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

Foucault intro to Anti Oedipus



  • Develop action, thought and desires by proliferation, juxtaposition, and disjunction, and not by subdivision and pyramidal hierarchization.
Dont rationally impose it/ plan it let it emerge... via Random Expressive Flow experiments...

  • Withdraw allegiance from the old categories of the Negative (law, limit, castration, lack, lacuna), which Western thought has so long held sacred as a form of power and  an access to reality. Prefer what is positive and multiple, difference over uniformity, flows over unities, mobile arrangement over systems. Believe what is productive is not sedentary but nomadic.
Get over your critical barriers  allow flow of expression...

  • Do not think that one has to be sad in order to be militant, even though the thing one is fighting is abominable
  • .Enjoy the process

  • It is the connection of desire to reality (and not its retreat into the forms of representation) that possesses revolutionary force.
authenticity

  • Do not demand of politics that it restores the “rights” of the individual as philosophy has defined them. The individual is the product of power. What is needed is to “de-individualize” by means of multiplication and displacement, diverse combinations. The groups must not be the organic bond uniting hierarchized individuals, but a constant generator of de-individualization.
Allow Dynamic self organisation to occur

  • Do not become enamored of power.




Don’t Abandon this mutual emergence in exchange for security of  knowing =‘position’



Non violent? Univocity ? Love?
