquiry into their perceptions of practice. This article engages with the Deleuzian conception becoming as well as the ontology of difference to provoke the reimagination of metaphor in research. We offer new understandings about visualising the visual in research and the methodological implications of relational research practices.
