nice thoughts Dave and Uday, my *quick* take on the practice/discipline thang is that they're different and complimentary..
to me, practice is about the doing of something in the lived world.. it is an expansive activity that is necessary for a field to grow and mutate a discipline (for me) codifies that knowledge so that the learnings from practice can be applied more widely (in education for example). SO, yeah like you're saying Dave.. they're different.. ...and discipline tends to lag behind practice in the day to day stuff, but has the potential to effect foundational game-changing shifts, or lead practice. so what..? I am interested in talking about the finer points of the discipline/practice etc, but also think this is possibly not the most appropriate forum for that. I do think the unspoken issue in this, and other related UX, IxD, etc etc discussions is: "how does all this impact [my] daily working and intellectual life?" which is where I start thinking about IxDA and its capacity to mediate between emergent practices and convergent disciplinary thinking.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
