Weaving together post-qualitative theories, critical scholarship, and my own lived experiences spanning over 30 years in Mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and the U.S., this multi-genre inquiry explores how critical literacy practices and what has come to be known as neoliberalism are entangled in what we do, how we get to know, and who we become in our everyday lives. Thinking with Barad and St. Pierre, I write this inquiry as a way of mapping, moving, and becoming, with which I hope to create entry points to (1) engaging with the barely intelligible and the "everyday" and (2) considering what some of the hegemonic discourses "do" to us and what we can "do" with them.
