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

Re Research Position before Worldwide Derive (July 2012)

I attempted to Elicit personal academic constructs for different authors/traditions and myself and see where I ("SRT") fitted.. using  OpenRepGrid?







re elicitation -  I was reluctant to place myself via the binary oppositions (constructs) I am using  and am not sure they are correct/appropriate re others , as the deny different levels or types!


eg a persistant (individual) aspect to  identity /a socially constructed  aspect  to identity /a universal aspect to identity

or "safety" and "openess" an be considered complimentary and/or contradictory


(may suggest deconstructive position)

It seems obvious facebook et al are doing something like this with our data connecting it to consumption preferences and cognitive styles etc, it would be better if this was accessible on the surface of social networks accessible by the users for translation between construct systems this could  enable understanding and tolerance...
