The foprop weave is a frame for a pattern language of activist life. foprop engages three **landscapes** of practice which stand in an intimate, inseparable relationship with one another. It recognises four **zones** of proximity and reach. The three landscapes and four zones constitute 'the weave'.
The landscapes offer a thoroughgoing **materialist frame** on practices of living and working. Although the landscapes are practically inseparable, each calls for a distinct kind of engagement, mobilising its own repertores of skill and cultural formations. The zones are inseparable too, in an actual life, but each has its own bearing on the mix of activity and **attention** that can be wisely be attempted within an activist practice.
The elements of the weave . .
The three landscapes - material. cultural, aesthetic - are offered as three broad, interweaving framings of the location of an activist (or any person) in the material world, which is to say, a framing of conditions for living an actual human life. Here we offer a systems-map of each landscape.
Here we describe four zones of proximity and reach, helpful in framing the situation of an activist and the scope of an activist or formation of activists.
As a conceptual frame, foprop and its cultivation and mobilisation have a number of significant aspects, relating to rigour and to its role as the basis of a pattern language. foprop methodology - Pattern & rigour
