Vagle tells a story of three visceral moments from his childhood—that together he now reads as entangled intensities (Deleuze & Guattari, A thousand plateaus: Capitalism and schizophrenia, 1987), which have settled in his socially classed, White body (Jones & Vagle, Educational Researcher, 42(3), 129–141, 2013).The first moment centers on moving to a new house when he was six years old. He calls this embodied moment pride. The second moment takes place a couple of years later at his first overnight at a friend's house. He calls this embodied moment concern. The third moment takes place when, at 18, he left his town for a private liberal arts college. He calls this embodied moment loneliness.Vagle closes this fleshpoint, by exploring what intensities might be produced, today, when he theorizes pride-concern-loneliness as inseparable socially classed entanglements.
