SOLO
One person investigates from their own impulse. The question may later involve others. It does not have to.
HOW WE
INVESTIGATE.
Group size, duration, manner of carrying out and degree of participation are independent dimensions. A format does not decide where and in which medium an investigation takes place.
DUO / DIALOGUE
Two positions examine the same question. The dialogue is the form, not yet the result.
GROUP INVESTIGATION
Several people share a question. The group is not an audience and not a workshop product.
LECTURE INVESTIGATION
An investigation is developed or spoken in front of others. The lecture is part of the investigating, not a finished proof.
RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP
A collaboration over a longer time. The frame can be agreed. The findings cannot.
OPEN PARTICIPATION
Others can enter without role, duration or degree of participation already being fixed.
HYBRID / DISTRIBUTED INVESTIGATION
The investigation is not bound to one place. Whether it happens physically, digitally or both is decided by the question. Those conditions are described under Situations.
Physical, digital and hybrid conditions of appearance remain on the Situations page.
