participatory collaborative research practice
TRANSCRIPT
I choose the term "conviviality" to designate the opposite of industrial productivity. I intend it to
mean autonomous and creative intercourse among persons, and the intercourse of persons
with their environment; and this in contrast with the conditioned response of persons to the
demands made upon them by others, and by a man-made environment. I consider conviviality to
be individual freedom realized in personal interdependence and, as such, an intrinsic ethical
value.
