Organizing Thoughts and Connecting Brains: Material Practices and the Transition from Individual to Group-Level Prospective Sensemaking
基于对一家设计咨询公司的民族志研究,提出了一个过程模型,解释对话与物质实践如何相互作用,推动从个体到群体层面的意义建构,并揭示认知工作的“物质化”如何支持集体新共识的形成。
A growing body of research is drawing attention to the material practices that support verbal exchanges and cognitive processes in collective sensemaking. In this study, building on an ethnographic study of a design consulting firm, we develop a process model that accounts for the interplay between conversational and material practices in the transition from individual to group-level sensemaking, and we begin to unpack how the “materialization” of cognitive work supports the collective construction of new shared understandings.
