Finding my woof by tweaking the warp : a personal account of an attempt to better understand learning in a Communication Design course

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In this dissertation I set out to research my Design teaching practice from the perspective of enactivism, a term coined by two Chilean theoretical biologists, Humberto Maturana and the late Francisco Varela. Enactivism as a discourse, has its origins in philosophical hermeneutics and means that through our living in the world we are in fact creating our world, where inner and outer specify one another through embodied action.
