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

Random Expressive Flow : Metaphor of Water

Metaphor  of water - as Common resource >

"It a very real discourse that the Ghangees is a divine mother, she has her own standing,and the government cannot block her flow, she has the right to flow free...that's the basis of fighting the dams... "(Vandana Shiva V)

Balancing quote, ( about judgement, discernment, protection  and the need for boundaries and "The power of preserving achievement"  "fitting the dynamics of the community/eco system" etc  the Membrane (7.00m)   -Swimme B))



Eg in regard to it's analogs, for example:


In Visual Art: Abstract Expressionism


In performance: Improvisation
Fluxus
Hawkins "Free Flow"


In Theory:
PataPhysics: Baudrillard
Flow : Csikszentmihalyi

These could be considered, to use the metaphor, like bottled water with added technical and secret ingredients to create a commodity with it's required, 'access rules',  experts and containers and labels....


> Research Question:
How do those aspects of discourse that are responsible for the promoting the  perception of REF as Public Common resource relate to those who are respoinsible for "adding value" to REF as a basic ingredient of  private commodity, and devising new ones?


How does this relate to the discourse re "Safety", "Validity", "Relevance""Pollution" etc


Validity> Credibility Transferability Dependability, Confirmability. (Denzin and Lincoln)

Reflexivity : Is there a niche here? or have I just changed the language  (added a layer of complexity) to define one?
Is such a concept of "Random Expressive Flow" too simple? To who and why?
