And how are certain ideas and stories reproduced and maintained, whereas other stories end up marginalized, untold or unheard, even monsterised? In this collective keynote speech given at the Symposium <em>Monstrous Ontologies: Politics, Ethics, Materiality<\/em> at the University of Roehampton, U.K\u00a0 on 1 July 2019, we grapple with questions of how ideas materialise, and how they are (re-)presented in our own thinking and writing about the monster. For us, the monster is a thinking tool that allows us to explore the supposed divisions between acceptable and unstable or disregarded knowledges or ideas, drawing attention to the production of knowledge, including how knowledge comes to be embodied. Through a collective, multi-voice approach, this talk experiments with incoherence and monstrous origin stories in order to try out how working with the monster require not only themes or topics, but also methods and practices. In this talk, we practice monster methodologies.\u00a0 We aim to bring out how ideas, thoughts and knowledges intersect, overlap and diverge, but also show how certain stories and imaginaries haunt us or intrude in our thinking as unpredictable agents.\u00a0 Through sharing our supposedly separate threads of thought, we experiment with differences as a modus operandi, or a common ground for thinking together. This, we hope, will spawn ways of thinking otherwise about\u00a0 &#8211; and with &#8211; ideas and their materialisations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.-Collective-Voices-Monster-as-Methods_Monster-Talks.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Du finner transkripsjon av episoden her (pdf, \u00e5pnes i nytt vindu)<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3790\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1679-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/erasmus_enfermera_espaola\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.uis.no\/media\/Monster_Talks\/Monster_as_methods.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/erasmus_enfermera_espaola\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.uis.no\/media\/Monster_Talks\/Monster_as_methods.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/erasmus_enfermera_espaola\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.uis.no\/media\/Monster_Talks\/Monster_as_methods.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/erasmus_enfermera_espaola\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.uis.no\/media\/Monster_Talks\/Monster_as_methods.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/?powerpress_pinw=1679-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/erasmus_enfermera_espaola\/dts.podtrac.com\/redirect.mp3\/podcast.uis.no\/media\/Monster_Talks\/Monster_as_methods.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Monster_as_methods.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 26:14 &#8212; ) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('1679-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_1679-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_1679-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;30&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/?powerpress_embed=1679-podcast&amp;amp;powerpress_player=mediaelement-audio&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribebyemail.com\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe by Email\" rel=\"nofollow\">Email<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/nettop.guru\/wordpress\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_more\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More\" rel=\"nofollow\">More<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do ideas come from?
