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

Creativity - Inclusive -Elitist?


 "The old approach was centred on giving people access to high culture as passive consumers. Our philosophy was to reach towards something hopefully more fulfilling and meaningful, with people given the tools to be part of the conversation themselves. The big idea was to nurture citizens with creative capabilities. For this we needed new and different programmes.
It's easy to underestimate the importance of this. The creative industries remain the fastest-growing sector of the economy; more jobs are being created here than anywhere else. Socially, too, creative expression is central to citizenship, equipping people to express themselves and communicate ideas and emotions as part of a wider democratic conversation. Most of all, many people believe culture is essential to a good life. Music, dance, literature and the visual arts open up a rich and intensely rewarding world. It is a world that should not be the preserve of the few.
