A post-modern theoretical term. Can mean responsiveness, particularly to social conditions, but generally is about making the 'making'/'references'/'authorship' apparent - see below. I don't offer exact translations of the application of the terms as you list them - I am sure you do not need me to do so!

Reflexivity 13 breaks with art as enchantment and calls attention to the factitiousness of its own constructs. The architect must make his own manipulation and that of the client and context visible in the work by incorporating references to the accepted codings. The work is recognizably artificial, a construct, an ideological instrument in the permanent discussion about contrasts in social reality. A cultural product of the kind has the metaphorical quality of self-contemplation. It is a strategy of criticism which aims to establish a continuous critical openness.

To avoid confusion, we distinguish two forms of reflexivity: an authentic and a narcotic reflexivity. The theory and practice of Bertholt Brecht gives some insight into this. With authentic reflexivity, the spectator is actively involved. With many television programmes, by contrast, the consumer remains passive and is swamped with narcotic, culinary experiences. Television acts here like a rubber wall. You try to communicate with it, but every action simply bounces back at you. Brecht's goal was not to satisfy audience expectations but to transform them, whereas the central impulse of commercial television is to transform only two things: the audience's viewing habits and its buying habits. Brecht's goal was not to be popular in box-office terms but to become popular, that is, to create a new public for a new theatre linked to modes of social life, whereas commercial television's goal, at least from the point of view of its managers, is to be popular in the crudely quantitative terms of "ratings".

Reflexivity is relation to architecture specifically - useful passage on this page:

"Contemplation as defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary is:

"1 a: concentration on spiritual things as a form of private devotion

b: a state of mystical awareness of God's being

2: an act of considering with attention: study

3: the act of regarding steadily

4: intention, expectation."

Contemplation is something that is lacking greatly in our society today. In fact, it can be said to be a lost art that we no longer care to preserve."
