Conceptual inspiration from the Gestalt tradition

Iver B. Neumann

pp. 53-62

For students and researchers who are making an effort to situate themselves, an understanding of the basic concepts defining the Gestalt tradition may prove useful. In this chapter, we present and discuss the concepts of Field and Gestalt, figure and ground. In addition to clarifying the concepts, we hope to demonstrate how these Gestalt concepts may fit with a constructivist understanding of research practice.
