Document Summary
It is not clear how to bridge the two cultures, except to say that one has to act like the other. Besides, the cultures are still kept distinct no blends appear. Find the locations in discourses where the difference occur and make the frames that explain the differences explicit (227). Dialogue: a stream of meaning flowing among and through us and between us. This will make possible a flow of meaning in the whole group out of which may merge some new understanding (on dialogue p. 6) When we have discussion we will take away parts from the purposes of an analysis. Discussion as one in which different or competing points you brought into play and your view is competing to win. The norm: we tend to do this automatically. Holding dialogue is challenging to everyone brings assumptions that they feel need to be defended often emotionally. Discussion breaks up meaning for the purposes of analysis.
