The moral (re)presentation: an essay on Merleau-Ponty's notion of time in the Phenomenology of Perception Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to investigate the notion of memory in Merleau-Ponty, suggesting a possible interpretation of the time and memory within Merleau-Ponty’s genetic phenomenological analysis. Ultimately, our hypothesis is that Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of the problem of representation and perception - particularly the problem of retention - places an ethical ground in perception. We will suggest that the phenomenological approach to memory might pave a different undertaking of morals as constructed in the living-present. Our objective is then to point a moral dimension to the process of presentation-representation that happens in consciousness, and establish that our way into the comprehension of values has both a passive and active (intended) dimension that is often underdeveloped in studies of how we establish moral and political convictions.

AbstractThe current medical approach to erectile dysfunction (ED) consists of physiological, psychological and social components. This paper proposes an additional framework for thinking about ED based on phenomenology, by focusing on the theory of sexual projection. This framework will be complementary to the current medical approach to ED. Our phenomenological analysis of ED provides philosophical depth and illuminates overlooked aspects in the study of ED. Mainly by appealing to Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception, we suggest considering an additional etiology of ED in terms of a weakening of a function of sexual projection. We argue that sexual projection can be problematized through cognitive interferences, changes in the ‘intentional arc’, and modifications in the subject’s ‘body schema’. Our approach further highlights the importance of considering the ‘existential situation’ of patients with ED. We close by reflecting briefly on some of the implications of this phenomenological framework for diagnosis and treatment of ED.

While pain is generally considered unpleasant, pain associated with exercise and physical activity is sometimes classed as good. Good pain is usually associated with training, while bad pain is associated with injury. However, the boundary between good and bad pain is a narrow one. We examine this boundary, using interviews with 205 dancers, dance students and related professionals. A cultural phenomenological approach is adopted to understand dancers' embodied experiences and how they describe physical sensations. We highlight the variety of their descriptions of different kinds of pain and its association with injury, as well as how they conceptualise its role within their careers. The three primary dimensions to dancers' distinctions between good and bad pain, also have a moral dimension in relation to the concern to be seen as hard-working and committed. We suggest that the process of distinguishing between good and bad pain is as much a process of not to hear as it is of learning to listen to the body.

Purpose —The purpose of this paper is to explore the experience of the weight of a backpack as represented in typical Chinese children's songs through a kind of phenomenological approach. Design/Approach/Methods —The core issue pertaining to Chinese children's songs about backpacks is how the weight sense of backpacks is generated and developed in the field of song phenomenology. Findings —The “whatness” of a backpack in typical songs has varied over the past six decades, meanwhile, the backpack and its songs conceal not only the secrets of childhood but also those of China's educational system. Originality/Value —The originality of this paper embodies the unique perspective to provide a new insight into the current scholarship of the micro-politics of song-singing and the weight sense of backpack.

In this chapter, I begin by outlining Jaspers’ account of ‘delusional atmosphere’ or ‘delusional mood’, focusing upon the ‘sense of unreality’ that is central to it. Then I critically discuss his well-known claim that certain ‘primary delusions’ or ‘delusions proper’ cannot be understood phenomenologically. I reject that view and instead sketch how we might build upon Jaspers’ insights by developing a clearer, more detailed phenomenological analysis of delusional atmosphere, thus further illuminating how certain delusional beliefs arise. However, I concede that this task poses a particular challenge for empathy, and suggest that a distinctive kind of empathy is required in order to overcome it. I call this ‘radical empathy’. I conclude by considering how we might relate a phenomenological approach along these lines to non-phenomenological research on delusions, and tentatively suggest that recent neurobiological work on ‘predictive coding’ might offer a complementary way of explaining them. I do not claim (or seek) to naturalise the phenomenology through neurobiology, but I at least maintain that there is potential for fruitful commerce between the two.

Increasingly, organizations are becoming “technologically posthumanized” through the integration of social robots, AI, virtual reality, and ubiquitous computing into the workplace. Here a phenomenological approach is used to anticipate architectural transformations of the workplace resulting from posthumanization’s challenge to traditional anthropocentric paradigms of the workplace as a space that exists at “human” scale, possesses a trifold boundary, and serves as a spatiotemporal filter.

Abstract While the use of photographs is an emerging data generation method within phenomenology (Plunkett, Leipert & Ray, 2013; Shulze, 2007), research that incorporates photo elicitation to inform the understanding of the lived experience is limited. This presentation will describe the use of photo elicitation within a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experience of older learners in higher education. After an initial interview, six participants aged 50 years and older shared photographs that that they chose to depict experiences of being student at a regional comprehensive university in the Midwest. Photographs served as mode for participant reflection of their experiences and guided a second interview. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith et al., 2009) with photographs and verbatim transcripts ensued and resulting findings included: complicated sense of belonging and community development and access. Implications for use and analysis of photographs within qualitative research will be discussed.

Background: Caring for people with post-pasung (post seclusion and restraint of patient) mental disorders can provide special experience for families who act as caregivers. Objective: To explore family experiences in rehabilitating people with post-pasung mental disorders in Trenggalek Regency. Methods: This research is a qualitative research with an interpretive phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews using semi-structured interview guidelines. Participants in this study were twelve in number who treated people with post-pasung mental disorders in Trenggalek Regency. Results: Analysis of data using IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis), found eight themes, namely having compassion for patients, having the responsibility of caring for patients, repaying the kindness of patients and others who have helped, having the hope that patients can recover, feel the need to supervise the independence of patients, realize the condition of mental patients, resigned to accept, thankful that the patient can improve and upset. Conclusion: Family is a determinant of the success of rehabilitation in people with post-pasung mental disorders. Family compassion and attention support the patient's recovery. The family hopes that the patient can recover and be independent in self-care, take medicine and work so that it does not depend on the family. This study produced eight themes and answered the research objectives.

The Impact

This study used a phenomenological approach to investigate the recollections of participants of an interpretive experience. Four individuals who participated in an interpretive program during July of 1999 were interviewed in the fall of 2000. Six factors relating to the participants’ memory were identified after the interview data was analyzed and cross-examined. The six factors were novelty, personal significance, speaker qualities, activities that occur during learning, prior knowledge/misconceptions, and visual imagery. Three of these themes related to factors affecting what they paid attention to during the interpretive program. These were identified as novelty, personal significance, and speaker qualities. The three other themes developed from the participants’ responses (activities that occur during learning, prior knowledge/misconceptions and visual imagery) were associated with factors that influence the specific ways in which learners store information in long-term memory. The findings of this small sample may not be generalized, but they do have important implications with regard to the impact of recall of an interpretive experience.

Objective: The aim of the study was to characterize the experiences of parents whose children have been diagnosed with deafness in Ireland. This is relevant for future planning and development of the professions related to audiology. Method: The researchers analyzed 16 letters to the Health Services Executive (HSE) National Audiology Review Group (NARG), which voice the experiences of parents with deaf children. These invited letters are in the public domain and available in Appendix A of the NARG report. Specifically, the researchers analyzed these letters using the psychological phenomenological approach. Main results: Phenomenological analysis highlighted a range of parental experiences in relation to their children’s deafness. Although some parents reported their experiences of being supported, coping, resilience and resourcefulness, most expressed anger, resentment and bitterness towards inefficient diagnostic processes, dissatisfaction with services, and inadequate information and counselling in relation to options and prognosis. In many cases, parents expressed loneliness, uncertainty, and a fear of an unsure future for their child. Conclusion: Parents believed that a great deal of change was necessary to instil confidence and satisfaction in the Irish audiology service.
