Ria,

 

Thanks for the additional insights.  This will definitely help me explore the topic even further.  Much appreciated!  :)

Hello Lisa, I'm not a scholar, but I think you are right about David Bohm being quite central regarding dialogue.

As I see you make the distinctions between dialogue, debate and discussion - do you know the work of Otto Scharmer, and his four fields of listening and conversation. Might fit in nicely I guess.

Thanks for responding Juanita.  :)  Very helpful!  I'm a proud owner of your book and have leveraged the works cited for my thesis...this will, in no doubt, be used as I compile a comprehensive list of sources for each form.

Hi Lisa...

Do you know how to add things to Wikipedia?  On our website www.theworldcafe.com is my whole bibliography on conversation from our book The World Cafe: Shaping our Futures through Conversations that Matter.  Hope that can be helpful.  If you can't find it for some reason, let me know and I can send you the biblio separately by e-mail.

Warmly,

Juanita

I recently conducted research at a Fortune 50 company on how the three primary forms of conversation (dialogue, discussion, and debate) occur in the workplace.  After viewing the recent updates/improvements to "conversation" on wikipedia, which includes a section on "Literature on Conversation" I couldn't help but inquire on who would be cited as the most credible authorities/literature on each specific form of conversation?  I thought it'd be worth throwing out to this group, so I could compile and share back out to not only this list, but to wikipedia as well. 

For example, wikipedia currently lists David Bohm as a "see also" or related topic, but through my research I've found he is an extremely credible and noteworthy theorist for dialogue as a form of conversation, with almost all other dialogue resources citing his work. 

In other words, who do you see as truly credible in effective dialogue, discussion, and debate?

Looking forward to building on the collective insights of this group and sharing back what we discover together!  :)

My research is a qualitative study exploring the following questions a) how do dialogue, discussion, and debate manifest in a corporate setting? b) what conditions are needed for dialogue, discussion, and debate to be at their best in a corporate setting? I'm interviewing high potential leaders on the conversations they typically have.

Juanjo! Muchas gracias for sharing your research project! As you build your network through the World Cafe, be sure to connect back with this group what you're learning through your other groups. Very exciting work!

I wonder if relationships can be build with the Art of Hosting folks in these countries too? They just started a Spanisch group on the AoH Ning site - a sister of this one. http://artofhosting.ning.com/group/spanishlanguagegroup

Juanita, you may want to become a member of that group too I think. Contact Rowan, who started that group, if you want to know more...

Of course Juanita, ahora mismo

Hola Juanjo....
Que gusto conocerte! We're hosting a World Cafe stewards gathering in Brazil in January-- and have a doctoral student from Brazil starting in March of 2011. I believe that the Cafe Latino Group would have a lot of intresest in your work, including Carlos Mota of Mexico.

Could you post this message (in Spanish,if possible)) also to the Cafe Latino, Palomilla Mexicana and Un Buen Cafe Colombiano groups----as I think you'll also get interesting responses from the members there.

AND, I love your project--and would be happy to make links for you with our Cafe colleagues in some of the countries you mention.

Con un abrazo,
Juanita
