Prelude : What moves as a body returns as a movement of thought
Something in the world forces us to think. This something is not an object of recognition, but a fundamental encounter.

AN
ANTHROPOLOGY
OF
LANDSCAPE
Christoper Tilley, Kate Cameron-Daum
Materiality
From our perspective in this book representations of landscape, textual or pictorial, are of secondary significance and we should treat them as such; they are selective and partial, and often highly ideological, ways of seeing and knowing.
It forms a material medium in which we dwell and move and think.
Redirecting the study of landscape from representation to the materially grounded messiness of everyday life and the minutiae of material practices that constitute it.
Landscapes are contested, untidy and messy, tensioned, always in the making. Our landscapes of modernity are frequently on the move and peopled by diasporas and migrants of identity, people making homes in new places.
Field Observations
Spatial relations within the landscape are complex.
The manner in which persons and their bodies cannot be understood apart from the landscapes of which they are a part, reciprocally involved in forms of movement, action, awareness and social memory.

The Role of Transactive Memory
Terri Griffith, Margaret A. Neale
Acquisition/Sharing of Implicit and Explicit Information
Organisations increasingly rely on teams to do much of the work traditionally accomplished by individuals.
Successful groups are those who are able to create synergies in the form of information aggregation and innovation that is beyond the ability of any single member.
Nascent Knowledge
Information Diversity
Task Conflict
The knowledge and perspectives of group members from the same social networks may be more redundant than diversified. However a total diversity among work group members is not desirable; some 'redundancy' (agreement in perspective) among group members is necessary to ensure enough common ground to facilitate successful group interaction.
Transactive Memory : Knowing and Accessing What We Know
For teams to have synergy they must be able to access their information, it is important to know who does what.

Transactive Memory : A Contemporary Analysis of the Group Mind
Daniel M. Wegner
The study of transactive memory is concerned with the prediction of group (and individual) behaviour through an understanding of the manner in which groups process and structure information.
Individual Memory
Information is entered into memory at the encoding stage, it resides in memory during a storage stage, and is bought back during the retrieval stage.

THE LABAN SOURCEBOOK
Dick McCaw
Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) was a pioneer in dance and movement, who found a extraordinary range of application for his ideas; from industry to drama, education to therapy. Laban believed that you can understand about human beings by observing how they move, and devised two complimentary methods of notating the shape and quality of movements.

Inner and Outer Tension : Inner and Outer Form
CHOREUTICS : Principles of Dynamic Space and Movement
Choreutics presents the grammar and syntax of spatial form in movement and the nature of movement's harmonic content.
