Tagmemics Print Friendly Version

Tagmemics: a system which requires the writer to assess a single object from a tripartite (three-part) perspective-- particulate, wave, and field. Particulate-- what are the particulars (characteristics) of your topic? Wave-- how have the particulars (characteristics) changed over time from the vantage point of the medium or media or your choice (e.g., religious beliefs, social norms, political beliefs, economics, etc.)? Field--how do the particulars (characteristics) relate to current beliefs and/or to other topics? In other words, how do the particulars (characteristics) of the topic fit into the specific environment/context/field in which they are being assessed and/or perceived? Note that in analysing relationships there exist those that are overt (readily apparent) and those that are covert (hidden or not so readily apparent).
