Christine, it may explain your line of thought.
If that is how you see it, then it appears to be quite different from my
view of reflexivity.
And so I need to be careful to recognise that when you speak of reflexivity
you are not speaking of my kind of reflexivity.
And, yes, this takes us into the discussion of language, and meaning making
and communication, which if I remember correctly has arisen in this forum
previously. <grin>
I will wait and see now, whether anyone else wants to discuss reflexivity
and its role in generic and reflective practice for many (/all?)
disciplines.
