Slow Cognition: A Meta-canvas for Developing Tacit Knowledge
Thematic Space Canvas and Knowledge Discovery Canvas
As mentioned before, I want to adopt the historical-cognitive method to study creative work and creative life. In Jan 2022, I started the Slow Cognition project which is designed with the following ideas:
- Theory: Curativity Theory
- Sub-theory: Themes of Practice
- Framework: Knowledge Curation
- Method: Slow Cognition
- Instrument: Thematic Space Canvas
- Phenomenon: Developing Tacit Knowledge
See the diagram below. The essential parts of the project are Thematic Space Canvas and Developing Tacit Knowledge.
My idea is very simple. I focus on the long-term development of a theme. If we use Andy Blunden’s term, then the long-term development of a theme is the germ-cell of Slow Cognition.
A thematic space refers to a person’s ideas, activities, and practices around one particular theme. A theme can be an established theory such as “Activity Theory”; or a normal concept such as “Platform”, “Life”, etc; and an…
