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

Research Questions Updated

Working Questions


M+? Althusser


How does capitalist ideology and interpellation (Althusser) restrict access to / frame  randomness/random journeying

How can spaces for the discussion/practise of Randomness/Random journeying be protected/reclaimed?
- limited dimension
-structural focus

P M- Habermas


How does Instrumental rationality/strategic discourse and interpellation(?)colonise /  the space for  discussion of Randomness/Random Journeying, how could communicative discourse enable


How can spaces for the discussion/practise of Randomness/Random journeying be protected/reclaimed from the colonisation of instrumental rationality/strategic discourse?
- Some argue Habermas is a Modernist
- critical focus can be seen as negatively constructive

discourse analysis - Fairclough


Post Structural


What is the positive/negative academic discourse around randomness/random journeying
Public discourse
Subject positions, Exclusion/Binary oppositions


A concern with construction in the context of a flat plane of  free space, this is based linguistic constructivism. 


More dimensions are acknowledged, 


+ more balanced?
+ linguistic related to  
- susceptible to binary coding (complex-simple) and capital
- limited to linguistic? + this is methodological so correct


frame analysis
discourse analysis


Post Marxist - Massumi - 


Emergence <> constructivism,  immanence of quality  re exclusive constructed quality?


How does individual choose / access potential movements of value (emancipation) (expressive flows) (Collective Earth based emergence) in the context of  the capitalist dynamic (flows) of perceived affordance, and market forces/digital systems moulding  roles/subject positions?


My position shifts back to one that acknowledges humanist  aims / and emancipation but  not in the negative  binary sense some  post structuralists assume... rather grounded in an earth centered source of multidimensional emergent flow.  




(this needs rewriting and reducing , I may be mixing method and question in places, is Massumi related to subject)




(I recognise the need for some positive useful dynamic balance between post-structural linguistic and the focus on emancipation of critical theory )
