Abstract

A minor research and educational language is deterritorialized, political, and has collective value moving "head over heels and away." Through taking language to its limits, to the desert, the main object is to engage not only critique and extract, hopefully creating spaces for collective subjectivity intensities, for change, and for social justice. This is thus about the beingness of engagement and ontological becomings: becoming imperceptible, becoming minor loud and clear accountable, and a pedagogy of the concept and learning. It is an honest hard toughening up allowing us to say more and other ultimately avoiding silencing and where I think we need to go.
