Abstract

In Case Study 3, which was examined in the previous chapter, we directed our attention to the realm of meanings for people involved in the Sunshine Project through testimonies and accounts provided by the individuals concerned. Starting from the perspective of the individual participants, the Sunshine Project can be seen as a macrocosm of activities that bureaucrats, researchers and businesspeople affiliated with academia, the government, and industry undertook to fulfill their respective desires. Those individuals sought to develop new energy technologies, introduce them, and popularize them in fields such as public policy, corporate management, and research and development, utilizing their own expertise. Participants in the project tried to persuade others by creating new meanings. Such attempts, as often observed in the case studied in the previous chapter, were particularly memorable in those processes.

As Kagono Tadao pointed out, properly, we must question the situation where “systems do not produce effects unless they are justified” because systems have been “justified as matters that are at least subjectively rational” by people within themselves. Kagono (1988), p. 6.

However, there are also functionalists like Niklas Luhmann who position communication as a system component and raise theories that social systems exist as a result of its linkage based on meanings. Refer to Luhmann (1968). This work was written before Luhmann began to use the concept of “autopoiesis” (a system capable of reproducing and maintaining itself).
