A feeding hawk, a sculpture of a fallen robot, and chalk markings pointing to a slave cemetery—each of these objects was unexpectedly encountered during walking interviews on a college campus. This article explores these object encounters in turn as provocations toward the potential for walking as a method to generate interventions in the reproduction of hegemonic spaces. Specifically, this paper takes up the Deleuzoguattarian concepts of the rhizome and the assemblage to explore how the practice of walking makes possible creative and imaginative explorations in the relationship between objects and place. Methodologically, walking produces the possibility for affirmative difference in the interview, a positive embrace of reading objects as complex and connected through an embodied enactment of rhizomes and assemblages. Inquiry that thinks with rhizomes and assemblages connects disparate encounters, moments, and objects through affirmative difference, embracing connections and relations. This article suggests implications for how the walking interview might engender reflective entanglements of theory and methodology, resist extractive methods, as well as produce imaginative reconceptualisations of place, and interventions and disruptions of hegemonic narratives.

鹰，机器人和粉笔：在大学校园里的步行采访中遇到意外的对象

一只喂食的鹰，一个堕落的机器人的雕塑以及指向一个奴隶墓地的粉笔标记-在大学校园里的步行采访中意外遇到了这些物体。本文依次探讨了这些对象的遭遇，这是对潜在步行的挑衅，它是一种在霸权空间的再现中产生干预的方法。具体而言，本文采用根茎和组合的半透明概念，以探索步行的方式如何使物体和位置之间的关系成为可能，从而进行创造性和富有想象力的探索。从方法上讲，步行会产生访谈中肯定差异的可能性，积极拥抱阅读对象的复杂性，并通过根茎和组合的体现将它们联系起来。用根茎和集合体进行思考的询问通过肯定的差异（包含联系和关系）将不同的遭遇，时刻和物体联系起来。本文提出了一些建议，涉及步行访谈如何可能引起理论和方法学的反思纠缠，抵制提取方法以及对地点产生想象力的重新概念化，霸权叙事的干预和破坏。
