What is Research For?
Synchronising/Diachronising
- New table: attempt to generate more appropriate terms
- Kress: use of the term 'affordances' is essentialising, in contrast with the origin of the expression in perceptual psychology
- James Gibson: relationship between oranism and specific environments
- Donald Norman: regarding the design of artefacts in relation to perception
- Both time and space 'offer' scope for both diachronising and synchronising
- precisely which 'affordances' are activated is an empirical and NOT an analytic question
- There can be no authoring or audiencing without a synchronising apparatus, generally, memory
- time/space separation is often not helpful
