This article focuses on the applied side of Possibility Studies and the methodologies that could be used to cultivate possibility thinking and empower participants to become agents within the field of the possible. It proposes Possibility Spaces as collaborative pop-up interventions in which theories, methods and practices from across disciplines co-evolve in order to engage with and to serve participants from a wide range of communities around the world. The article starts by outlining a conceptual framework for Possible Action (P-ACT), grounded in the relation between sense of the possible, personal agency and action, which is the theoretical basis for methodologies like PROMPT (Positioning / Repositioning / Original Repositioning / Making / Possibilities Transformed), discussed in great detail. Offered as an example of how to run Possibility Spaces, PROMPT is one among other action-research tools envisioned in the paper. A future of collaboration is ultimately argued for, one in which researchers and practitioners within Possibility Studies work together with local communities to develop more methodologies that foster transformative experiences of the possible – experiences grounded in the continuous interplay between enhanced sense of the possible, personal agency, and the enactment of new possibilities.
这篇文章侧重于 "可能性研究 "的应用方面,以及可用于培养可能性思维和使参与者成为 "可能 "领域的推动者的方法。文章提出,"可能性空间 "是一种合作性的弹出式干预措施,在这种干预措施中,各学科的理论、方法和实践共同发展,以便与来自世界各地广泛社区的参与者接触并为其提供服务。文章首先概述了 "可能行动"(P-ACT)的概念框架,其基础是 "可能感"、个人能动性和行动之间的关系,这也是详细讨论的 PROMPT(定位/重新定位/原始重新定位/创造/可能性转化)等方法论的理论基础。PROMPT 是如何运行 "可能性空间 "的一个范例,也是本文设想的其他行动研究工具之一。本文最终提出了合作的未来,即可能性研究的研究者和实践者与当地社区合作,开发更多的方法来促进可能性的变革性体验--这些体验建立在增强的可能性意识、个人能动性和新可能性的形成之间的持续互动基础之上。

Doing ethics, and the possible 践行伦理,以及可能
Pub Date : 2023-11-18 DOI: 10.1177/27538699231210907
Samantha Copeland
This paper begins with the paradox of teaching ethics, that we teach ethical theory in the form of general rules whereas the practice of ethics occurs in dynamic and uncertain contexts. I argue, utilizing literature that highlights the role of anticipation and relationships in ethical practice, that the goal of ethics is not consensus or agreement about what rule to follow, in a particular situation nor in general. That is, doing ethics is not about rule-making or decision-making; rather, this paper provides arguments from philosophical ethics as well as ethics education for understanding ethical practice as exploring the possible together. Drawing from these diverse perspectives, the paper contributes to discussions about the nature of ethics itself and how we should theorize about it. Finally, conclusions related to how an ethics of the possible could be taught and why it should be are offered.
本文从伦理学教学的悖论入手,即我们以一般规则的形式教授伦理学理论,而伦理学实践却发生在动态和不确定的环境中。我利用强调预期和关系在伦理实践中的作用的文献,论证了伦理的目标不是就在特定情况下或一般情况下应遵循什么规则达成共识或一致意见。也就是说,伦理实践不是制定规则或做出决策;相反,本文从哲学伦理和伦理教育的角度提出论点,将伦理实践理解为共同探索可能。从这些不同的视角出发,本文有助于讨论伦理学本身的性质以及我们应如何对其进行理论化。最后,本文就如何教授 "可能 "伦理学以及为什么要教授 "可能 "伦理学得出了结论。

Wisdom and the Other: Responsiveness in development between the egocentric and xenocentric style 智慧与他者:自我中心与异质中心风格发展中的回应
Pub Date : 2023-10-18 DOI: 10.1177/27538699231205016

This text networks contributions from three disciplines: phenomenological-philosophical perspectives on the Other, current discussions in wisdom research, and developmental models of social perspective-taking. The common theme is the concept of the “other,” which is ambivalent, because, on the one hand, it may produce othering that can be the entry point into vicious circles of xenophobia, hate, and annihilation, but the Other may be the source of responsiveness and wisdom, on the other hand. A deeper understanding of responsiveness in the self-other relation results from a reading of Waldenfels’ philosophy. This sharpens the perspective on wisdom emerging from the relation to the Other, for which the neologism “xenosophia” is suggested, which supports the view that wisdom as xenosophia and xenophobia are opposites. The implications of Waldenfels’ responsive phenomenology for wisdom research are exemplified for two key concepts, intellectual humility and perspective-taking. Finally, for a developmental perspective on responsiveness to the Other, a typological model is proposed with reference to models of social perspective-taking in the tradition of Piaget and Selman. The proposed typology includes four styles of responsiveness: the egocentric, conventional, negotiatory, and xenocentric style. Implications for research are discussed.
本文网络贡献来自三个学科:对他者的现象学哲学观点,智慧研究中的当前讨论,以及社会视角采取的发展模式。共同的主题是“他者”的概念,这是矛盾的,因为,一方面,它可能产生的他者可以进入仇外、仇恨和灭绝的恶性循环的切入点,但另一方面,他者可能是回应和智慧的来源。通过阅读瓦尔登费尔斯的哲学,我们可以更深入地理解自我与他人关系中的反应性。这使智慧从与他者的关系中产生的观点更加尖锐,为此提出了新词“xenosophhia”,这支持了智慧作为xenosophhia和仇外心理是对立的观点。瓦尔登费尔斯的反应现象学对智慧研究的影响体现在两个关键概念上,智力谦卑和换位思考。最后,在借鉴皮亚杰和塞尔曼传统的社会视角吸收模型的基础上,提出了一个类型模型,作为对他者反应的发展视角。提出的类型包括四种响应风格:自我中心、传统、协商和异质中心风格。讨论了研究的意义。

Enhancing and inhibiting: Framing of innovation in educational encounters 促进与抑制:教育遭遇中创新的框架
Pub Date : 2023-10-13 DOI: 10.1177/27538699231201014

In the present paper, I introduce the concept of the Zone of Inhibited Action (ZIA) for the knowledge production within universities. Different zones (Zone of Free Movement (elaborated within Lewinian field theory) extended by Zone of Promoted Action (ZPA) by Valsiner in conjunction with Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) known via the legacy of Lev Vygotsky are central to the present paper. The new concept (ZIA) is at the foreground. For that purpose, I draw upon an autoethnographic event—from the perspective of a student—showing how the ZFM, ZIA, ZPA relate to each other in an academic context. In this regard, I exemplify how negotiation between course instructor and student can help to define and sharpen the borders of the ZIA and ZPA which alters the relation of the life-space. Here, I underline that democratic back-and-forth negotiation makes the ZPA and ZIA dynamic meaning that different actions become promoted or inhibited. ZIA and ZPA only become illuminated in a democratic back-and-forth-process between student and course instructor which changes their relation to the ZFM showing that the borders of the ZFM become re-structured.
本文引入了大学内部知识生产的抑制作用区(ZIA)的概念。不同的区域(自由运动区域(在Lewinian场论中详细阐述)由Valsiner的促进行动区域(ZPA)扩展,以及通过Lev Vygotsky的遗产所知的最近发展区(ZPD)是本文的核心。新概念(ZIA)是前景。为此,我从一个学生的角度,利用一个民族志事件来展示ZFM, ZIA, ZPA在学术背景下是如何相互联系的。在这方面,我举例说明了课程教师和学生之间的协商如何帮助定义和锐化ZIA和ZPA的边界,从而改变了生活空间的关系。在这里,我强调民主的来回谈判使ZPA和ZIA具有动态性,这意味着不同的行动得到促进或抑制。ZIA和ZPA只有在学生和课程教师之间民主的来回过程中才会被照亮,这改变了他们与ZFM的关系,表明ZFM的边界被重新结构化。

Agential possibilities 代理人的可能性
Pub Date : 2023-09-27 DOI: 10.1177/27538699231200093
Christian List
We ordinarily think that we human beings have agency: we have control over our choices and make a difference to our environments. Yet it is not obvious how agency can fit into a physical world that is governed by exceptionless laws of nature. In particular, it is unclear how agency is possible if those laws are deterministic and the universe functions like a mechanical clockwork. In this short paper, I first explain the apparent conflict between agency and physical determinism (referring to recent work by Helen Steward), then review some salient responses one might give to this conflict, and finally sketch a response that rests on a distinction between “physical” and “agential possibilities.” Agency, I suggest, is a higher-level phenomenon, which comes with its own level-specific notion of possibility, and it cannot be adequately analyzed in physical terms alone or just through the lens of physical possibility.
我们通常认为我们人类有能动性:我们可以控制我们的选择,并对我们的环境产生影响。然而,机构如何能适应一个由毫无例外的自然法则支配的物理世界,这一点并不明显。尤其不清楚的是,如果这些定律是确定的,宇宙像机械发条一样运转,能动性是如何可能的。在这篇短文中,我首先解释了代理和物理决定论之间的明显冲突(参考Helen Steward最近的工作),然后回顾了人们可能对这种冲突做出的一些显著回应,最后概述了一种基于“物理”和“代理可能性”之间区别的回应。我认为,代理是一种更高层次的现象,它有自己的特定层次的可能性概念,不能单独从物理角度或仅仅通过物理可能性来充分分析它。

Enacting chance and the space of possibilities 创造机会和可能性的空间
Pub Date : 2023-09-01 DOI: 10.1177/27538699231191006

The phrase enacting chance denotes the generation of possibilities, that is, to make something possible. —Lambros Malafouris, this issue. Possibilities studies is concerned with understanding what it means to have a sense of the multiple and open-ended nature of our presents, futures, and pasts (Glăveanu, 2023)— what Baumeister calls the matrix of maybes (Baumeister & Alquist, 2023). From the perspective of chance and serendipity scholars, this uncertainty comes from the dynamic interaction of people and things that arise naturally from living in a world in flux and reflect the dynamic nature of environmental change (Rietveld, 2022). Indeed, one of the consequences of a world in flux is that chance arises all around us and is part of our everyday. Take a commute to work in a typical Western metropolis. Chance operates on a series of mundane levels from the socio-political scale of whether last-minute talks have been successful, and so the train driver’s union has called off their industrial action, to whether you crossed paths with the chatty neighbor who would delay you. Despite bestlaid plans, arrival times are not determined. Even on the micro-level, walking involves the negotiation of random variations in people flow around the walker and the pavement surface, so each placement of a foot requires the navigation of uncertainty. However, these forms of chance do not violate expectations—they are within an easily visualized space of possible occurrences and constitute predictable components of the matrix of possibilities. However, when we write about enacting chance in relation to possibilities, we are interested in how people use chance events to expand the existing possibility space in unpredictable and unanticipated ways. We are not interested in expected chance variations but in the sort of chance-inspired change which elicits unexpected effects. The nature of these effects may be on a personal or historical level (cf Boden, 2004) and may have effects on longer or shorter timescales (Ross, 2022). Still, they have in common that they open up the Possible in ways that cannot be currently envisaged (Hanchett Hanson, 2023). This is why the study of engagement with chance and the complex relationship between
“创造机会”这个短语指的是可能性的产生,也就是说,使某事成为可能。-Lambros Malafouris,这个问题。可能性研究关注的是理解对我们的现在、未来和过去的多重和开放式本质有一种感觉意味着什么(gluniveanu, 2023)——鲍迈斯特称之为“可能矩阵”(Baumeister & Alquist, 2023)。从偶然性和偶然性学者的角度来看,这种不确定性来自于生活在一个不断变化的世界中自然产生的人和事物的动态相互作用,反映了环境变化的动态性(Rietveld, 2022)。事实上,一个不断变化的世界的后果之一就是机遇无处不在,是我们日常生活的一部分。在一个典型的西方大都市上班。机遇在一系列平凡的层面上发挥作用,从社会政治层面(最后一刻的谈判是否成功,火车司机工会是否取消了他们的工业行动),到你是否遇到了一个喋喋不休的邻居,他会拖延你的时间。尽管有周密的计划,到达的时间还是不确定。即使在微观层面上,步行也涉及到对行人和路面周围人群随机变化的协商,所以每一次脚的放置都需要对不确定性进行导航。然而,这些形式的机会并不违背预期——它们在一个容易想象的可能发生的空间内,构成了可能性矩阵中可预测的组成部分。然而,当我们写与可能性相关的偶然性时,我们感兴趣的是人们如何利用偶然性事件以不可预测和意想不到的方式扩展现有的可能性空间。我们对预期的偶然变化不感兴趣,而是对引起意想不到的结果的那种偶然引起的变化感兴趣。这些影响的性质可能是在个人或历史层面上(cf Boden, 2004),也可能在更长或更短的时间尺度上产生影响(Ross, 2022)。尽管如此,它们的共同点是它们以目前无法设想的方式开辟了可能(Hanchett Hanson, 2023)。这就是为什么研究接触与机会之间的复杂关系

Constructive constraints: On the role of chance and complexity in artistic creativity 建构性约束:论偶然性与复杂性在艺术创作中的作用

Creativity is sometimes understood as the individual, mental creation of novelty which is then imposed as form onto a material substrate. On this view, constraints would feature only as obstacles in the creative process. In contrast, we support the view that creativity emerges from the interactions between human agents and the material, cultural, and social constraints that comprise a particular situation. In this account, constraints play a key enabling role, scaffolding the space of possibilities in which improvisation and chance give rise to novelty. In this paper, we review experimental work on interpersonal synergies between jazz pianists, which provides a scientific framework from which to approach the complex relationship between chance, constraints, and creativity. We also explore two case studies from the science of complexity and the creative arts in order to substantiate this notion of creative constraints: Anthony Braxton’s musical innovation at the intersection between composition and improvisation, and Marcel Duchamp’s radical interventions in the fields of sculpture and conceptual art.
创造力有时被理解为个人对新奇事物的精神创造,然后将其作为形式施加到物质基底上。从这个角度来看,限制只会成为创造过程中的障碍。相反,我们支持这样一种观点,即创造力来自于人类主体与构成特定情境的物质、文化和社会约束之间的相互作用。在这种情况下,约束发挥了关键的促成作用,为即兴创作和机会产生新颖性的可能性空间搭建了脚手架。在本文中,我们回顾了爵士钢琴家之间人际协同作用的实验工作,这为研究机会、约束和创造力之间的复杂关系提供了一个科学框架。我们还从复杂性科学和创造性艺术中探讨了两个案例研究,以证实这种创造性约束的概念:安东尼·布拉克斯顿在作曲和即兴创作之间的音乐创新,以及马塞尔·杜尚在雕塑和观念艺术领域的激进干预。

In contrast, we support the view that creativity emerges from the interactions between human agents and the material, cultural, and social constraints that comprise a particular situation. In this account, constraints play a key enabling role, scaffolding the space of possibilities in which improvisation and chance give rise to novelty. In this paper, we review experimental work on interpersonal synergies between jazz pianists, which provides a scientific framework from which to approach the complex relationship between chance, constraints, and creativity. We also explore two case studies from the science of complexity and the creative arts in order to substantiate this notion of creative constraints: Anthony Braxton’s musical innovation at the intersection between composition and improvisation, and Marcel Duchamp’s radical interventions in the fields of sculpture and conceptual art.","PeriodicalId":147349,"journal":{"name":"Possibility Studies & Society","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132226095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many approaches to understanding how creativity is manifested, from the influence of the context or environment to understanding differences in processes or domains. However, less work has focused on a creator’s instinctual reaction to external stimuli and how it shapes the creative activities that follow. This paper proposes the CAUSE Model of Creativity Languages: Connect, Apply, Understand, Share, and Express. The authors consider how an individual’s varying levels across these five Creativity Languages (innate, proficient, independent, basic, or dormant) may influence creative behavior, choice of domains to pursue, and potential eventual success. The model is also discussed in terms of potential measurement as well as how it could intersect with the Four C’s Model of creativity, including how Pro-c creators would benefit from understanding all five Creativity Languages.
有很多方法可以理解创造力是如何表现出来的,从背景或环境的影响到理解过程或领域的差异。然而,很少有研究关注创造者对外部刺激的本能反应,以及它如何影响随后的创造性活动。本文提出了创造性语言的CAUSE模型:连接、应用、理解、分享、表达。作者考虑了个人在这五种创造力语言(天生的、熟练的、独立的、基本的或休眠的)中的不同水平如何影响创造性行为、追求领域的选择和潜在的最终成功。该模型还讨论了潜在的测量方法,以及它如何与4c的创造力模型相交,包括Pro-c创造者如何从理解所有五种创造力语言中受益。
