Final images for concertina book

July 11th 2018

I selected all the images I wanted to use, enough to make to make three books from which I will select the best for submission. I chose four different families of images, and used them all as they were captured in the barn, except for a series where there was a telegraph wire which I felt spoiled the composition so I edited that out of each of the images in photoshop. I learned alongside the technician how to make another template using indesign because for this version I want the images to be on a continuous strip of paper with no joins.

They will be ready to collect in 24 hours

Different streams of research, traversing the boundaries of scientific discipline, are converging on an understanding (and a methodology) based on a pragmatic theory of knowing that reframes traditional research into organizational learning. Practice is the figure of discourse that allows the processes of ‘knowing’ at work and in organizing to be articulated as historical processes, material and indeterminate. The point is not to go in search of a framework which comprises all these reflections in a single space, but rather to show how a practice-based theorizing arises from multiple perspectives and negotiations, and how in so doing it delegitimizes a univocal narrative of scientific authority. In discussing how symbolic interactionism, activity theory, actor-network theory, sociology of science and technology may work together within a practice-based theorizing, I wish to outline a programme of empirical research to study how knowing within the context of a workplace culture has a jointly constructed and learnt meaning; in the sense that people, symbols, machines and things produce understandings which are simultaneously structured and novel. To focus on analysis of knowing within a situated practice allows study of where knowledge is socially constructed and how it is socially constructed both as activity and passivity.
