Individuation – the process by which social individuals become differentiated one from the other; to separate something; making something unique
Gilbert Simondon (1925-1989)
-one of the most influential contemporary French philosophers
-process of individuation—that is, how individuals come into being, persist, and transform
“The individual is never given in advance; it must be produced, it must coagulate, or come into being, in the course of an ongoing process.”
Deconstruction – breaking down or analyzing something to discover its true significance
Jacques Derrida (1930-2004)
-Algerian-born French-Jewish philosopher best known for developing a form of semiotic analysis known as deconstruction, which he discussed in numerous texts, and developed in the context of phenomenology
“What cannot be said above all must not be silenced but written.”

Becoming – new way of being that is a function of influences rather than resemblances; not a process of imitation or analogy
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995)
-French writer and antirationalistic philosopher
“A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.” – (Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia)

Donald Schön (1930-1997)
- was a philosopher and professor in urban planning at MIT who developed the concept of reflective practice and contributed to the theory of organizational learning
“The reflective practitioner allows himself to experience surprise, puzzlement, or confusion in a situation which he finds uncertain or unique. He reflects on the phenomenon before him, and on the prior understandings which have been implicit in his behavior. He carries out an experiment which serves to generate both a new understanding of the phenomenon and a change in the situation.”

Anthony Giddens (1938- )
- a British sociologist who is known for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies
“There is a global revolution going on in how we think of ourselves and how we form ties and connections with others. It is a revolution advancing unevenly in different regions and cultures, with many resistances. As with other aspects of the runaway world, we don't know what the ratio of advantages and anxieties will turn out to be. In some ways, these are the most difficult and disturbing transformations of all. Most of us can tune out from larger problems for much of the time. We can't opt out, however, from the swirl of change reaching right into the heart of our emotional lives.” – (Anthony Giddens, Runaway World)

Assemblage theory is an ontological framework developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, originally presented in their book A Thousand Plateaus (1980). Assemblage theory provides a bottom-up framework for analyzing social complexity by emphasizing fluidity, exchangeability, and multiple functionalities. Assemblage theory asserts that, within a body, the relationships of component parts are not stable and fixed; rather, they can be displaced and replaced within and among other bodies, thus approaching systems through relations of exteriority.
Pierre-Felix Guattari (1930-1992)
-was a French psychotherapist, philosopher, semiologist, and activist
“Writing for nobody? Impossible. You fumble, you stop. I don’t even take the trouble of expressing myself so that when I reread myself I can understand whatever it was I was trying to say. Gilles will figure it out, he’ll work it through.”
Manuel DeLanda (1952- )
-is a Mexican-American writer, artist and philosopher
-his works focuses on theories of modern science, self-organizing matter, artificial life and intelligence, economics, architecture, chaos theory, history of science, nonlinear dynamics, cellular automata
“Imperfect Knowledge, Incomplete Assessment Of Feedback, Limited Memory And Recall, As Well As Poor Problem-solving Skills Result In A Form Of Rationality That Attains Not Optimal Decisions But More Or Less Satisfactory Compromises Between Conflicting Constraints.”
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
-was a Bengali poet and short-story writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913
“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.”

-is an American critic, writer, and teacher, known for his specialties on the cultural, social and political implications of modern communication media such as the Internet, mobile telephony and virtual communities
“Any virtual community that works, works because people put in some time.”
David Joseph Bohm (1917-1992)
-was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.
-to address societal problems during his later years, Bohm wrote a proposal for a solution that has become known as "Bohm Dialogue", in which equal status and "free space" form the most important prerequisites of communication and the appreciation of differing personal beliefs.
“The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.”
Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975)
-was a Russian philosopher, literary critic, semiotician and scholar who worked on literary theory, ethics, and the philosophy of language.
-he has been called "the philosopher of human communication”
“Truth is not born nor is it to be found inside the head of an individual person, it is born between people collectively searching for truth, in the process of their dialogic interaction.”

“Management of aesthetics of storytelling” - An aesthetics perspective on storytelling contributes to an understanding of how and why some stories are more effective than others
Ante-narrative - fragmented, non-linear, collective disorganization that is pre-narrative; it is the constitutive of the totality of storytelling, including its entities, narrative and living story
Pre-individual - The concrete being or the full being, which is to say, the preindividual being, is a being that is more than a unit. Unity (characteristic of the individuated being and of identity), which authorizes the use of the principle of the excluded middle, cannot be applied to the preindividual being... Unity and identity are applicable only to one of the being's stages, which comes after the process of individuation
Bruno Latour (1947- )
-is a French philosopher, anthropologist and sociologist
-book: “Reassembling the Social”
-one of the primary developers of the Actor-Network Theory
Actor Network Theory - is a theoretical and methodological approach to social theory where everything in the social and natural worlds exists in constantly shifting networks of relationships. It theorizes that nothing exists outside those relationships. All the factors involved in a social situation are on the same level, and thus there are no external social forces beyond what and how the network participants interact at present. Thus, objects, ideas, processes, and any other relevant factors are seen as just as important in creating social situations as humans.
“Using a slogan from ANT, you have 'to follow the actors themselves', that is try to catch up with their often wild innovations in order to learn from them what the collective existence has become in their hands, which methods they have elaborated to make it fit together, which accounts best define the new associations that they have been forced to established.”
― Bruno Latour, Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory
Brenda Laurel (1950- )
-is a video game designer and researcher and a pioneer in developing virtual reality
“In the 'world of immersion,' authorship is no longer the transmission of experience, but rather the construction of utterly personal experiences.”

Luce Irigaray (1930 - )
-is a Belgian-born French feminist, philosopher, linguist, psycholinguist, psychoanalyst and cultural theorist
“We cannot share the world as it already is, with the exception of the natural world. The world that we can share is always and still to be elaborated by us and between us starting from the perception and affirmation of what and who we are as humans here and now."
Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017)
-was a Polish Jew, sociologist and philosopher
-“Liquid Modernity”: term for the present condition of the world as contrasted with the "solid" modernity that preceded it. According to Bauman, the passage from "solid" to "liquid" modernity created a new and unprecedented setting for individual life pursuits, confronting individuals with a series of challenges never before encountered. Social forms and institutions no longer have enough time to solidify and cannot serve as frames of reference for human actions and long-term life plans, so individuals have to find other ways to organize their lives
“The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.”

Participant observation - Participant observation is a qualitative research method in which the researcher studies a group not only by observing the group, but also by participating in the activities of the group
Social construction of reality - refers to the theory that the way we present ourselves to other people is shaped partly by our interactions with others, as well as by our life experiences
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory that focuses on the relationships among individuals within a society. Communication—the exchange of meaning through language and symbols—is believed to be the way in which people make sense of their social worlds. Theorists Herman and Reynolds (1994) note that this perspective sees people as being active in shaping the social world rather than simply being acted upon.
Action Research - is a philosophy and methodology of research generally applied in the social sciences. It seeks transformative change through the simultaneous process of taking action and doing research, which are linked together by critical reflection
Duncan J Watts (1971 - )
- describes his research as exploring the "role that network structure plays in determining or constraining system behavior, focusing on a few broad problem areas in social science such as information contagion, financial risk management, and organizational design.
"In the quiet corridors of academia, a new science has been emerging---one that speaks directly to the momentous events going on around it. For want of a better term, we call this new science the “science of networks.” And unlike the physics of subatomic particles or the large-scale structure of the universe, the science of networks is the science of the real world---the world of people, friendships, rumors, disease, fads, firms, and financial crises."
Reader-response suggests that the role of the reader is essential to the meaning of a text, for only in the reading experience does the literary work come alive. ... Thus, the purpose of a reading response is examining, explaining, and defending your personal reaction to a text.
John L. Casti (1943 - )
-is an author, mathematician, and entrepreneur
“The most exciting territory being mapped by artificial worlds is the exotic new frontier of "complex, adaptive systems.” These systems involve living “agents” that continuously change their behavior in ways that make prediction and measurement by the old rules of science impossible --- from environmental ecosystems to the system of a marketplace economy. Their exploration represents the horizon for discovery in the twenty-first century, and simulated worlds are charting the course.”
Non-Cooperation - failure or refusal to cooperate. A method or practice, as that established in India by Gandhi, of showing opposition to acts or policies of the government by refusing to participate in civic and political life or to obey governmental regulations.
Susan Sontag (1933-2004)
- has been a major figure in American intellectual life for over thirty years. Her provocative and exacting writings, engaging a wide range of aesthetic, cultural and political issues, have been the basis of a highly public and controversial intellectual career.

Multitude by Hardt and Negri
Negri describes the multitude in his The Savage Anomaly as an unmediated, revolutionary, immanent, and positive collective social subject which can found a "nonmystified" form of democracy. In his more recent writings with Michael Hardt, however, he does not so much offer a direct definition, but presents the concept through a series of mediations.
Anecdotal Theory by Jane Gallop
"Anecdote" and "theory" have diametrically opposed connotations: humorous versus serious, specific versus general, trivial versus overarching, short versus grand. Anecdotal Theorycuts through these oppositions to produce theory with a sense of humor, theorizing which honors the uncanny detail of lived experience. Challenging academic business as usual, renowned literary scholar Jane Gallop argues that all theory is bound up with stories and urges theorists to pay attention to the "trivial," quotidian narratives that theory all too often represses. Published during the 1990s, these essays are united through a common methodological engagement-writing that recounts a personal anecdote and then attempts to read that anecdote for the theoretical insights it affords. Gallop addresses many of the major questions of feminist theory, regularly revisiting not only ls"70s feminism, but also poststructuralism and the academy, for, as Gallop explains, the practice of anecdotal theory derives from psychoanalysis, deconstruction, and feminism. Whether addressing issues of pedagogy, the sexual position one occupies when on the academic job-market, bad-girl feminists, or the notion of sisterhood, these essays exemplify theory grappling with its own erotic, theory connected to the real. They are bold, illuminating, and-dare we say-fun.
Paulo Freire (1921-1997)
-was a Brazilian educator and philosopher who was a leading advocate of critical pedagogy. He is best known for his influential work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which is generally considered one of the foundational texts of the critical pedagogy movement
“Reading is not walking on the words; it's grasping the soul of them.”
Vilem Flusser (1920-1991)
-was a Czech-born philosopher, writer and journalist
-work was marked by discussion of the thought of Martin Heidegger, and by the influence of existentialism and phenomenology. Phenomenology would play a major role in the transition to the later phase of his work, in which he turned his attention to the philosophy of communication and of artistic production. He contributed to the dichotomy in history: the period of image worship, and period of text worship, with deviations consequently into idolatry and "textolatry".
“Human beings forget they created the images in order to orientate themselves in the world. Since they are no longer able to decode them, their lives become a function of their own images: Imagination has turned into hallucination.”
Cybernetics - is a transdisciplinary approach for exploring regulatory systems—their structures, constraints, and possibilities. Norbert Wiener defined cybernetics in 1948 as "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine." In other words, it is the scientific study of how humans, animals and machines control and communicate with each other.
Investigative journalism - is a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic of interest, such as serious crimes, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing.
Instrumentality - is a personality trait associated with the ability to be focused in a competitive way, objective and to make decisions easily.
Reflexive Methodology by Alvesson and Skoldberg
Reflexivity is an essential part of the research process. Mats Alvesson and Kaj Sköldberg make explicit the links between techniques used in empirical research and different research traditions, giving a theoretically informed approach to qualitative research. The authors provide balanced reviews and critiques of the major schools of grounded theory, ethnography, hermeneutics, critical theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism, discourse analysis, genealogy and feminism.
Vogue, or voguing - is a highly stylized, modern house dance originating in the late 1980s that evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene of the 1960s.
Action Learning - is a process that involves a small group working on real problems, taking action, and learning as individuals, as a team, and as an organization. It helps organizations develop creative, flexible and successful strategies to pressing problems.

Mats Alvesson and Kaj Sköldberg make explicit the links between techniques used in empirical research and different research traditions, giving a theoretically informed approach to qualitative research. The authors provide balanced reviews and critiques of the major schools of grounded theory, ethnography, hermeneutics, critical theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism, discourse analysis, genealogy and feminism.

Deep Thinking can transform your life. It can profoundly change the way you think, feel and behave. Thinking deeply enriches your life and encourages deeper living. To think deeply means to think beyond beliefs, preconceived ideas and prevailing opinions. It means to shed off false convictions so that the truth can unfold. The problem is that we no longer know how to think. Our thinking is unfocused, superficial and not directed. It simply occurs randomly, but we don’t give much thought to it. At the same time, we don’t use our thinking processes to think deeply. We no longer seek to think beyond our own boundaries. Most are perfectly happy within the comfortable confines of their own beliefs, attitudes and prejudices. If you’re not one of them, the following is for you. It will address the magnificent power of deep thinking and how thinking deeply can change your life. It will show you what you can do to think deeply and introduces you to some deep thoughts you can get started with.
Performative writing - is a methodology of communication research in which the form of the writing enacts the very academic argument the author seeks to propose—that is, the how of the research mirrors the what; the form communicates the thesis of the writing.
Abstract Expressionism - is the term applied to new forms of abstract art developed by American painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s and 1950s. It is often characterized by gestural brush-strokes or mark-making, and the impression of spontaneity
Paul Jackson Pollock (1912 – 1956)
-was an American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement.
-He was widely noticed for his technique of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface (‘drip technique’), enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was also called ‘action painting’, since he used the force of his whole body to paint, often in a frenetic dancing style

Peter Senge and the learning organization
Peter Senge’s vision of a learning organization as a group of people who are continually enhancing their capabilities to create what they want to create has been deeply influential.
According to Peter Senge learning organizations are organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.
Three Men in a Boat is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers – the jokes have been praised as fresh and witty.
John Maxwell Coetzee (1940- )
- is a South African–born novelist, essayist, linguist, translator and recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. He has also won the Booker Prize twice, the Jerusalem Prize, CNA Prize (thrice), the Prix Femina étranger, The Irish Times International Fiction Prize as well as other awards and honours, holds a number of honorary doctorates and is one of the most acclaimed and decorated authors in the English language.
