>>Re: What is reflection?
>>
>>Taking a cue from Richard Schechner’s definition of performance as
>>twice- behaved behavior might help, ie reflection = twice-thought thinking.
>>
>>Increasingly, in my experience, students (especially undergraduates)
>>tend to submit first drafts/first prototypes/first readings (I teach
>>theater history, performance theory, visual culture, cultural
>>transmission) without engaging the complex processes of reflection and
>>revision (we tend to couple these two terms with good reason, I think).
>>If revision literally means seeing again or seeing anew (or possibly,
>>seeing askance or with different eyes), then reflection requires a
>>similar kind of engagement with ideas, concepts, theories, structures,
>>and frameworks. A second-, third-, or fourth- order thinking, if you
>>will, that suggests both self-consciousness and self-awareness (both
>essential qualities for any aesthetic practice).
>>
>>This, perhaps, is Shklovsky’s broadest argument in “Art as Technique”
>>(also Eisenstein’s in his use of juxtaposition and montage, and
>>Brecht’s in his attempts to reconceive and combine psychological motive
>>and physical action as ‘gestus’, representation as a ‘showing again’ or
>>‘historicizing’, and social behaviour as both recognizably familiar yet
>>fundamentally odd or alien (the infamous ‘verfremdungseffekt’).
>>
>>So any activity or prompt that compels a student to do this would
>>constitute ‘reflection’.
>>
>>The danger for students is they often don’t know where or how to start.
>>This can turn an exercise intended as a mind-opener into
>>self-indulgent, mental masturbation. One solution would require
>>students to reflect in pairs or small groups, ie to have other minds
>>and bodies ‘reflect’ back to a student his or her own ideas/frameworks
>>(it works best if these ‘reflections’ take concrete form). Another,
>>especially if they’re engaging bottom-up design solutions, would ask
>>them to relocate their ideas to a different physical context (location,
>>social milieu). A third would identify and then poke at their
>>foundational theoretical assumptions (this, of course, is harder),
>>thereby making them more conscious of their frames of thought or
>metaphors of equivalence.
>>
>>If you plan to be in India, but have not yet settled on a site, may I
>>suggest considering Bhopal and its environs. The residual effects of
>>the world’s most devastating industrial accident are everywhere
>>visible, especially in poorer communities. The design challenges are
>>huge, and touch on all aspects of lived experience there.
