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

Tripolar Concept of Creation/Recreation



Placing Authors?



I see creativity in the context of the conceptual distinctions of 'Reason', 'Flow' and 'Awareness' 

Reason: Rationality/Distinction
Awareness: Listening/ Sensitivity/Inclusivity 
Flow: Expressive Arts


Certain authors/position embrace to an extent the awareness and flow aspects,   at best ?  attempting to extend/expand the concept of  reason to include the traditionally excluded. (Derrida) (Habermas) (Foucault?).. some seem to abandon 'reason' taking a polemical stance against it as a meta narrative (Deleuze) (Lyotard) they use what I would call a 'meta narrative'' to do this.

Such a map could be used as  a basis for a research tool?  for subjects to place / order discourses
perhaps (Perhaps it is far to simple...)


For example people could place specific  Discourses on the map?
Re University Departments?

However the terms would need to be defined  much more clearly.... 
what is "reason" (instrumental/communicative(Habermas) Geneology/Archeology(Foucault?))



It seems clear that more extreme versions of these 3 positions can stereotype the others.

These could perhaps relate to the Theatrical/Performative/Celebrity - the Ecozoic - (Awareness and) Technozoic/Corporate - (Rationality) World Views/Perspectives
 (Swimme B.) for example...


There seems some association to the basic map from Transactional Psychology (Parent/Child/Adult)
