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

Methods/Techniques


Update Jan 2012 

My focus is on Framing (Schon & Rein) and the extensive critical discourse analysis of Fairclough
The work of Wodak concerning allusion  seems relevant..
(I need to figure out what Fairclough includes of Schon and Rein and Wodak...)

The academic discourse and the public discourse perhaps require different approaches...?

I am concerend with exploring if/how those  (instrumental (Habermas)) people/systems concerned with market segmentation set/limit the subject positions  and access  (c.f doxa (Barthes)?)  and how those people/systems from different (communicative (Habermas)) positions (eg those concerned with depicting the  post structural complexity  in academia)  set/limit the subject positions and access... (c.f paradox (Barthes)?)
(and possibly as a consequence the bridge between the public and the academic discourse, or lack of it...)
