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

Targeting of Research

My initial interest was  to enable  - people to research/elicit their own constructs...of creative potential - and value of random expressive flow


Visitors of  TheBridge   ( a prototype of an attempt to provide a pathway for the technically trained/limited to access their creative/expressive side) I am considering developing this as an open source social network...





Individuals explore their  own constructs of  their own random expressive Flow - Value of it > Space given for exploring it- to individuals in different contexts.

The plan was:
1."Elicit and  clarify what individual (Visitor online) construction of creativity... (using Webgrid)
2. Read quotes of famous artists/inventors
3. Expriment with random Generators
4.Try Focus and Random Flow Exercises(Bridge)
5. Re elicit and compare with self / others
6. Discuss in Forums


Flow Exercises (Lat Think, Poetry(Poeisis), Music(W/Shop), Performance(Random Walks, Dance W/Shops),

Much of the course has concerned the Social Construction of other people / discourses... meanings etc...

This could be useful if I choose to explore for example:

Art Dept - Students? Staff?
Art Dept - Documents - Brochures - Courses? Discourses
