For a posthumanist or agential realist, 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜child에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™ is constituted by other human and more-than-human relations and this articulation of child subjectivity (에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜[the] child에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™) can cause profound philosophical tensions, dilemmas and misunderstandings. I continue to wonder and be curious about where child studies might turn to next in its exploration of what it means to decentre (the) child human.

In my presentation I re-turn to this complexity by playing with the lenses of the human 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜eye에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™ and the eye of the camera. In many research projects little attention is paid to the materiality of recording devices used to 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜collect에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™ data. They are often invisible in what eventually comes to be 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜research data에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™.

Through a carefully selected video clip of a current research project about multispecies death and dying, the reader/viewer engages with how lenses are used differently in quantitative (child-as-object), qualitative (child-as-subject), and postqualitative (child-as-phenomenon) research. The play with lenses opens up affirmative decolonising possibilities for reconfiguring Adult/child, and Human/more-than-human relationalities.
