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

Background and Research Interest Development...


Background:

I  developed an interest at Degree level concerning     "willingness  to explore alternative perspectives & concept packages." ( This concerns tolerance and prejudice,Value flexibility <> Rationality)
I became interested in concepts of  Inherent Organisation, Self-Organising Dynamics & Emergence. and exploring their potential  and accessibility in creative practice via  a concept of  "Random Expressive Flow"

(related to "poetic styles" in initial  research plan  utilising Kellys/PCP/Repgrid:  (Humanist/Constructivist?)(Classical (Structure) - Freestyle (Flow))
>


Literature Review >  Question of Humanism > Centred Self?, Structuralist Meaning, Binary Scale of Rep Grid and Sychronic?


>?
Researching the means of  ... possibly one of  intersubjective, cultural , institutional/departmental? understanding and facilitating dialog (communicative rationality) re : technical - representational rationality (structure) and the improvisational performative (agency)…

Using concept of "Random Expressive Flow" ? in the context of potential Self-Organising Dynamics and Emergence. (re psychological types (Jung)?
---

conceptual creativity:  working defn  "to identify question and experiment with alternatives to  our patterned assignment of values and boundaries"

*"Bringing  autonomous? patterns of distinction/thought/practise/discourse into concious awareness  (expressing them in language?) and rationally questioning them,  discussing them  (social) and experimentally trying alternatives (listening)"

Absolute boundaries  and  polarised rhetoric in the context of the flat plane of post structuralist thought? Hicks   (and the performative (groningen))
