Welcome to Peaceaware.com

Peaceaware is defined as insight into a ♥-of-Care, a non-linear storytelling that is shaping the future, the destining of creating peace, by insightful awareness into the Second Renaissance called 'Quantum Storytelling,' a communion of quantum physics with a peaceaware storytelling. The French have two word for future: 'futur' as 'prediction' of how the 'before' will recur in the future, and 'avenir' the shaping and creating of future (the bet). In 1st Renaissance art developed perspectivism and science fell in love with Newtonian mechanistic physics resulting in late modern capitalism. In 2nd Renaissance art goes quantum and science is falling in love with the observer effect, in a new ways of fore-conceiving materiality. When this new materiality encounters storyellling, the communion is 'Quantum Storytelling' not as a prediction-futur, but rather as a 'bet' of 'avenir'-ahead-of-itself, arriving to transform the past and present.

MENU OPTIONS:

1. Defining quantum storytelling inquiry methods:
   1. Read Quantum Storytelling BOOK -online and free to get to advanced material on antenarrative.
   2. What is antenarrative? A 'before' narrative coheres, and a 'bet' on transforming the future, as defined in the 2001 Book (Sage publishers). The 'before' way of antenarrative is about prediction, the past recurring in the future. The 'bet' or gambling way is how to shape and create different futures, and that is a very different sort of antenarrative. The 'before' antenarratives are 'linear-' and 'cyclical-antenarratives' of recurrence. The 'bet' ways are gambles on creating and shaping 'spiral-' and 'assemblage-antenarratives.'
   3. Order Storytelling and Future of Organizations: An Antenarrative Handbook - (2011, Routledge publishers)
2. Practical Applications:
   1. Participate in Quantum Storytelling BLOG
   2. See Quantum Storytelling Study Guides for Small Business applying the Savall, Zardet & Bonnet (2008) approach to socioecomomic interventions research for small and medium business enterprises.
3. Ways to Attend Quantum Storytelling Seminars and Conferences:

   2. Boje seminars on Quantum Storytelling in Lille France March 2012
   3. Attend Sc'MOI - Standing Conference for Management and Organization Inquiry - participate with those doing pioneering work in 'quantum storytelling,' 'materiality storytelling' and developing ways to address storytelling Being-in-the-world.
      1. Join the Facebook sc'MOI Discussion page
4. Quantum Blacksmith Art - my 'quantum storytelling' ideas come from my alchemy of doing blackmith art sculptures:
• Quantum Blacksmithing BLOGBlacksmithing is ancient alchemy processes of moving metal, and its is all the new processes of power hammers, plama and laser cutters, CAD/CAM design etc.
• Boje's Quantum Blacksmithing Artist artwork
5. ADVANCED MATERIAL:
   1. "The ♥-of-Care of the Life-Path of Organizations through Landscapes of Quantum Fields" What the 'bet' sort of antenarratives (spiral- & rhizomatic-assemblage-antenarratives) offer is encounters with enthics of care, ethics of answerability, in the whole life-path of once-occurrent Being as Bakhtin calls it, or the care for potentiality of Being-a-whole-Self as Heiddegger calls his ontological approach. Both are about a life-path rather than a mere epistemic (past narrative) or an ontic (objectificaiton of present). The 'bet' is on 'avenir' shaping and creating a field of potentialities, that also arrive ahead to shape past and present. This is a radical, non-linear approach to quantum storytelling.
   2. Ethnostatistics, Qualimetrics, and Ontological Storytelling -
      1. Ethnostatistics was invented by my friend and colleague, Robert Gephart Jr. As I interpret ethnostatistics, it is the ontic measuring and calculating mode of inquiry objectifies living stories, and splits off from both the epistemic and ontological modes of inquiry. There are three moments of ethnostatic inquiry: (1) numbers come from a subjectivity; (2) the mathematics of calculation gets mis-applied in social science quantitative methods; and (3) storytelling rhetorics of interpretation of numbers and the math-output tables stretches to an incredibility.
      2. Qualimetrics - invented by Henri Savall and Veronique Zardet (2005) - As I interpret it, qualimetrics unifies the split between qualitative (epistemic), quantiative (ontic), and the ontological (life-path prosesses in-Being) by taking an interdisciplinary approach.
      3. Tetranormalization - Also invented by my French colleagues.
         1. Savall 2010 book
