ABSTRACT
It is in the other’s ability to listen, hear, co-observe, co-reflect and co-respond (from their own embodied store of images, observations, experiences, analyses, reflections, conclusions, knowledges and experiments in past practice, and various powers of material action) that lies potentially the capacity to resource the coinquirer. It might be the contribution of a receptive ear, an unexpected idea from an unlikely source, a reframing, a different kind of response, example, pattern, evidence or experience, or a material contribution that helps the other grasp better the possibilities, nature, reality and new meaning of what they, the critical inquirer or inquiring group, are experiencing, and articulate an alternative plan and take a new action. Through understanding and other resourcing, a new way forward is forged within their own situation, puzzle, difficulties, dreams, desires or issues in relation to their context and those around them. The experience of ‘inside’ and the experience of ‘outside’ together create something new in a synergy that transforms or generates conditions for new life.
