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

Hypothesis of Colonisation of the "Performative Lifeworld" by Instrumental Rationality

Critique (Structural?)


Limitation/Colonisation of the "Performative Lifeworld" by Instrumental Rationality -
The public Discourse on Creativity (potential ideal speech situation) (Habermas) ... is subject to mystification and colonised by instrumental rationality in the form of capital/institutions/ expert interests in the form of language games and norms...
Re male bonding limited to competition/production/consumption?




Positive Response? (Post Structural?)


Although it may seem these systemic/structural  influences are rife and dominant there is always the potential opportunity for tactical responses and creative liberating acts...


Conceptually (creating new concepts (memes) (Deleuze) ).
Physically(setting up free dance spaces etc) and
Socially (social spaces/public groups)
