Accretive Meaning Cartography (about Hormones)
.
Accretion is a vital art/research method, particularly accretion of concepts.
During the school of commons kick-off and initial Kitchen Session I already gathered responses to the key question of my project: How Do We Know What We Know About Hormones? (Figure 1)
Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of ways of knowing:
- Accident
- Advice
- Carelessness
- Curiousity
- Difference
- Disturbance
- Experiment
- Insistence
- Lies
- Mythology
- Normativity
- Panic
- Research
- Shame
There were also write-in responses, and combining these along with a few recent conversations, and Figure 2 is the first pass for the conceptual cartography of this question.
Over the course of the project, I will continue to update this diagram, creating a cumulative landscape that captures the themes and relationships that arise.
