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

Derrida

Deconstruction as a term arises in Heidiggers "Deconstruction of Metaphysics"


Writing being under erasure (line through word "being")


Margins of Philosophy - contextualise

"being is ? philosophy has not yet reached closure in 2500 years, obviously it is not quite in the spirit of capitalism to engage in this enterprise..."

For Derrida

Language is not constituted by reference....
Words do not stand for things, they stand in for them
Reversal, words are part of systems of language... (Game Rules) - roles rules stratagy...
Language is not constituted by intention... (hence no such thing as the  "right interpretation")
Interpretation doesn't end,  there is no closure....

Derrida doesn't claim all readings are equally valid... that is a straw person argument.

No ends to the flows of information... meaning is not fixable...

Deconstruction is like housework, it always some to do
