Nora Bateson
Nora Bateson (born April 13, 1968) is an American-born research designer, independent film-maker,[1][2] writer, and lecturer. She is the daughter of Gregory Bateson, sister of Mary Catherine Bateson and granddaughter of William Bateson and is president of the International Bateson Institute (IBI). The IBI is a research group specializing in the development of a methodology for transcontextual research of living systems. Bateson is best known for her film An Ecology of Mind, which accessibly explicates much of Gregory Bateson's theoretical work while also providing insight into Nora Bateson's own relationship with her father. Bateson's first published work takes the form of a Thai cookbook and cultural exploration titled 4 Paws of Crab, which provides recipes for Thai cooking alongside historical information pertaining to Thai culture as compared to the culture of the United States.[3]
Bateson's theoretical style is chiefly characterized by the conflation of complex systems theory and analysis with an aesthetic component, and the exploration of diverse and disparate topics such as education, communication, and cybernetics.[4][5][6] This aspect of Bateson's work is exemplified in An Ecology of Mind, which successfully merges an illustration of Bateson's personal story with an explanation of her father's theoretical publications.
In addition to the production of her film, Bateson's book Small Arcs of Larger Circles was published in 2016 by Triarchy Press. The work combines essays, conference talks, poetry, stories and autobiography to explore subjects ranging from linguistics, biology, education, nationalism, justice, paradox, complexity, to developments in systems thinking, economics, and prejudice. In the book, Bateson introduces new language including "symmathesy" and "transcontextuality" to develop and support her advocacy of multiple, layered perspectives in viewing and discussing any subject.[7] Bateson defines symmathesy as "An entity composed by contextual mutual learning through interaction. This process of interaction and mutual learning takes place in living entities at larger or smaller scales of symmathesy."[8][9]
