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

Foucault Question (being rewritten)

Context 


How the Dominant discourse of Institution / Expertise (Art/Design Dept?),   (its systems of norms, techniques,types of classification, modes of characterisation (1972:45) position subjects, re Random Expressive Flow.


How does the discourse around the introduced concept of "Random Expressive Flow" develop .... (perhaps measured / recorded during a random journey ) ?


 (Does it  lead people on "safe walks" (Foucault)  due to the the internalised paranoia of panopticism etc... how does this relate to existensial/ecological safety?)



Could/ Should / How is/can the marginalised discourse?" 


Random Expressive Flow be introduced supported... in a modernist institution?

How does the Art dept fulfill this role...


How could technology be used (Bridge)


Methods:

(possibility random journey to interview people selected randomly re discourse around random expressive flow)
(Use tech to update blog/twitter etc with research results)?
