Abstract
In this article, I put postintentionality in dialogue with de/colonizing ontoepistemologies to identify where these perspectives converge and diverge. Informed by Vagle’s notion that a particular idea may have virtue in one discipline while considered a given in another, I explore the possibilities of hybridized, interdisciplinary work that crosses various borders. By placing these fluid disciplinary discourses in dialogue, I identify a shift in my thinking that situates nonsense and play as de/colonial moves by highlighting the subversive and lasting effects of a children’s text written in India during British rule. Certain poststructural ideas have become so well established in my discipline (and others) that they have become a given, which has prompted me to immerse myself in exploring the role of nonsense and play in de/coloniality.
