    Gilstrap, Donald L. 2008. Dialogic and the emergence of  criticality in complex group processes. Journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies, v.6 no.1 (Spring/Summer): pp.91-112
    Abstract
    This article suggests how Paulo Freire's ontology of subjective  reality  is  influenced through  nonlinear  and  non‐deterministic  perspectives  of  a  world  of  open  and  irreversible  rather  than  dynamically  conservative  systems. By  problematizing  the  relationship of critical theory to complexity theory, we are able to  generate  an epistemology  of  criticality that recursively  makes  meaning  out  of  our  descriptions  of  human  interaction.    This  epistemological  challenge leads us to interpretive analyses that  identify recursion as a catalyst for emergence in critical group  dynamics in education.  Equally, educators who are confronted  with far from equilibrium environments can utilize the concepts  of  connected  knowing,  thematic  investigation,  dialogic,  and  interdisciplinary  teams  to  reflect  critically  on  the  limiting  aspects of near equilibrium conditions, contrasting them with the  potentially transformative qualities of complex systems.
