Media Files === Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) === <blockquote>Causal layered analysis is offered as a new futures research method. Its utility is not in predicting the future but in creating transformative spaces for the creation of alternative futures. Causal layered analysis consists of four levels: the litany, social causes, discourse/worldview and myth/metaphor. The challenge is to conduct research that moves up and down these layers of analysis and thus is inclusive of different ways of knowing. –Sohail Inayatullah in CLA: poststructuralism as method and the CLA Reader </blockquote> <html><a href="https://38.media.tumblr.com/7aca57b3f430dad3779e1a054584edd0/tumblr_inline_mzybcuGj911qc578m.jpg"><img src="https://38.media.tumblr.com/7aca57b3f430dad3779e1a054584edd0/tumblr_inline_mzybcuGj911qc578m.jpg"></a></html> === Process === Simplified: * define the issue (or question) * discuss each layer separately (litany, systemic, worldview, myth/metaphor) * cluster into themes * after reaching the bottom layer, pick a different myth/narrative and create a scenario by moving up the other layers, up to the new events and behaviours in 'litany' ==== References ==== * [[http://scenariosforsustainability.org/recipes/cla.html|Scenarios for sustainability]] * [[http://proutglobal.info/slideshows/training/Related%20web%20pages/002-Casual_Layered_Analysis.pdf|Causal Layered Analysis: Poststructuralism as a method]] * [[http://metafuture.org/cla%20papers/Inayatullah%20%20Causal%20layered%20analysis%20-%20theory,%20historical%20context,%20and%20case%20studies.%20Intro%20chapter%20from%20The%20CLA%20Reader..pdf|CLA Reader]] Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
