reading corner Tabula Rasa (October 2024)
The research programme Tabula Rasa was organised to spark collective, critical thinking, to discuss best practices and to open up new perspectives for a healthy cultural sector. It’s an opening to the abundance of (shared) knowledge that can take shape in lived reality; in other words, a knowledge capable of transcending its mere theoretical existence. To accommodate this shift from text to practice, we present a guide to the (literary) tools found in our media library. One possible way to guide is to draw a map: in this case, a mind map. Consider this scheme according to your own interests and curiosities. The mind map did not precede the selection of books: it was created based on associations between the texts’ subjects.
