In the article the author presents new trends in the humanities defined as a turn toward materiality, or the performative turn, as well as new theories in the philosophy of science, such as actor-network theory (ANT / Actor-Network Theory) developed by Bruno Latour. Although many publications are still dominated by the metaphor of a world of culture perceived as text, it is worth noting that both the humanities and contemporary art have already attempted to refer to the world seen as a dynamic and changing phenomenon. Therefore, (future) pedagogy appears to be particularly concerned with the question of how non / or post / textual approaches in science and non standard artistic activities rejecting the principle of expression / representation (performance ), are changing concepts of a subject, identity and a way of understanding the relationship between a man and the world, especially in the perspective of the distortion of the hierarchical structures such as humans / non-human, organic / non-organic, mind / body, science / art.

The aim of the article is to analyse aesthetic encounters in Danish early childhood and care (ECEC) centres and create knowledge of and a language for aesthetics as sensitive encounters and vibrant matters between humans and the world. The article thus challenges traditional assumptions about and understandings of aesthetics as simply impression, expression, and rather formal hands-on work (also referred to as ‘aesthetic learning processes’). The article links to fieldwork taking place in two Danish ECEC centres – a kindergarten (3–5-year-olds) and an age-integrated centre for kindergarten groups and nursery groups (0–2-year-olds). The fieldwork is framed as focused ethnography, and the methods used are written and visual field notes (video recording, photos) and interviews with artists who visited the ECEC centres and worked with the pedagogues. In the analysis process, the author revisits the empirical data and dwells on micro-moments that, in the article, are sampled into vignettes. With and through theoretical perspectives related to aesthetics as sensitive, vibrant, intra-active, and entangled encounters with materiality, new insights appear and lead to findings that highlight aesthetics as subtle and informal processes engaging materiality as a symmetric co-player alongside the artists and pedagogues and in support of children’s aesthetic agency.

The focus of my paper are modern conceptualizations of the extra-discursive, non-symbolic primal materiality of the real, transcendent world. My reconstructions indicate that modern philosophical, literary theoretical and literary representations of the chaotic, autonomous matter of the world along with the subjective experience of the presence of such a domain employ mainly aquatic and nautical metaphors for various representations that all stem from the similar or analogous basic metaphysical and anthropological assumptions.
