Primes

• Collective Systemic Learning

  • This sourceTheory of frames as the organizing structures through which actors interpret experience.

• Formal vs. Informal Structures

  • This sourceDevelops the theory of frames as the schemata through which people organize and interpret experience. (Originally issued by Harper & Row, 1974; the Harvard University Press attribution corresponds to the standard scholarly edition.)

• Frame Change
  • Frame change substitutes the organizing system that assigns coordinates, categories, functions, or meanings to a referent while the referent itself is held substantially fixed, and every downstream reading is recomputed under the new assignment.

    This sourceTreats frames as schemata of interpretation that assign meaning to a strip of activity, with keying as the systematic re-reading of the same material under a substituted schema.

• Narrative
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Sensemaking
  • The labeling and frame-application act that imports prior meaning into the current situation

    This sourceFoundational analysis of frames as the interpretive schemata that organize experience; reveals the contingency of interpretation and the possibility of alternative framings of identical situations.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 5 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
