In this article, the author-researcher presents three intertwined texts: excerpts from an autobiographical novel, extracts from a reflexive journal written during the writing of that novel, as well as a theorized account and analysis of the overarching creative process. These texts talk to each other as a form of intertextuality in the similar way that the three generations of a Chinese Indonesian family depicted in the novel interact with one another and present differing perspectives and fresh insights. The issues of the writer’s inner voices and multiplicity of the self feature prominently in this work, the result of a deep and critical engagement with the author-researcher’s creative writing and reflective thinking processes. Together, these three interrelated texts capture and explore multiple perspectives interacting during the writing process while at the same time present how the self and sites of meaning-making can be constructed through writing.

John Thackara’s theory of change is borrowed from Ilya Prigogene: ‘when a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system’. As a writer, he explains, his work therefore involves a search for small islands of coherence – that he can later describe – in which social and ecological relationships thrive together. His aim as a curator is similar: he strives to enable embodied encounters with situations (or ‘islands’) in which we feel ourselves to be part of nature, rather than separate from it. This work is therefore not symbolic, like ‘systems thinking’. It is more field work than head work. ‘I want people to experience relational ecologies, not just think about them’, Thackara states. He cites the artist Eva Bakkeslett as describing this process – the cultivation of ecological and social connectivity – as social fermentation.
John Thackara的变化理论是从Ilya Prigogene那里借来的:“当一个系统远离平衡时,连贯的小岛屿有能力改变整个系统。”他解释说,作为一名作家,他的工作因此涉及寻找连贯的小岛——他可以稍后描述——在这些小岛上,社会和生态关系共同繁荣。作为一名策展人,他的目标是类似的:他努力让我们感受到自己是自然的一部分,而不是与自然分离的情景(或“岛屿”)。因此,这项工作不像“系统思考”那样具有象征意义。与其说是脑力劳动,不如说是野外劳动。“我希望人们体验关系生态学,而不仅仅是思考它们,”Thackara说。他引用了艺术家Eva Bakkeslett的话说,这个过程——生态和社会联系的培养——是社会发酵。

This article suggests a method for cultivating a collaborative method of shared visual note-taking on seminar readings and discussions, built on the method of creative ‘poaching’ of each other’s contributions, using pencil and simple tracing technique on transparent papers. The method was developed and tested in a decade of workshops with the author and varying groups of participants, students, researchers and professionals, in academic text-based discussions, lectures and seminars. The method, speculative and collaborative, aims to assemble the participants’ ideas and contributions in compossible ways, that is, possibilities that support each other to build more convivial forms of annotation and idea generation, and where contributions flow into each other and with no clear delineation of order or between authors/contributors. This method of collaborative poaching produced convincing results and could be used as an exercise in semi-structured discussions and their creative documentation, cultivating a multiplicity of perspectives on human values and also support what Martha Nussbaum calls a ‘narrative imagination’.
