Negotiating Definitions

Monday Meeting notes

Italian Limes, a project on changing borders, memories and coastlines http://www.italianlimes.net/

The power of the sovereign nation state as a concept is declining. The rhizome could be connected to the dissolution of nation states

The Book of Thot, related to the Tarot card deck

Could we create a sort of Dictionary or Lexicon? In which our different interests (or gardens) come together in transdisciplinarity.

We look at abstract functions: Nationstate, myth, memory, journey, but what could be overarching words (of our own)?
- Narrative, Texture, Fiction
- Ambience, Simultaneity, Fiction
We can follow different narratives within the 'main' narrative.

To accept each others' practices and skills, could mean to accept each others' narratives: to work together transdisciplinary.

We can reflect on what transdisciplinarity means or can mean through reflection, helped by our entry points (myth, borders, memories), and through our practices.

Finding out what transdisciplinarity means in our collecitve, but the term might end up meaning something else entirely: We can negotiate the definition(s)

Which definitions do we start off with?
- The Line
- Time
- Layers

Define these through practice and words (clarification)

--

What would these (new) rules/definitions/agreements means in a fantasy world or garden? Can we place them into a world through starting with world building?
- What will we look like in this world?
- How will the narrative of this world explain our journey thus far?
- What will the world look like in the future?

Animated illustrations? Together with music?
