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

Ideas about Data Gathering

The derive provides the opportunity to meet and question/interview people re their view/knowledge of the random journeying...
At this stage I am exploring some simple questions:

Have you heard of the word 'Derive'?
Have you ever been on a Random Journey? What type / when?
Do you think Random Journeying could be of value?
In what ways?

I am exploring asking these and recording the answers via phone/recorder
Or on printing them on cards an handing them out, with a web address of  a survey ( I may need a competition as enticement)
The advantage of either methods are different:

Recording aural response:
More likely to get answers


Handing out cards:
More opportunity for elaboration
