Matt Thorne Understanding Culture Differently
SafetyRisk
December 16, 2023
Any approach that seeks an understanding of culture requires a sophisticated sense of ‘knowing’ because, culture in itself cannot be defined or controlled like some would like. Indeed, in seeking to define (and control) Culture one already reduces it by a method of reductionism. That is, culture cannot be defined propositionally. Neither can culture be dissected through science. You can’t know Culture by going to a dictionary to find meaning. Such an approach just gives a dictionary definition but loses all the nuances of meaning gained through engagement, living, being, context, Socialitie and experience.

SPoR and Semiotics, Methods to Tackle Risk
Scotoma Press
November 17, 2023
SPoR and Semiotics is a book primarily for people interested and studied in the methodology of SPoR. Without an education in SPoR, many of the methods in the book won’t make sense. Similarly, if one can’t think semiotically, the rationale of the book won’t make much sense either.
