Theories and Frameworks - Sunday Discussion group focus

 Tomorrow Sunday March 5, 1900 

we have our next Sunday Discussion Group of this term. 


The zoom room for this meeting (same link as all sessions) will be open for you to enter 20mins before the start time of the session, please do take this time to arrive, check your connection, connect with each other informally, get tea/coffee and generally settle into your space.


As noted on your schedules, the focus of the discussion is 'Theories and Frameworks' 

As always, with these Sunday sessions, this is a space for you to learn in dialogue with others, to share ideas, thinking, processing, without the need to have definitively formed answers. 

In preparation for this conversation, please do give some thought to how you are experiencing theories and frameworks in your practice and study at this moment. 


Some questions to guide your pre-session thinking:


What established frameworks in arts based research as you becoming aware of?

What frameworks are emerging through your practice?

What are some of the theories you are engaging with in developing deeper understanding of your practice through research?

How do theories and frameworks work in a transactional relationship of developing  knowledge?


Please do add further thoughts and questions for consideration in the comments below.

  1. Hello Discussion Group!
    I am researching and finding the theoretical and philosophical background for somatic work and my method PME:
    what I found so far:
    + Martin Buber on Dialogue (for the somatic dialogue)
    +Viktor Frankls use of the sokratic dialogue
    + philosophical anthropology as a theoretical framewor for somatic work (especially Helmut Plessner) (more to research especially Emanuel Kant)
    + english literature on idiolectics
    + radical constructivism as an theoretical explanation why I designed my method very individually and dependend from time and space. And also as a methodology for research.
    + Maxine Sheets-Johnstone work is, from the little that I was reading till now full of biases, hierarchical thinking (something being the primacy), in contradiction to my understanding of biology and physiology and not logical in argumentation. But I can sense her strong love for movement behind all of that, which I resonate with, but I think that is why she has theoretical biases.
    + "Somatik" as a theory and practice goes back to the 19th century in Germany. western philosophy about somatics did not start with Thomas Hannah
    + the anarchistic theories and practices in PME: Improvisation
