Patterns & Metaphors
Alienative participant involvement
Template:
Conference participation by those having an intensely negative orientation, a hostile polarity against the organizers. This may be partly due to an actual or perceived use of coercive power by the organizing group or sponsors.
[Advantages] Though dangerous, the force of the suppressed energy in an alienative group can be highly creative -and if nothing else, its presence demands that some response needs to be made.
[Disadvantages] Explosive, volatile, potentially destructive force, extremely difficult to control, channel or even to communicate with, except in the most crude and coercive way.
