Leveraging intellectual capital has become imperative to facilitate individuals’ innovativeness. However, little is known about the process of knowledge nurturing reflexivity where newborn ideas and newfound knowledge, which may be incomplete or ineffective in their infancy, are further developed instead of being criticized or discarded. Without proper nurturing, they may be abandoned premature...

A problem with the popular desire to legitimate one’s research through the inclusion of reflexivity is its increasingly uncritical adoption and practice, with most researchers failing to define their understandings, specific positions, and approaches. Considering the relative recentness with which reflexivity has been explicitly described in the context of grounded theory, guidance for incorpor...

We define a property of intelligent systems, which we call Reflexivity. In human beings it is one aspect of consciousness, and an element of deliberation. We propose a conjecture, that this property is conditioned by a topological property of the processes which implement this reflexivity. These processes may be symbolic, or non symbolic e.g. connexionnist. An architecture which implements refl...

Many logicians now think that in order to give a uniform solution to the paradoxes of self-reference one must revise logic by dropping one of the usual structural rules. To date almost all such approaches have focused on dropping structural transitivity or structural contraction, and have largely overlooked or ignored the prospects for resolving the paradoxes by dropping structural reflexivity....

This paper will address why and how a reflexive and situated methodology could be employed to study cultural functions of play. Starting from the supposition that playing is pivotal to all game-research, I will follow Aarseth’s claim that any (cultural) approach of games asks for an inclusion of the position of the player/researcher in its methodology [1]. Being particularly interested in games...

Summary To explore an example of a reflexive intervention with health professionals working in tobacco control (TC). This study reports the perceived intervention effects regarding: (i) participants' understanding of reflexivity and personal learning and (ii) conditions needed in order to integrate reflexivity into professional and organizational practices. This is a qualitative study using an ...

In its traditional formulation as an explanatory principle, reflexivity means that any object of thought contains in itself the thinking activity that generates it. Applying the concept of reflexivity to the question of financial markets valuation, Soros concludes that economic reality is actively shaped by the perceptions of market participants. This leads him to a theory of investment radical...

Bourdieu’s emphasis on the socialised subjectivity of habitus is increasingly used in discussions of ‘identity’ to indicate the limits to reflexivity, situating ‘identity’ in tacit practice. In emphasising the dispositional nature of ‘identity’, analysts also acknowledge more explicitly reflexive and selfconsciously mobilised aspects, however Bourdieu’s restrictive treatment of reflexivity make...
