Chaos and critical theory / Boudourides, Moses A.

In: Einstein meets Magritte Conference, Brussels. - - 1995

In general, chaos theory is considered to refer to the economy betweenorder and chance, determinism and unpredictability, clarity and aporia.However, from an epistemological and a critical point of view, it mightbe interesting to assess the local and global perspectives rooted intothe interdisciplinary body of chaos theory. Such an assessment is meaningfulnot only in understanding the various claims about the validity of chaosin different scientific fields, but also in clarifying the cultural andpolitical context of chaos theory. The latter is what Hayles in the ChaosBound (1990) calls the "politics of chaos."

The Economy of Discourses: a third order cybernetics? / Kenny, Vincent -- Boxer, Philip

This paper introduces the idea of, and necessity for, a 'third-order cybernetics'. It does this through the critique and problematisation of the ontology of the observer as elaborated within a second-order cybernetics. The necessity for this third-order is directly generated from our work as strategy consultants and our needs to evolve an effective, coherent and ethical consultancy practice.

The integration of second order cybernetics, autopoiesis and biosemiotics / Brier, Soren

In: Cybernetics and Human Knowing. - Roč. 10, č. 1, s. 15-18.

In my view there are some very interesting commonalities between second order cybernetics, cognitive biology as based on autopoiesis and Sebeok’s Peircian semiotics. But there are also some interesting differences that lead me to the conclusion that they need each other.

External Factors Forcing Change on Education: How can they work for us? / Brown, George Jr.

In: National Foundation Conference on Science and Math education. - - 1994

I am very pleased with the opportunity to make some remarks at this second National Conference on Science and Mathematics Education Reform. Every participant here this morning is committed to change; each of you understands the need for systemic reform; and each of you has a genuine desire to help America and its children grow in intellectual achievement. I can only admi re your efforts and urge you to persevere with your difficult task. Despite my disadvantage in knowing a lot less about education than anyone in this room, I hope that I can offer some small contribution to your deliberations.

Maturana Across the Disciplines / Bunnell, Pille

In: Constructivist Foundation. - Roč. 6, č. 3,

Humberto Maturana has generated a coherent and extensive explicatory matrix that encompasses his research in neurophysiology, cognition, language, emotion, and love. Can we formulate a map of Maturana’s work in a manner that is consistent with the systemic matrix it represents and that serves as an aid for understanding Maturana’s philosophy without reifying its representation.

Prejudiced about prejudice / Cecchin, Gianfranco -- Soderlund, John

It has always been a habit, he says, "to do something and reflect". That is as much the case now as it was way back in the early 1970's, during the nascent days of the Milan school of family therapy. Cecchin's co-revolutionaries at the time were Boscolo, Prata and Selvini Palazzoli, all of whom had been pointed in a psychoanalytic direction by their teachers.

Constructs and trinities: kelly and varela on complementarity and knowledge / Chiari, Gabriele -- Nuzzo, M. Laura

In: The Seventh International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology, Memphis, TN, August 5th-9th. - - 1987

The paper is aimed at showing similarities and differences between the views of complementarity in relation to the creation and structure of cognitive systems held by George A. Kelly and Francisco J. Varela, both of them sharing a constructivist metatheory. Though operating in different times and in different fields (psychology and biology), their notions of construct and trinity, respectively, represent a similar departure from classical logic and dialectics, and lead to similar implications as to the problem of knowledge and the hierarchical structure of cognitive systems. Even if, because of their different views on the dependence/independence of reality from the observer's act of construing, Kelly's constructivism can be considered as trivial and Varela's constructivism as radical, the triviality of the former is questioned.

Constructivism as an `energiser for thinking'! / Chronaki, Anna

This paper aims to re-examine recent criticism on radical constructivism as an inadequate research framework for discussing learning and teaching. A number of questions are raised in an attempt to focus attention not on the theory itself but on what the theory may imply for the learner's rights. Finally it is suggested that even though the theory cannot provide clear cut answers to issues related to learning as a contextualised practice in a social and political setting, it still challenges research theorising and contributes to an educational discourse.

Getting personal on reflecting teams / Cole, Patricia M. -- Shatz, Karen -- Sapoznik, Marcia -- Demeritt, Lisa A.

In: Journal of Systemic Therapies. - Roč. 20, č. 2, s. 74-87. - 2001

Reflecting teams remain a creative way of bending the tradition of a therapy team hidden behind a one way mirror. Several therapists have adapted the original reflecting team concept to fit with a more narrative tradition, particularly that of encouraging reflecting team members to talk about their personal experiences. This concept will be illustrated through a case example with the therapist, team members, and supervisor sharing their different perspectives. The discussion concludes with specific guidelines to help ensure the effectiveness of reflecting team self disclosure.
