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

Conceptual Creativity

The conditions that enable creativity...

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 (action research?)


eg

The dialectic of Random Expressive Flow and Critical Knowledge ( re Representational Knowledge)
eg  re singing - searching for emergent univocity (cooperative/mutual aspect) as a possibility via appreciating random expressive flow...
Explore possible benefits of mutual causality   (Buddhist) (Macy)



Conceptual (De Bono/Deleuze) -  Poetic/Intuitive (Poeisis/Heidegger)  - Improvisational/Performative(Eshleman)
------------------------------------------------Random Expressive Flow--------------------------------------------------->
Diagram 1 : As we move along from left to right  we move from the conceptual to the embodied.
