ABSTRACT

A research-based writing project seeking to be inclusive requires a central organising strategy to map the text with the experiences of the real across a range of voices. Each voice will express its agendas, give reasons and provide accounts of its understandings, interpretations, knowledge of what is right, obvious or what is suspicious, hidden from sight and what is unknowable. Thinking is organised around an attitude of questioning in order to identify something that may be found acceptable to provide grounds for 'knowledge', 'value', 'belief', 'behaviour' and action. An ethnography of how people weave the incompatible, the different, the 'heterogenous' into meaningful wholes provides an insight into the overdetermination of 'objects', of 'practices' of 'identities', of 'organisations' and all the composing elements of 'community', 'society' and 'People'. The dis-organisation of Power itself involves a quite different textual project, an un-writing that begins and ends with the freedom and equality of the powers of individuals.
