Aporia is a concept rooted in the work of Derrida who famously said 'a question to which you can know the answer is not a question, it is a process.' The essence of a question is that you don't know the answer - you have to think differently to resolve it. This is the essence of aporia. Art, literature and physical exercise can be used to create a juxtaposition which forces you to examine something differently. It is a state of forcing you to stop and think again.

The 'aporetic turn' describes how in a crisis you shift things into aporia then you decide where you move them. It's purpose is not diagnostic but rather to change the dispositional state of the system so that you cannot go down traditional pathways. Complexity based work often involves changing the dispositional state thus making aporia a central concept.
