LINES OF FLIGHT OF A DEAF BABY: ENTANGLEMENTS AND AGENCIES IN THE PROCESSES OF SUBJETIFICATION AND EDUCATION

Abstract

The article presents reflections from a cartographic research with a deaf baby,
questioning the anthropocentric dimension of understanding the agency and also highlights the
role of material flows in the subjectification process of babies, through the contributions of
posthhumanist thought. For this, Ingold, Deleuze, Guattari, Moss and Braidotti were the main
interlocutors, with entanglements/ meshwork and intra-actions standing out as epistemological
constructs in these contexts. From this conceptual turn, the implications for the pedagogical field
and for Childhood Studies are also discussed. After reflecting on the material flows of the sound
and other feelings in this process, the research contextualizes and highlights the concept of
anthropocentric agency, against arguing for the consideration of the force of things / materials in the subjective processes of babies and children that come to be understood from new hybrid
references, entangled, as beings "leaked" by (towards) the world. Such an analytical dimension can
reverberate in the educational area, based on the pedagogical sensitivity that, in order to constitute
and project, assumes unpredictability and the multiple / entangled / complex aspects involved in
children's agencies.
