This article aims to offer an opportunity to think and question some of the possible paths to understanding Mikhail Bakhtin’s contributions to the human sciences. Therefore, we will contextualize the ideas from Bakhtin Circle, connecting the semantic production of each one of its Russian members (such as Bakhtin, Medvedev, Volochinov, Kanaiev, Pumpianski and Judina) which provided a collaborative production that has been changing the way Western society thinks about human sciences throughout the last decades. These researchers perceptibly changed the studies on language philosophy, literary theory studies, and also offered a new perspective on discourse genres and basic concepts for linguistic and social studies, such as polyphony, alterity, dialogical relations, etc. These concepts function in relation to one another. We can perceive one element that has combined within itself this dialogue in a way it can provide the interaction between different knowledge areas, thinkers, researches and authors.

ResumoO objetivo deste artigo é discutir o ato de pesquisar em ciências humanas, tendo como foco a produção escrita. Assim sendo, buscamos definir o que entendemos por escrever com o outro, a partir do pesquisar com. O que está em pauta é uma postura metodológica, que tem como referência a filosofia da linguagem de Mikhail Bakhtin, cujo fundamento é assumir o interlocutor da pesquisa como parceiro e coautor. O compromisso ético com o discurso do outro tem como premissa os conceitos de dialogismo e alteridade para iluminar o encontro com o outro no campo e, posteriormente, na escrita do texto. Esse modo de atuar instaura alguns questionamentos éticos, tal como a exigência do anonimato, e problematiza a forma como o consentimento livre e esclarecido é tratado na pesquisa. Em síntese, narrar uma pesquisa não é só registrar os acontecimentos, mas consiste em um trabalho político de afirmação de algumas verdades em detrimento de outras.Palavras-chave: ética; dialogismo; alteridade; escrever com; pesquisar com. AbstractThis article discusses the act of research in Human Sciences which focuses on the production of writing. Thus, starting from the conceptual foundation of researching with, we seek to define what we mean by writing with the other. What is at stake is a methodological approach which accepts the interlocutor of research as partner and co-author, an approach based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s philosophy of language. The ethical commitment to the other’s discourse is premised on the concepts of dialogism and alterity to illuminate the encounter with the other in the field and, subsequently, in the written text. This way of working poses ethical questions—such as conditions of anonymity—and problematizes the way in which consent is accorded and treated in the research. In short, relating research findings is not just about recording events. It consists in the affirmation of certain truths at the expense of others as political activity.Keywords: ethics; dialogism; alterity; writing with, researching with.

This study has several objectives first prove a significant difference in understanding of the assets, liabilities and capital between the students from SMK Accounting Department, High School and Madrasah Aliyah Department of Public IPS IPS majors. Prior to hypothesis testing performed prior sample collection is 68 students who have graduated from vocational secondary education level majoring in Accountancy, SMA study of majoring of IPS science Madrasah Aliyah common in college majoring in social studies at the Bung Hatta University of Padang. Type of data used are obtained through deployment of primary questionnaire. Variable study is a basic understanding of accounting concepts consisting of cash, liabilities and capital, while the distinguishing dimension is the level of formal education of students in the past. The process of hypothesis testing is done by using a statistical test that is using the Kruskal Walls. Based on the results of testing the first hypothesis of no difference in the understanding of accounting students from vocational education majoring in accounting, SMA students and Madrasah Aliyah major of IPS science. in understanding the basic concepts of accounting view of the assets. The second hypothesis found differences in the understanding of accounting students from vocational education majoring in accounting, high school social studies department, and public Madrasah Aliyah Department the major of IPS science of the basic concepts of accounting in view of the obligation. The third hypothesis found no differences in accounting students' understanding of vocational education majoring in accounting, SMA student, and Madrasah Aliyah general social studies department of the basic concepts of accounting view of capital.

From within the philosophy of history and history of science alike, attention has been paid to Herder’s naturalist commitment and especially to the way in which his interest in medicine, anatomy, and biology facilitates philosophically significant notions of force, organism, and life. As such, Herder’s contribution is taken to be part of a wider eighteenth-century effort to move beyond Newtonian mechanism and the scientific models to which it gives rise. In this scholarship, Herder’s hermeneutic philosophy—as it grows out of his engagement with poetry, drama, and both literary translation and literary documentation projects—has received less attention. Taking as its point of departure Herder’s early work, this chapter proposes that, in his work on literature, Herder formulates an anthropologically sensitive approach to the human sciences that has still not received the attention it deserves.

This article discusses the influence of emerging linguistic philosophy theories in the 20th century on the development of analytical jurisprudence through an examination of the way those theories influenced the legal philosopher H. L. A. Hart. Although Hart is significantly influenced by linguistic philosophy, his legal theory could not have been developed solely with it. This is evidenced by Hart’s disownment of the essay Ascription of Responsibility and Rights, his attempt to employ ideas from ordinary language philosophy in the context of law. Hart’s theoretical development shows that he was above all not a linguistic, but a legal philosopher; and that analytical jurisprudence, albeit influenced by linguistic philosophy, depends on aspects beyond it.

Orlando and other texts express Woolf’s interest in subjective ‘time in the mind’, an interest she shared with other modernists who challenged chronological norms, but Woolf explored other forms of time as well. Some align her work with the theories of Henri Bergson, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Mary Sturt, and this variety—the way Woolf developed forms of time across her career as a writer—tracks with the phenomenological hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. His Time and Narrative explains the dialectical pattern according to which Woolf perpetually found new ways for time and narrative to shape each other, culminating in novels that thematize this reciprocal relationship between the art of narrative and possibilities for temporal engagement. Woolf’s early fiction breaks with linear chronology, starting a series of virtuoso performances of temporal poiesis.

The purpose of this paper is to present a very general overview as to how basic concepts of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics can be utilized in the selection and trim of sails. I have used the term selection to go all the way back to the routes of designing and selecting a rig for a given boat. The paper introduces absolutely no data and, in fact, does not explore any existing data in detail. Its main purpose is to show that almost any decision on rig or sails on a sail boat is always a compromise of varying forces. Sometimes these compromises are conflicting dynamics of the hull and sails, other times the forces are man-made such as rule parameters. Perhaps I could have done a more scien­tific job by choosing just one set of parameters that are in conflict and explored these in great detail showing how a conclusion can be reached from all the varying inputs into one particular problem involving rig, sails or hull. This type of thorough analysis, which would obviously require more exacting research to prove the hypothesis once defined, is not my strength. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for me to do such an analysis. My strength is in actually applying a large range of sail­ing theory to actual on-the-water sailing conditions. What I hope to accomplish by this paper is to let sailors realize that when making a decision on a rig, a particu­lar sail, or how to trim a particular sail, they first must decide what they want to accomplish with the rig, sail or sail trim. They must think about it in general terms as to what direction they should take aerodynamically or hydrodynamically to get the forces they want to achieve. Then they must go about the task with the full realization that there is no preset answer and that they must be willing to experiment in order to hone in on the optimum. The input variables of the hydrodynamics of a pitching yacht going to weather in a moderate breeze that is constantly receding and increasing in velocity as well as direction defies simple solu­tions. Thus, the best compromise is usually the best solution.

The purpose of the research is to outline the structure of the main methodological ideas within the frames of interpretive thinking in the essay of the famous Vistnyk’s writer, critic and essayist Yevhen Malaniuk. Considering the purpose and tasks of the studio, an interdisciplinary methodological base, related to the author’s “national approach”, has been worked out. The epistemological potential of national philosophy as a philosophy of national existence, national science as a theory of nation, hermeneutics as a theory and practice of interpretation and post-colonialism as interpretation of cultural phenomena from the standpoint of anti- and post-imperial consciousness are used in the work. The scientific novelty is that on the basis of the previous hermeneutic generalization and definition of national-existential methodology, a propaedeutic outlining of the structure of national-philosophical concepts within the frames of the essayistic interpretation of reality in Ye. Malaniuk is proposed. In the methodological sense, the writer’s essayism is structured by such concepts as nation-centrism, idealism, voluntarism, heroism, and can be considered as one of the variants (close by the experiences of D. Dontsov, Yu. Lypa, M. Mukhyn, etc.) of the Vistnyk’s national-philosophical (national-existential, nationalistic or nation-centric) hermeneutics, that is, the way of understanding, which the author by himself outlined as a “national approach”. The support of Ye. Malaniuk as a culture-philosopher and exegete on the eternal nation-centric values and criteria in his essayistic studies makes his reflections not only historically interesting, but also theoretically productive, classically important for the development of modern Ukrainian hermeneutics and humanities in general.

The 1980s saw the introduction of postmodern literary theory into the field of rabbinic literature, in particular into the study of midrash, which began to be explored as anticipating or aligning with many of the claims of modern literary theorists. This new interest intersected oddly at times with the prevailing historicist mode of inquiry. For many scholars, the notion of textual indeterminacy supported the idea of the interpreter of the text as essentially an “eisegete,” who reads the text from his or her own historically embedded perspective, rather than as an exegete, who at least attempts to find out what the text “really means.” Thus, scholars who embraced this new perspective often rejected an inquiry into midrash as biblical interpretation in the classic sense of the word. “No one believes anymore,” someone pointed out to me after a session on midrash in a conference during the mid-1980’s, “that texts have meaning.”
