⇄ convergent vs. divergent thinking

• frame brought up by 🧑‍💼️ “Open World” Texts﹕ A Framework for Analyzing Recombinatory Writing Games (RWGs)

• iirc, stuff like:

  • correctly extracting historical context from a novel
  • vs.: "what would these characters would do if X"

This awareness of the text’s collaborative creation transforms “reading” from the traditional notion of convergent sense making or comprehension (Bos et al., 2015), into a search for surprising and divergent juxtapositions, an experience comparable to that of the original writers/readers.
