“…More radical embodied approaches can prove their merit in this new field in particular the more we switch from the explanation of phenomena at the individual level to those at the collective and social level. Just to make one instance, the study of rationality in institutional settings like markets seems to be addressable in new ways through radical embodied approaches (see Clark, 1997 ; Gallagher et al, 2019 ; Petracca and Gallagher, 2020 ).…”

Views of embodied cognition vary in degree of radicalism. The goal of this article is to explore how the range of moderate and radical views of embodied cognition can inform new approaches to rationality. In this exploration, Herbert Simon's bounded rationality is taken for its complete disembodiedness as a reference base against which to measure the increasing embodied content of new approaches to rationality. We use the label “embodied bounded rationality” to explore how moderate embodiment can reform Simon's bounded rationality while, on the opposite side of the embodied spectrum, the label “embodied rationality” is employed to explore how radical embodiment can more deeply transform the idea of what is rational. In between the two poles, the labels “body rationality” and “extended rationality” are introduced to explore how also intermediate embodiment can fruitfully inform the research on rationality.

“…Only recently, some initial attempts have been made to extend the application of enactivism to macro-social phenomena. Relevant examples are Maise and Hanna's enactive approach to political science and politics (2019), and a few attempts to take an enactive approach to institutions and economics (Petracca and Gallagher, 2020;Ransom and Gallagher, 2020). Our study follows the same line of thinking, which we believe has potential for the social sciences and educational science; we adopt EC as a theoretical lens through which to consider FFF and explore its attempts to bridge the gaps between mind and nature, the individual and the collective, and the personal and the social, from a normative, political, and ethical perspective.…”

“…In doing so, the first points to consider in terms of convergence of individual enactivism and macro-social phenomena are that even macro-social phenomena-such as FridaysForFuture and others-have identity and intentionality, intrinsic beliefs, norms, and thoughts, and demonstrate future-oriented, predictive behavior framed in a way that is meaningful for the network (Petracca and Gallagher, 2020;Ransom and Gallagher, 2020). Such networks are of necessity embodied by specific individuals, embedded in a given physical and social environment, and enacted in the real world through consciousness and intentionality.…”

FridaysForFuture as an Enactive Network: Collective Agency for the Transition Towards Sustainable Development

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, we provide a theoretical conceptual analysis of FridaysForFuture (FFF) and of its effort in promoting the governance of socioeconomic transition toward sustainable development. FFF is a social movement that has received outstanding public recognition and visibility across the world in the last 2 years and is of great interest to educational research because it is largely composed of youngsters and appears to play a paideutic role in societal innovation. There is a growing but still limited body of investigation of FFF’s structures, genealogy, and behavior. The same goes for its theoretical and ethical background and principles. Its efforts to promote social change by going beyond individual agency toward collective agency deserve greater attention from educational scientists. We argue that FFF is a complex, self-organizing, informal network, which we define as an enactive network for its ability to retrieve scientific knowledge and transform it into lived meaningful knowledge, and for its capacity to mobilize masses and influence public discourse under a specific ethical umbrella. We provide six macro categories to describe and explain FFF: 1) nested emergent network, 2) collective social agency and leadership, 3) political impact, 4) science-based learning and activism, 5) paideutic function, and 6) ethical (normative) stance. We stress the FFF capacity to recruit high-level scientific knowledge without direct support from schools, and embody strong ethical stances with specific references to the ethics of responsibility and care for the interaction between humanity and the natural world. Finally, we suggest that FFF can be interpreted as an enactive network with the ability to affect collective identity and empower collective agency by encouraging communities into a more scientific, evidence-based, and ethical public discourse.

В этой области следует опираться на дискурсивный, риторический, коммуникативный институционализмы, а также внимательно следить за постнортовской программой исследований когнитивных экономических институтов 9 (Petracca, Gallagher, 2020).…”

Post-institutionalism is a promising direction in the study of institutions, developing the methodological ideas of critical institutionalism to build an extended institutional approach (in G. Hodgson's terminology). The mission of post-institutionalism is the development of interdisciplinary, complexity-centered methodologies for the analysis of institutions, allowing the development of institutional research beyond the framework of both new and original institutional theories. The article briefly outlines the logic of the creation and origins of the post-institutional theory, provides its methodological features, philosophical foundations, and guidelines for the research program. Post-institutionalists proceed from the fact that the methodological tools of both the new institutional economics and the traditional (“old”) institutionalism are inadequate to the tasks of understanding and explaining the qualitatively complicated institutions of late capitalism. Such institutions are internally heterogeneous, highly fluid, combine different coordinating principles (logics), their functions and boundaries are difficult to identify. The focus of special attention in post-institutional economics is assemblages – institutional systems that combine heterogeneous institutions with irreducible logics. Institutional assemblages are highly adaptive but also functionally redundant and conflict-prone. Bricolage is considered as the main type of institutional change in post-institutionalism, which is understood as the recombinant creation of institutions by a multitude of actors from the elements available in the access to solve current institutional problems. Institutional change agents are not only institutional entrepreneurs, but also institutional “workers”, i. e. ordinary actors in their daily routine. The main function of institutions from the point of view of post-institutionalism is not the minimization of transaction costs, but the creation of transaction value.
