Reframing Perspectives: A Systems Mapping Exploration
摘要
Reframing Perspectives is an explorative system mapping exercise based on the praxeomorphic way as identified by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman (2012). According to Bauman, the praxeomorphic way is the way in which people understand the world around them, where a person’s worldview is informed by the know-how of the day, what people can do, and how they do it. From an etymological perspective, praxeo/praxis relates to practice, habit, or custom, leading to an actionable outcome (action). Morphic relates to shape or form, pertaining to structure. Praxeomorphic then refers to the structure(s) that shape our actions or practices. These practices can be formed and informed by how we understand the world around us.
