Announcing Inaugural Canadian Hermeneutic Institute


Announcing
Inaugural Canadian Hermeneutic Institute
June 17-19, 2009
Halifax, Nova Scotia


Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of our planning group, I would like to extend an invitation to you to attend the Inaugural Canadian Hermeneutic Institute, to be held in Halifax from June 17th-19th, 2009. Dr. David Jardine from the University of Calgary will be our guest speaker. The Institute will provide an opportunity for those interested in hermeneutics to explore selected papers with a focus on “Time, Experience, Practice”. Participants also will have opportunities to discuss their own work and, during the institute, to write and co-write about ideas and topics that emerge. We hope that you will consider attending.

Focus of the Institute: Time, Experience, Practice
These three terms will be the focus of the Institute as they are articulated in the work of H.G. Gadamer and as they appear in light of a hermeneutic understanding of our respective professions. These three terms affect how we understand research, the work of reading and writing (hermeneutically and otherwise), the work of living with others and coming to understand our way in the world. Implicated, here, are memory and its cultivation, composition and composure, knowledge as a gathering, whiling, and returning, and a formulation of understanding as a way of being other-wise.

These matters of time, experience and practice, will be considered in light of a particularly alluring idea in Gadamer’s work: unlike the natural sciences, whose goal in understanding is to make the matters under consideration less and less compelling, in hermeneutic work (reading, writing, and the practices of living with others), the goal is to make the matters under consideration more and more compelling.

The work from which this idea comes will be one of several primary sources that we’ll be discussing during the institute, along with supplemental material. A reading list will be provided in advance.

Cost to attend: $300 (includes breaks)

Deadline to Register: April 1, 2009

Bibliography of Phenomenological Nursing

I stumbled across this Alphabetical Bibliography of Phenomenological Nursing this morning, and thought it might be of interest to some in the group.

Hello from Janice

Hi, Pete, and everyone, thanks for getting this going! I'm back in the hot desert but we are having our exciting annual monsoons. Nice to get to know everyone. Is anybody publishing, utilizing what we learned recently? I'm revising a grant proposal that is testing an intervention...looking for a way to add hermeneutics! Take care, Janice

New Statesman reviews The Visitor

Music gathers.
[Walter] starts hanging out and learning the djembe with Tarek, who presents him with a Fela Kuti CD. A corny touch, you might think, just like the moment when Zainab gives Walter a funky African bracelet, but McCarthy gets much mileage out of it. Kuti's music starts jostling for space on the soundtrack with the film's genteel piano score (by Jan A P Kaczmarek), reflecting the influence that Tarek is having on Walter. And it's somehow perfect that we discover Tarek has also sent a CD to his beloved mother, Mouna (Hiam Abbass) - it's the cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera, which he picked out to give her a taste of his new neighbourhood.

The In-between, with Aus-einandersetzung

I found this in Introduction to Metaphysics, P. 65.

Heidegger first gives his translation of Heraclitus fragment 53.
Confrontation [πόλεμος, polemos] is indeed for all (that comes to presence) the sire (who lets emerge), but (also) for all the preserver that holds sway. For it lets some appear as gods, others as human beings, some it produces (sets forth) as slaves, but others as the free.
The polemos named here is a strife that holds sway before everything divine and human, not war in the human sense. As Heraclitus thinks it, struggle first and foremost allows position and status and rank to establish themselves in coming to presence. In such a stepping apart, clefts, intervals, distances, and joints open themselves up. In con-frontation [Aus-einandersetzung], world comes to be. Confrontation does not divide unity, much less destroy it. It builds unity; it is the gathering (logos). Polemos and logos are the same.
Between x and y, aparting and gathering, the De-cision, Dissociating Exposition (Mindfulness, 15).

I don't think the sway in the passage is the wesen sway, of Contributions and Mindfulness, but "holds sways" as in prevails.

I configured this blog to not be visible on search engines (e.g. Google), but I cannot guarantee that.

I can create sub-blogs that restrict who can read the postings on that sub-blog to a list of people of your choosing.
