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

Appreciative space for "Emergent Univocity" ? - how is this Framed?

The concept of "Appreciative space for Emergent Univocity"  seems appropriate ...

Univocity acknowledges the possibility of a wholistic aspect c.f the post structural "flat plane' relativity
It acknowledges the potential value of the  inclusive


+ Universal Narratives 





Re "the bridge" as offering a space  to explore express and discuss this...

in the context of 'systems of thought that naturalise certain forms of domination" Layder on Foucault and Ideology

c.f my previous terms "Random Expressive Flow" "Inherent Creative Potential"

it points to the potential for harmony to emerge ... and the need to allow space for this process

Can be Internal & External


Obstacles:

Fear
Expert interests imposing "correct" forms before exploring emergence fully
Ideology & Naturalisation of 'Bounded Self'
Private Ownership of Public Space.
Security Threats (Potential for exploitation/abuse) Ethical Practice
Security Threats being exaggerated by those with interests in reducing access to emergent univocity
