Embodied Enactivity in Safety

September 21, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

  Day 3 of our SPoR workshops in Canberra saw a shift to a focus on embodiment and the way that the safety industry has a dis-embodied view of persons. This focus has a bias on brain-centrism and the idea that the brain is a computer that directs decisions. This is NOT the case. When we … [Read more...] about Embodied Enactivity in Safety

The Meaning of Myth in Risk

September 20, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

  Yesterday was our second day on exploring mythology, risk and safety. As we got to know what myth was more as a genre we were more sensitised to how myth works both in society but more importantly to be more sensitised to how myth is employed in safety. This was amplified by a semiotic … [Read more...] about The Meaning of Myth in Risk

What Do You Mean By Performance?

September 17, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When we hear the word ‘performance’ what do we think of? Well, it depends. Language is contextual not propositional. If you want to know about language you need to know the context in order to understand how it is being used. For example, when we use the word ‘performance’ in the Arts, … [Read more...] about What Do You Mean By Performance?

Auditing the 7 Golden Rules of Zero, A Miserable Fail

August 24, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the positive skills of learning SPoR is understanding the core elements of diagnostics, auditing culture and deconstructing meaning (semiosis) in organising. We do this with the unique MiProfile survey but also with other models of auditing. One such diagnostic is the ‘iCue Language … [Read more...] about Auditing the 7 Golden Rules of Zero, A Miserable Fail

Why Would You Want to be a Safety “Geek’ or Hero?

August 6, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I find this fixation on identity AS Safety so amusing (https://safetyrisk.net/the-mental-illness-of-identifying-as-safety/). When I meet people in real professions, they never introduce themselves as Teacher Tom or Doctor Debbie or Lawyer Lousie. Similarly, real professionals never identify with … [Read more...] about Why Would You Want to be a Safety “Geek’ or Hero?

Day 11 SPoR in Europe

July 18, 2023 by Matt Thorne 2 Comments

Day 11 was a semiotic field experience at Mauthausen Concentration camp, (1938-1945) north of Linz.
