En este seminario, la Dra. Kuby analizó cómo las post filosofías han inspirado sus prácticas pedagógicas con niños. La Dra. Kuby lleva desde 2010 investigando en sus aulas de preescolar (1º, 2º y 5º grado, sistema británico) en colaboración con la maestra Tara Gutshall Rucker. Juntas conceptualizaron el deseo de alfabetización como una forma de pensar sobre el futuro de las alfabetizaciones, inspirándose en las «nuevas» teorías materialistas postestructural, posthumanista y feminista. Su libro, Go be a writer!: Expanding the curricularlines of literacy learning with children (2016, Teachers College Press), she narrates her research on theories and literacies.

What is the desire for literacy?
El deseo de acceder a procesos de alfabetización (el devenir de artefactos tales como libros, películas, obras de teatro, modelos tridimensionales, murales, títeres, etc.) y enfatizar las formas fluidas, a veces no intencionales, ilimitadas y rizomáticas a través de las cuales surgen los artefactos multimodales. intra-acciones con humanos y no humanos (es decir, tiempo, espacio, materiales, ambiente).
The desire for literacy is geared towards the present (ever-changing) needs, wants, and demands of learners with non-humans, but also potential users of literacy artifacts in mind (Kuby & Gutshall Rucker, 2016, p. 4).
