Reflexivity :: researching :: acting

Drawing connecting Lury on second order knowledge (pp. 65-67, 2021) and
my Argument 1: Decidim forms part of a live ecosystem of interconnected collective intelligences

Lury’s writing on second-order knowledge draws together and frames some qualities which I’ve been working with for some time: reflexivity, situated knowledge, recursion. It also helped something click for me. I’ve been very aware of these qualities in two key areas: my positionality and practice; as well as the agency and practice of people in Decidim (“in the field”). However, I had not put those two dynamics in relation to eachother or underlined their common qualities.
