" The paper will show that this requires a study of the modes of involvement of the participants/authors, as well as a dynamic process of participation, which supplements the skills of science with those of art. /// http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Languaging-Glossary Languaging within metadesigning - We will develop metadesign tools<http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Tools-Overview> that harness power of creating neologisms<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neologism>[image: (external link)]. - This includes revising the vernacular to describe critical, but hitherto unnamed phenomena. - As the individual mind cannot easily embrace many perspectives at once, our research will explore fashion creativity from multiple standpoints. - It will then integrate them and reframe them within neologisms created by teams of experts. - These will include researchers, and consultants from across the humanities. - They will include theorists, practitioners and managers of design. ------------------------------ Co-authorship - We believe that languaging is an important aspect of co-authorship<http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Co-authorship> . - You can download Wood & Nieuwenhuijze's (2006) article on sympoiesis<http://metadesigners.org/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=370> . - This article re-positions co-authorship as an aspect of teamwork, not just publication. - It suggests that sympoietic co-authorship satisfies the following conditions: - Synergistic - i.e. when writing transcends what co-authors previously achieved - Emergent - i.e. when outcomes are surprising to each co-author - Interoperable - i.e. when the language agreed is accessible to co-authors, and others - Transferable - i.e. when the text is applicable beyond its original purpose or context -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
