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 )
