ABSTRACT

Not all research projects, whether designed to resolve problems or follow explorations based on curiosity, are radical. However, all research is potentially radical as soon as the question of data is deprived of its givenness. Descartes’ act of doubting provided a paradigmatic moment that made it possible to question the givenness of things, of knowledge, of faith, of beliefs, of tradition. And the question of the certainty of what he found – the certainty of the cogito – that too has become unhinged, but only due to the restless impulse of radical questioning, through which the structures and practices of the ‘normal’, the ‘taken for granted’ are provoked. Since the ‘normal’ – whatever is counted as normal by a given individual, group, community, social structure and so on – is what is made manifest, or ‘called forth’ – in any provocation (Latin: pro meaning forth; vocare meaning to call), then the provocative act becomes a guide for designing the radical game.
