Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

Knowledge - Defn - Perpectives : Lyotard, D,Arcy

Knowledge

Efficiency (Tech), Truth(Denotative), Beauty, Ethical

Lyotard Sarup 134

Technology > Efficiency bias
Commercial motivation> Efficiency bias (use, sale)

leads to mystification and replication for individual commercial gain  academic game

c.f problem inversion where the already available technical means comes to dominate the problem definition process (D'arcy, Systems and Systems Problems)

Also knowledge as stored re knowledge as wisdom

Grand narratives - Emancipation & Spirituality

(This is equivalent to my term "inherent qualities")


Also language games local discursive communities? are they the same?) 


(c,f, Universal knowledge, what about Meta knowledge - about the process of  knowledge making, 
about limits of knowledge?)
