The PAGANINI project includes a range of different case studies that are worked upon by different teams. One way to make things working despite all these differences is to share a common language. This is our ‘PAGANINI vocabulary’, that is the set of concepts, that we all draw upon when we make sense of our case studies and workpackages. It has been elaborated by our team in Amsterdam.
DISCOURSES
are analytic constructions of a researcher referring to ensembles of ideas, concepts and categorisations through which meaning is allocated to social and physical phenomena, which become manifest in words, acts and objects (and their settings), and which are produced and reproduced in an identifiable set of practices (cf. Hajer 1995).
