THE SELF AND THE STRUCTURE

The self and the structure is a course towards developing practice of thinking, processing and

organising fragments, objects, material, data and the other. In the process of structuring one collects,

creates, makes, arranges, constructs and deconstructs. Structures of thinking will allow one to

appropriate and generate systems and processes for ourselves and others, to realign forces for better

management. The word structure here locates itself to a constant, a constant framework which

embodies agility. Any organised thinking embodies flexibility to attune to the dynamic forces. A

thinking and organisation process is made of several coordinates and forces which act together to

make something work. These coordinates - people, agencies, material such as objects, data and their

interpersonal connections are at play and need structuring. The process thus emerges synchronising

the interpersonal relationships of actors and objects together, projecting the forces and their

impacts, absorbing the conflicts, and accommodating the change. This course is premised on an

argument that conscious thinking may not only aid one to structure thoughts but allow one to

construct valuable reflections to accommodate change and develop agile frameworks. The course

will engage with structured questions as it sets out methods to sort things, to align, to schedule, to

strategize and to plan things to set them in rhythm. This begins with the act of possessing, collecting,

and also many a times creating and making.
