ABSTRACT

I believe. I don't believe. Memories as history. History creates the future. Stories create oneself. Two years ago, I was involved in a conference session on post-human theory, organised by Rosie Welch and Nicole Taylor. This session forced me to interrogate my views and explore new connections to post-human scholarship. My position is not to look for new perspectives from 'new' theory. I do not want to argue about the value of post-humanist theory. I do not want to re-rehearse the arguments about new theory. I agree with you and I disagree with you. For now, what I want to argue for is that physical education has been there throughout history, waiting, a gift in time. I use three stories about people and books to propose new (?) dances with post-human theory and alternative critical engagements with environment, technology and animals. My view is that physical education scholarship needs fresh winds and post-human theories, handled with care, can suggest alternative directions for classroom practices.¹1 I want to acknowledge my partner, Eimear Enright, for the help and inspiration to produce this article and to stick by me through good and bad days. The errors in this article are mine but there is a chair in heaven for Eimear.

摘要

我相信。我不相信 回忆作为历史。历史创造未来。故事创造自己。两年前，我参加了由Rosie Welch和Nicole Taylor组织的关于后人类理论的会议。这次会议迫使我审视我的观点，并探索与后人类奖学金的新联系。我的立场不是从“新”理论中寻找新观点。我不想争论后人道主义理论的价值。我不想重新演练有关新理论的论点。我同意你，但我不同意你。就目前而言，我想主张的是，体育教育在整个历史中一直存在，等待着，是及时的礼物。我用三个关于人和故事的故事来提出具有后人类理论的新（？）舞蹈，以及与环境，技术和动物的另类批判性交往。^1个1我要感谢我的搭档Eimear Enright在撰写本文时所提供的帮助和启发，并坚持我在好日子和艰难日子中的经历。本文中的错误是我的，但是Eimear在天堂有一把椅子。
