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

Relation between Critique and Liberating Creative Potential

At first glance there may appear to be a contradiction between a Critical Social Perspective and the aim of facilitating the unfolding of Human Creative Potential...

Such a contradiction may be a consequence of taking a simplistic stereotypical perspective on the Postmodern Project...

(Add Quote Jameson F.)

Could motivation of the economic elite who profit from creating and maintaining  a mass market for their own creative endeavours  (via mass marketing techniques informed by psychological techniques (Bernaise))   be perceived to go hand in hand with the mystification of creativity as the "individual property of genius" and the reification/normalisation of creative conciousness onto specific forms of consumption.
(quote from Post structuralism)

Could Unpacking this popular myth  potentially forward the realisation of the popular liberating concept of "collective inherent creative potential" accessible via a combination of "focus" and "random expressive flow"?
