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

Some more complex questions


Prescriptives can continue to impose material solutions on masses (market driven science)

A few "Interpretives" can claim we can view the world any way we want so what is the problem.
 (strong constructivism)

Individualise  Solutions  & Problems) re Negotiate Positions.

Is the flattening of the plane a move in the game... an attempt to disarm the 'other' that is perceived as the "system"

IS the conseqence a drive to endless complexity from one side and a love of simple binary caracature on the other ?

A rational discussion of assumptions (meta narrative?) , a post-structuralist preemptive battle of presumed irreconcilable world views  what counts as education?
