Frames and Framing


Which were the frames? Who participated in what? On what conditions? These were critical questions raised during the symposium. There was a deliberate measure of surprise both in the introduction of and in the transition between the three “things”; The encounter with RosengĂ„rd and the “movement the voices and faces of the street”, the gathering around the Malmö festival live blogging, and the sewing circle stitching together. By introducing three quite different new media politics projects, each considered as a different form of “thinging” experiment, and by giving very few cues in the introduction of and in the transition between them, we anticipated that participants would get a unique experience, not only of the three projects but primarily of three different forms of participation in exploration of controversial things.

What was the actual experience of this? Should frames have been more explicit? Did you rather experience being framed, trapped to participate in a collective experiment you did not want to be part of? What are your general views on how to deal with frames and framings? We can’t get away from them. How should we deal with them?
