Slippery rigor

Abstract

Purpose

When the editors of this publication asked me to do a little editing for them, they also asked me to write a short piece for you about how my father's work has affected my work as a filmmaker.

Design/methodology/approach

A short and informal note form Nora Bateson.

Findings

In the end it turns out, from my perspective at least, that the most important thing he said was nothing he said, (though a lot of it is inherently fascinating and hugely useful). What is truly important is how he approached EVERYTHING.

Originality/value

A personal look into how Gregory Bateson's ideas and his lifestyle worked together.
