The Double Meaning of Money

How does monetization affect interpersonal relationships? Drawing on social phenomenology, I argue that an answer must account for money’s symbolic dualism: On the one hand, as Zelizer has shown, money is differentially earmarked according to the interpersonal relationships it flows through. On the other hand, in everyday life, people tend to associate money with cold impersonality. Money’s dual association with both the interpersonal and the impersonal imbues the relationships it flows through with a sense of risk, which I call “the risk of lost meanings.” Analyzing the implications of this sense of risk, I argue that it turns trust into a relational preoccupation and constrains intersubjective experience. The risk of lost meanings may motivate risk-avoidance strategies, but these strategies are largely counterproductive. Shedding new light on a long-standing debate in the sociology of money, I discuss the implications of this argument for analyses of monetary developments and local currencies.

Indigenous Organising in Global Contexts

<p>Drawing from social phenomenology, this thesis builds a grounded theory of indigenisation from two cases in their respective global and historical contexts: Te Wānanga o Raukawa in New Zealand and The Iona Community in Scotland. The theory describes indigenous organising as a process, showing how leaders develop strategies for their organisations to recover, enact and update indigenous knowledge. The theory of indigenisation also shows how actors use this knowledge to rebuild identity and overcome the effects of globalist practices, illustrating the dialectic of how globalisation as a large scale social process may be declining as differing cultures and their ways of organising emerge.</p>

Charisma and social phenomenology: Gerda Walther, Herman Schmalenbach and Aron Gurwitsch

This paper explores the contribution of early social phenomenologists working in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany to charisma theory. Specifically, I focus on the works of Gerda Walther, Herman Schmalenbach and Aron Gurwitsch, whose work is now being re-appreciated in the field of social philosophy. Living in the interbellum German-speaking space, these authors were keenly interested in the issue of charismatic authority and leadership introduced into the social sciences by Max Weber, with whom they engaged in an indirect intellectual dialogue. I argue that their phenomenological background equipped them well to understand the intricacies of the experiential and emotional dimension of charisma, and that their insights remain valid even a century after they have been first published.

Metode Pancasila dalam Menangkal Radikalisme

The rise of the Takfirism phenomenon in society indicates a threatening condition which potentially causes the disintegration of Pancasila. Pancasila as a core value and the basis of national ideology has not been effectively solved the issue of the rise of Takfirism in society. Internal and external factors play an important role in the process of spreading ideas of Takfirism which triggers the emergence of radicalism that eventually leads to acts of terrorism and separatism. The process of searching and finding the right method to build Pancasila as the standard criteria and the validity of values is important to be discussed in the studies and research of Pancasila. This study will explore and describe Pancasila as a method in countering radicalism which is rooted in Takfirism. The method used in this study is a critical study method approach and social phenomenology. The data in this research were obtained through news articles, research reports, study results, scientific journals, and books related to the topic of this research. The result of this research indicates that the Pancasila method as an effort to counter radicalism is very crucial and urgently needed by the state and society in general. Pancasila as a value system and a state system needs to be strengthened by the establishment of the standard criteria and the validity of values that are trustworthy and acknowledged by all social classes.------AbstrakFenomena berkembangnya paham takfirisme yang berada di lingkungan masyarakat telah menunjukkan kondisi yang rawan dan berpotensi pada disintegrasi Pancasila. Pancasila sebagai sumber nilai dan dasar negara belum dapat berperan secara maksimal dalam menangani persoalan maraknya paham takfirisme di kalangan masyarakat. Faktor internal dan eksternal memiliki peran penting dalam proses berkembangnya paham takfirisme yang melahirkan gerakan dan paham radikalisme yang mengarah pada tindakan terorisme dan perpecahan di masyarakat. Proses pencarian dan penemuan metode yang tepat untuk menjadikan Pancasila sebagai standar kriteria dan validitas nilai menjadi penting untuk dideskripsikan dalam kajian dan penelitian tentang kepancasilaan. Studi ini akan mengeksplorasi dan mendeskripsikan tentang Pancasila menjadi metode dalam menangkal paham radikalisme yang berakar dari paham takfirisme. Metode dalam kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode kajian kritis dan fenomenologi sosial. Sumber data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari berita, laporan penelitian, hasil kajian, jurnal ilmiah, dan buku yang berkaitan dengan tema penelitian ini. Hasil yang dicapai dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode Pancasila sebagai upaya untuk menangkal radikalisme menjadi sangat penting dan dibutuhkan bagi negara dan masyarakat. Pancasila sebagai sistem nilai dan sistem negara perlu diperkuat dengan pembentukan standar kriteria dan validitas nilai yang dapat dipercaya dan diakui oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat.

“Intersubjectivity”: The Emergence of a Socio-Phenomenological Concept

The article outlines the author’s vision of the formation and development of “intersubjectivity” as a concept of socially oriented thought. Introduced into sociohumanitarian knowledge by E. Husserl’s phenomenology, this notion initially possessed powerful sociological potential and was called to explain on an abstract-philosophical level the existence of social order from an egological perspective (which is the perspective of a subject with a sphere of consciousness that other participants of interaction have no access to). The main tendency inherent to the post-Husserlian change in the concept’s semantic profile is linked to the gradual loss of its metaphysical potential, as well as its psychologization and instrumentalization. Intersubjectivity — which is something that was brought into sociology by A. Schütz’s social phenomenology — gained a pragmatic interpretation, effectively becoming an axiomatically presupposed attribute of the “life world”. Constructivist semantic valences of the analyzed concept were implemented in the social constructivism of P. Berger and T. Lukman, and at this point said concept had pretty much exhausted its initial analytical potential. The reinvigoration of sociological interest towards this category is associated with a postclassical redirection of attention towards interactive processes of generating meanings within situations of the “life world”, processes that are multidimensional, conditioned by context and cannot be fully reduced to just the subject. The matter of whether returning to Husserl’s intuitions is appropriate demands further consideration, in order to consider other interpretations of intersubjectivity, including those that focus on the historical course of the social process.

On the formulation of the subject matter of social phenomenology

The article is devoted to the formation of the problem field of social phenomenology. The author analyzed the works of the phenomenological and socio-constructivist directions of research and identified a common conceptual core. The authors (T. Luckman, M. Merleau-Ponty, M. Eldred) distinguish a previously undifferentiated communicative horizon in the field of interaction. The communicative horizon belongs to the primordial sphere of the subject and is the result of the demarcation of the homogeneous world according to the criterion of ability to communicate. The line of demarcation is determined by the behavior of beings and does not necessarily cover only the zone of human embodiment. It was established that the communicative aspect and the aspect of asking about oneself as a human being are closely related. The mobility of the boundaries of the meanings of the world objects, the subjectivity of judgment, the possibility of correlating with the help of socio-historical reality comprise the aggregate subject matter of social phenomenology. The author concludes that due to the lack of unambiguous criteria for establishing the framework of the social world, one should resort to the description of the phenomenal plan of sociality, which can help to qualitatively distinguish the levels of social reality in the long term.

Social Phenomenology as a Factor of Self-organization of Democracy

The study investigates the self-organizational bases of democracy. The author proves that social phenomenology is the self-organizational basis of democracy. The main idea of the article is that the self-organization of democracy has a phenomenological dimension. It is established that the self-organization bases of democracy are such structural elements of social phenomenology of democracy as social feelings – voluntariness, responsibility, openness, respect, tolerance, solidarity, honesty, humanness, trust, devotion to the ideals of democracy and sacrifice for them. It is substantiated that the elements of social phenomenology of democracy are such values as egalitarianism, rule of law, freedom, justice, the plurality of values, democratic competition, civic peace and cooperation. It is shown that the social phenomenology of democracy is the basis for support of such democratic institutions and procedures as a division of branches of power, fair and free elections, the secrecy of the ballot, deliberation, control over government and multiparty system.
