This is what I want to read. I can find the reference but not the text. Not anywhere - not in any of my libraries, not on amazon not any of the many many searches.
Still - the reassuring point is that it at least seems to explore ideas that I know are relevant and recent and cover the kind of ground I am interesting in. It points perhaps to the depthlesness of my own argument - but for the aspect I want to explore this line is an introduction rather then the main point of the paper. I had rather though things had move on - but this does suggest that somewhere there are writers who want to talk and write about the same thing.
So - a day of frustration - but a day of legitimation and the knowing that there are others out there.
This is useful, Bottery (2003) his hierarchy of Trust - the use of metaphor interests me.
calculative trust - the logician
practice trust - the gardener
role trust - the professional
identificatory trust - the musician
There is no assumption that each encounter requires or aspires to the identificatory trust; this is not the case. It is rather that lack of trust where it is required is experienced as a violation. Once broken it is expensive and time consuming to repaired. The required reweaving never manages to return the fabric to new.
Of course I remember my tutors comment - Halpin - quoting some place, someone or other - trust is written into the grammar of our relationships.
