enthy alias's List: Complexity Theory

• ramework through which to engage with themes of culture and hybridity
• how complexity can develop concepts in humanities, allowing for a greater exploration and sense of adventure of what is and can be
• xploration of what can be produced and is emerging rather than the (continued) search for the ‘real’ or an uncovering of bedrock ‘truth’ in social science
• disjuncture between cause and effect and the concept of emergence
• emergence can be described as the process of self-organisation of things (human and non-human) to create a new entity

  • Good definition of emergence - though requires clarification on self-organization
• emerged through an assemblage of processes of migration, issues of cultural heritage, ideas of authentic tradition, resistance, social inequity, difference and (possibly) a shopkeepers desire for a nice wall
• emerged due to a unique coming together of elements, an assemblage, in a particular time and geographical location
