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

The 'Holy Moment' and the 'Narrative Wrapper'


"Truffaut always said the best films aren't made--
The best scripts don't make the best films...
because they have that kind of literary, narrative thing that you¿re sort of a slave to.
The best films are the ones that aren't tied to that slavishly.
So, um-- So-- I don't know--
The whole narrative thing seems to me like--
Obviously, there's narrativity to cinema 'cause it's in time,
just the way there's narrativity to music.
You don't first think of the story of the song, then make the song.
It has to come out of the moment.
That's what film has. It's just that moment, which is holy."

'Waking Life'   (Animation) Linklater R. 2001
