‘No one would give me that job in Australia’: when professional identities intersect with how teachers look, speak, and where they come from

ABSTRACT This article investigates how non-native English-speaking teachers’ (NNESTs) professional identities can be affected by their employment experiences in Australia. Hermeneutic phenomenological narrative analyses of the written narratives of lived experiences of a group of NNESTs demonstrate how their professional identities were negatively affected by hiring discrimination, which also had psycho-emotional impacts on their professional selves. Socio-cultural representations of race, language, and other cultural attributes convergingly contributed to their unemployment despite meeting country-specific eligibility criteria to be English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. The interplay between their professional identities and socio-cultural constructs took shape in modes of power relations enmeshed in the historic processes: economic, political, and cultural, which included discourses of native-speakerism, neo-racism, post-colonialism, neoliberalism, and multiculturalism. Despite these modalities, the NNESTs furthered their hybrid professional actions, recognising the value in the global community of multiple and diverse professional experiences.

The Ethical Thought of the Bengal Renaissance:A Discovery of Morality in Indian Tradition (1815–1870)

The origin of Modern Indian ethical thought is described in the article. The author depicts the genesis of ethics as originated from the works by key personalities of the Bengal Renaissance XIX – early XX century. The juxtaposition with traditional Indian thought permits to present the intellectual process in Modern Bengal elite minds as ‘discovery of morality’. Based on hermeneutic analysis of the texts on moral problematics from Rammohun Roy and the Brahmo Samaj thinkers to Krishnamohun Banerjea, the author reconstructs the becoming of Indian ethical thought in the context of their striving for the moral regeneration of traditional society. For the first time the genesis and becoming of thinking of Indian intellectuals about morality in its connections with the present condition of social decline in colonial India are disclosed in the research. The experience of Bengal thinkers of 1815–1870th demonstrates the solution of super-task to find ethics in ancient sacred texts and next to build religiously based ethics. The super-task had been settled by the method of interpretation that permits to see high moral precepts in high faith in One God of original religion as it opposed to polytheistic Hinduism. The result of applying the method was embodied in the creative and high conception of Hindu morality based on ethical God Creator. The Bengal thinkers are firmly convinced that displaced into periphery of Hindus’ consciousness morality as a code of normative ethics must be revived and turned into leading imperatives of consciousness of people.

Conceptualization of the "image of the future" and the "image of the city" and their mutual heuristic potential

The article is devoted to the consideration of the variants of the meaning of the scientific categories "image of the future" and "image of the city". The subject of the study is the process of forming the conceptual certainty of these stable phrases. Hermeneutical analysis acts as its leading method, aimed at identifying the meanings in which the analyzed phrases are used. Comparative analysis allows us to establish the heuristic potential of the concepts "image of the future" and "image of the city" used in one study. In the article, the author examines the emergence of the analyzed concepts in the second half of the 20th century, their functioning in various scientific contexts. Special attention is paid to their heuristic potential within the framework of social philosophy. The scientific novelty of the study consists in distinguishing four meanings of the concept of "image of the city" – as "image of a real city", in which, based on personal impressions, a generalized representation is formed that captures the uniqueness of a particular urban space, "artistic image of the city" captured in painting, literature, cinema, music, "stereotypical image of the city" as generalized-the normative idea of a well-known, historically significant city, and the "philosophical image of the city" as a speculative model of human settlement, the main parameters of which are socially determined. The main conclusions of the behavioral research concern the possibility of considering the image of the city as an element of the image of the future, capturing ideas about society, its structure, economy, politics, spiritual practices, social expectations of the time in which it is created. The author of the article suggests considering the study of the image of the city as one of the methods of studying the images of the future.

THEOLOGY OF PEACE BASED ON RELIGIOUS HARMONY IN ASGHAR ALI ENGINEER’S PERSPECTIVE

This article will explore Asghar Ali Engineer’s ideas on the significance of religious harmony and examine how this concept is manifested through his formulated theology of peace. The research method used in this study is literature review with a philosophical approach using hermeneutic and text analysis techniques through verstehen. The results of this study explain that the theology of peace sees religion as a source of values and spirit that encourage humans to live together in peace and harmony. Asghar Ali Engineer suggests that Muslims prioritize the principles of peace, such as the understanding of Islam, the meaning of jihād, movement, and the application of justice. In addition, according to Asghar Ali’s perspective, Muslims must cultivate values that can realize religious harmony and peace, such as anti-violence, justice, truth, tolerance, love, and compassion.

Implementation of character education in islamic education

This study seeks to investigate students and their position and relationship with educators, as well as the noble character and ethics of students resulting from the actualization of noble values. All three are examined through the lens of Islamic education. Utilized is qualitative research conducted using a holistic-descriptive methodology. The data sources were retrieved from library records. At the level of data analysis, hermeneutic analysis is employed. The findings of this research Students are scientific subjects who cultivate their potential and form their personalities. The relationship between students and educators is not limited to knowledge partners constrained by the rules of educational institutions, but also includes partners in devotion to Allah SWT. Character is a personality shaped by the habitual realization of values through attitudes and deeds. The most admirable student personality is one shaped by attitudes and deeds that reflect divine values. The Prophet Muhammad SAW became a human prototype who taught the five divine values of faith, honesty, dependability, divine messengership, and intelligence. In the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, student ethics are absolutely predicated on five values: devotion to Allah SWT, prophethood, honor, knowledge practice, and democracy.

Pandemics, Populism and Democracy

Covid 19 pandemic is an external factor that imposed itself on the global stage. Societies are considered open systems that can be influenced by the pandemic.

Additionally, the different responses ofpopulists towards the Covid- 19 pandemic will be studied in order to see whether populist rhetoric triggers democratic decay of rights.

Epistemological Foundations of Intercultural Education: Contributions from Raimon Panikkar

The present article explores the epistemological conditions of intercultural encounters. Based on an analysis of Raimon Panikkar's intercultural hermeneutics, we argue that intercultural encounters cannot take place adequately when they are based on purely rhetorical rationality or rational persuasion. We point to the limitations of grounding intercultural relationships on dialectical dialogue and, therefore, of educating them by simply enhancing discursive capacities. We underline the need for other epistemological conditions that should be fostered in order to move forward on the path to actual interculturality. These can be summarised by what Panikkar calls "conversion", an epistemic framework of love—personal relationality, that goes beyond objectifying rationality—for the communication between (culturally different) subjects. We conclude that the culturally diverse human condition refers to being encountered and being understood on a level that is not merely logical or linguistic. What can be understood of a person with another cultural background goes beyond what can be comprehended by logical rationality or captured by veritative judgements about objects. In other words, in intercultural encounters, ontological, rather than merely logical truth is at stake, which means that the presence of the other can lead to experiences of meaning: it reveals a being that calls for conversion. Conversion demands an ontic action on the part of the subject, not merely an epistemological one, that cancels the violence that rational persuasion might entail.

Występek władz komunistycznych a osamotnienie Stefana Wyszyńskiego podczas internowania

The work presents the act of communist authorities in the context of Stefan Wyszyński's loneliness during his internment. It presents repressions, persecutions and also an attempt on the life of a representative of the Church hierarchy. The circumstances which caused Wyszynski to be appointed Primate are also presented. By virtue of the insufficient agreement and repeated efforts of mutual dialogue and understanding, the communist authorities still wanted Wyszynski to relinquish his position. This gave rise to many situations leading to surveillance and imprisonment. Then, on the basis of prison notes and other materials, the September events related to the arrest were summarized and the context and course of the interrogations were outlined. A hermeneutical analysis of the prison notes was also conducted. The critical qualitative study provided an understanding of the communist transgression. The lonely Wyszynski was sorely missed by the faithful. The article attempts to interpret, or rather set tasks for fellow prisoners. Sources indicate that Leonia Graczyk under the pseudonym Ptaszyńska and Father Stanisław Skorodecki under the code name Krystyna informed on on Wyszyński. They spied and made notes not only during his imprisonment. Supposedly after the release of Leonia and Skorodecki, they continued to cooperate with the UB during the Primate's stay in Komańcza. Attention was paid to social reactions connected with the long-term detention of Stefan Wyszyński by the communist authorities. In conclusion, many historians try to evaluate the story and wonder about the necessity of Wyszynski's imprisonment. On the basis of the source analysis made, it is concluded, that the clergyman, while being interned, showed a testimony of life and heroism that moved him to fight for the respect of the Church and the nation. Keywords: Wyszyński, solitude, internment, communism, prison, control, denunciation, transgression

Reviving natural history, building ecological civilisation: the philosophy and social significance of the Natural History Revival Movement in contemporary China

The concept of ecological civilisation has become enshrined in the Chinese constitution as a blueprint for sustainable development based on a changed relationship with nature. Achieving the ecological civilisation, however, is no easy task. True to its socialist one-party system and scientific outlook on development, the Chinese government continues to place emphasis on authoritarian governance and science-based innovation. Alternative approaches to ecological civilisation have received less attention. In this paper, we seek to understand the philosophical and social perspectives offered by the Natural History Revival Movement (NHRM) regarding China’s path to an ecological civilisation. Based on sources collected by means of snowball sampling, we perform a hermeneutic analysis of the NHRM and its meanings. As a philosophy, the NHRM draws on inspiration from a variety of sources, most of which are European. The NHRM, functioning as a social movement, encompasses the growing enthusiasm within Chinese society for naturalist studies and environmental monitoring, rooted in distinct Chinese origins. Examining the NHRM provides a glimpse into different sociotechnical imaginaries in China, aligning with the government’s ecological-civilisation vision yet questioning the methods employed to attain the objective.

Science education in early childhood education mediated by technologies: a systematic review

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The development of scientific competencies in early childhood education allows the understanding of the world that surrounds the infant, historically it has been done from the exploration of the environment, however, the use of technologies is a current need in the learning processes, continuous improvement and contextualization of pedagogical practice in early childhood education. Objective: to identify training trends in scientific competencies in early childhood education focusing on teaching strategies and didactic resources mediated by educational technology. Methodology: the review was based on a qualitative approach, a search was carried out in the SCOPUS database characterizing the title of the article, abstract and keywords with the following search criteria: early AND childhood AND science AND education AND educational AND technology, applying the filter Source type: Journal in the period between 2007 and 2022 for a subsequent hermeneutic analysis taking into account the categories of teaching strategies and didactic resources. Results: it was found that there is a strong tendency to use the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics -STEM- models; in the case of didactic resources, the use of robots, online and interactive educational applications, websites, use of mobile devices and software for tactile use and computer equipment stand out in the literature reviewed. Conclusions: the present study allows highlighting that it is important to take into account technological, pedagogical and content limitations when implementing teaching strategies in early childhood education, since these limitations can affect the success of educational practices and the ability of teachers to teach scientific competencies effectively.

Art as a spiritual practice. The interplay between artistic creation and spiritual search in seven Colombian artists

ABSTRACT This paper explores the ways in which artistic creation and spiritual search interrelate in the life and work of seven Colombian artists who took part at the Laboratory of Art and Spirituality in Bogotá (2022–2023). Based on a hermeneutic analysis of different narrative and reflexive materials produced by the artists during a ten-month period of spiritual and artistic exploration, the first part delineates the artists’ understanding and practice of spirituality in a plural world. The Discussion section investigates the connections between their artistic and spiritual practices, emphasizing their understanding of art as a vehicle for accessing and communicating spiritual insights. Thus, this work aims at contributing both to the study of the shapes spirituality takes today and to the investigation of their relationship to the arts.

Gender Bias in Translation: A Hermeneutic Analysis of Language Manipulation between Men and Women

Gender Bias in Translation: A Hermeneutic Analysis of Language Manipulation between Men and Women

Поэтическая трансляция как герменевтический диалог переводчика с исходным текстом (опыт интерпретации разновременных переводов «Казачьей колыбельной песни» М.Ю. Лермонтова)

The article discusses the comparative hermeneutic analysis of the semantic-derivational worldview of the translators who render the classical poetic text in different historical periods. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the increased attention to the sociocultural determination of meaning generation within the framework of the cognitive-and-discursive paradigm that dominates in the modern community of linguists and translators. Cossack Cradle Song and its five translations into German carried out in different periods served as the practical material. The article aims to establish the features of multi-temporal Russian-German translations of the poem and the source text as a single semantic space that reflects the worldview of the author of the original text, variably explicated by different translators through the language of the target text. According to the research hypothesis, poetic translation reflects the translator's hermeneutic interaction with the original text, which generates the personal meaning of the translated text. The findings of the linguo-stylistic analysis of the Cossack Cradle Song at the semantic, meta-semiotic, and meta-metasemiotic levels, reveal that the compensation technique plays the leading role in the process of translating the poetic text studied in this article, contributing to the achievement of expressive and impressive equivalence of the original and the translation in the process of explication of invariant content-factual and content-conceptual meanings, as well as the subjective-personal determinism of translation decisions, which does not contradict the intentions implied by the author of the source text.

Narrative Analysis in the Development of Teachers’ Reflective Skills

Objectives of the research: The aim of the theoretical research is to elicit the meaning of improving narrative competence, particularly narrative analysis for developing teachers’ reflective skills.
 Research issues or problems: The research question is posed as follows: Can a narrative, narrative analysis in particular, foster development of teachers’ reflective skills, and if so, how?
 Research methods: The method used in the research is hermeneutic analysis, which matches the field of content narrative analysis.
 A short description of the context of the issue: The content analyzed in the text is descriptions of narrative, narrative competence, and narrative analysis, as well as reflective skills such as being, disclosing speaking, testing, and probing – according to concept of Joseph Raelin, to some extent. An important goal of the research is to show the significant meaning of narrative competence, especially narrative analysis, for developing reflective skills by teacher–practitioners. The relationships between narrative, narrative analysis, and improving these skills can induce the need to add another skill, such as an implicative one, that would be crucial for further personal and professional development towards achieving a higher level of self-identity.
 Process of argumentation: The research began the selection of an appropriate scope of terms which match one another and can achieve the aim and answer the research question. The analysis of these terms led to building the relationships between narrative, narrative competence, and reflective skills, followed by narrative analysis and reflective skills that are important for personal and professional teacher development. That resulted in some implications that may be useful in educating teachers and students and for education in general.Findings: The results show the importance of the relationship between the aspects described above. Additionally, original, result occurred in creating a new reflective skill, such as the implicative one dedicated to further self-development.
 Conclusions and recommendations: The hermeneutic analysis revealed a correlation between the development of a teacher’s narrative competence, particularly narrative analysis, and practicing reflective skills. However, further research is needed to bring about changes in educating both teachers and students, which demands attention be paid to the authentic reflective/narrative approach in practice. This could be reflected in core curriculum subjects in university and secondary school education.

A Hermeneutic Comparative Analysis of Sufi Verse Narrativities: Contriving Meaning through Metaphorization and Personification in the Ghazals of Abadi and Niaz

This study interprets Sufi narratives and perceptions of the participants to evaluate how metaphors and personifications are applied to add meaning to the text. The ghazals by Shad Azeem Abadi (Trans. Abadi, 2008) and Hazrat Shah Niaz (Trans. Sag-e-dar-Niaz, 2009), were selected to hold a dialogue between what was said and what was understood. For this purpose, the three tenets of the Hermeneutic approach i.e. hermeneutic situation, hermeneutic circle, and fusion of horizons, proposed by Gadamer (1994) were taken as a theoretical framework. The hermeneutic study explored the use of metaphors and personifications to unveil the hidden meaning of Sufi Kalaams. Twenty perceptions, ten for each ghazal, were selected for hermeneutic analysis of the ‘fusion of horizons’ to trail the influence of metaphors and personifications upon listeners apart from the musical form of these ghazals. Nevertheless, the poetic text has aroused personal stories and novel perspectives for some listeners as hermeneutics provides expediency to others’ perspectives, and whenever a text is interpreted something personally important emerges out of the text whenever the reader interprets it.

IDEOLOGICAL BIASES IN TRANSLATING THE QUR’AN: AN ANALYSIS STUDY OF AL-QUR’AN TARJAMAH TAFSIRIYAH BY MUHAMMAD THALIB

This paper examines the translation of the Qur’an in Indonesia, which is a sign of the interaction of Muslims in Indonesia with the Holy Scriptures, which is not limited to reading and studying it in the original Arabic pronunciation. Like the interpretation of the Qur’an, which is full of dynamics, the translation also touches on the realm of polemics that attract the attention of adherents from different circles. The polemic in question can be found among the long historical translation buildings. In this study, the author chooses Al-Qur’an Tarjamah Tafsiriyah by Muhammad Thalib, in which the ideological bias of his organizational group is indicated. Is there an ideological bias produced by Muhammad Thalib in his translation work? This study attempts to answer the above questions using a qualitative method based on library research, with a social identity approach and critical discourse analysis as its formal object. In addition, this study will use the hermeneutical analysis offered by Sahiron Syamsudin. In addition, the method used in this qualitative research is content analysis to analyze the results of Muhammad Thalib's translation, leading to a narrative justification of his ideology. Finally, this research resulted in a conclusion that the results of Muhammad Thalib’s translation of the Qur’an in the form of Al-Qur’an Tarjamah Tafsiriyah in it are indeed many translations that have an interest in defending his organizational group, MMI (Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia), which adheres to the ideological ideology of Islamism which departs from the view of integral Islam and is an incarnation of the reproduction of Islamic Revivalism and Neo-revivalism which tends to be traditional and conservative as found in the Wahhabiyah, Ikhanul Muslimin, and Jemaah Islamiyyah movements in the Thaliban

Fazlur Rahman's Hermeneutic Analysis of Hamka's Tafsir al-Azhar

<p>Tafsīr al-Azhar by HAMKA is a work of Malay tafsīr that exists to answer social problems in the Indonesian context in the era when HAMKA lived. Therefore, contextualization is the dominant feature in HAMKA's interpretation; it is considered in line with Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic principle. This research is a literature review analyzing Tafsīr al-Azhar by HAMKA using Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic perspective to find compatibility between the two. In general, this research finds that, in Tafsīr al-Azhar, HAMKA applies Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic method; especially when he attempts to get in and answer current issues by taking the main Qur'an principles through the intertextuality process and exploring the sociohistorical setting of a verse.</p>

Making sense of cranial osteopathy: An interpretative phenomenological analysis

ObjectiveThis study arose from a praxial problem: how best to communicate with patients about the mechanism of cranial osteopathy. The research question was rooted in the phenomenological concept of ‘sense-making’, and was expressed as: ‘What sense do osteopaths and their patients make of the phenomenon of cranial osteopathy?’ MethodInterpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to explore the ‘lived experience’ and embedded sense-making of pairs of osteopaths and patients. Four Fellows of the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy (SCCO) participated, as did one patient of each. The osteopath participants were experienced practitioners, and the patient participants had had positive experiences of cranial osteopathy. The participants were interviewed about their experience of the phenomenon of cranial osteopathy. The semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed. The analysis was audited alongside the use of a reflexive diary and an account of the theoretical ‘fore-structure’ of the principal investigator, in order to monitor influences on their hermeneutic analysis of the data. ResultsThe IPA revealed that both patients and practitioners establish epistemological grounds for their sense-making about their embodied experience of cranial osteopathy (Theme 1: Making sense of sense-making), that they use embodied metaphor and linguistic meta-metaphor to understand their lived experience of cranial osteopathy (Theme 2: Metaphors for mechanisms), and that the mechanism of cranial osteopathy is considered by both patients and practitioners to arise in part from the therapeutic relationship (Theme 3: The meaningful osteopathic relationship). ConclusionsThe main outcome of the study is a hermeneutic model of cranial osteopathy, which posits that the shared, embodied therapeutic relationship facilitates a collaborative rapport which enables the osteopath and the patient to come to an understanding of the source of the patient's malady, and that this understanding is the causal context for the patient's lived experience of better health.

Образ «грядущего царя» и мифологемы современного эсхатологического монархизма

This article presents a hermeneutic analysis of the key concept of eschatological monarchism, i.e. the image of the coming eschatological tsar, whose accession to the throne is expected at the end of the world’s existence, shortly before the onset of the last apocalyptic events. Such mythologemes are particularly popular among Orthodox fundamentalists, the movement of tsarebozhniki (tsar worshippers), who endow the monarch and monarchy with a special sacred religious status. They commonly hold the idea that the modern Russian Federation is an illegitimate state. The author starts with analysing the modern Russian monarchical discourse, in which two varieties are distinguished: legitimism and eschatological monarchism. The latter consists of Orthodox-like subcultures, characterized by radical antiglobalism; Satanist Masonic conspiracy mythologemes; apostasy of the hierarchy of the Moscow Patriarchate; fight against ecumenism, modernism, crypto-Catholics, information technology, bank cards, documents, methods of encoding information, and modern technology. This phenomenon is based on the nostalgic mythologemеs of the Golden Age, idealizing the Russian Empire and the tsardom of Ivan the Terrible, as well as on the mythologemes of the heroic myth about the tsar as an invincible warrior hero defeating evil forces, and conspiracy mythologemes about the tsar as the only force capable of resisting powerful enemies-conspirators. The sources of monarchical eschatological mythologemes are mainly prophecies attributed, with varying degrees of certainty, to canonized saints or to non-canonized, but widely revered persons, as well as anonymous, pseudonymous and apocryphal texts. The coming eschatological tsar is not considered by the adherents as a successor to the Russian emperors: he is the first and only in his ranks. The nature of his use of monarchical power contains a mythological reference to the image of Ivan the Terrible. The image of the coming tsar is formed by a set of messianic ideologemes and mythologemes, such as “the coming tsar is an invincible military leader”, “the coming tsar will be feared by the antichrist himself”, “the tsar will cleanse the church of apostate hierarchs and various heretics”, “the form of government will be authoritarian and totalitarian”, “under the tsar’s rule, Russia will become the most powerful state in the world” or “under the tsar’s rule, Russia will be a materially poor, but spiritually rich state”.
