Hermeneutic Cartography for the Restitution of a Lost Antique Seaport

This article deals with the reconstruction of an ancient seaport in the town of Bejaia, known as Muslubium Horrea. This settlement, ignored by the official historiography, would nevertheless have played an important role in wheat exports and trade with the Roman port of Ostia. Moreover, of all the ancient ports known to date, the Algerian coast has only two port warehouses, and Muslubium Horrea is the only granary belonging to the Roman province of Mauretania Sitifensis (400AD). The methodology adopted to locate and reconstruct the topography and the settlement’s structures is based on the concept of cartographic hermeneutics. The compilation of existing historical accounts and the interpretation derived from the superimposition of ancient geographical maps and 19th century archaeological and geological maps identified all the natural resources necessary for its construction, in particular the abundance of water sources and deposits of geomaterials for construction (clay, stone, gypse, marble, etc.). These data were confirmed by field and photogrammetric surveys, resulting in a map showing the archaeological context of the Muslubium Horrea port and the remains of structures still visible today. The approach adopted allowed to delineate the size of the port site and scale the structures that make it up, as well as identify the water supply source and its primitive topography prior to its establishment.

Body Transformations and their Phenomenological Hermeneutics: A Study of the Concealed Body Phenomenon in Pre-Islamic Arabic Poetry

This paper discusses the intertwined relationship between the two concepts of phenomenology as an interpretive philosophy for revealing phenomena that leads to the formation of a vision of the world; and phenomenological interpretation as concept as a method of intensive textual reading that deals with phenomena as part of both subject and object embedded in phenomenology. The researcher delves into the concept of phenomenological hermeneutics as a method to uncover the textual meanings in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. The phenomenon of the body is selected as a sample studied to probe this existing entanglement. Merleau-Ponty's approach and its techniques is applied to tackle this phenomenon of concealed body. The paper attempts to define phenomenological hermeneutics; and examine how Merleau-Ponty's ideas present the body in phenomenological hermeneutics. The hermeneutics transformations which revealed the phenomenon of concealed body, and the techniques of its presence in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry are explored. The concealed body is investigated whether it is considered traveling through a successive poetic technique. The paper also seeks to present a view that covers the characteristics of the concealed body using the techniques of hermeneutics to explore its mysterious identity by presenting various Arabic poetry examples; in an attempt to present a critical phenomenological hermeneutic study that sheds light on the technique of intentional concealment in poetry.

Women's Leadership: Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl's Authoritative Hermeneutics Perspective

This article discusses the status of women's leadership in the perspective of Khaled M. Aboul El-Fadl's authoritative hermeneutics. The status of women's leadership is debated among fuqaha' (Islamic jurists). The analysis of this article is qualitative in nature with the main source being the hadiths about the prohibition of women becoming leaders such as women becoming presidents and judges. The approach used is a philosophical approach by using the concept of authoritative hermeneutics of Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl. The analysis process is carried out by collecting traditions related to women's leadership and then analysing them in terms of the validity of the hadith using the methods of takhrij al-Hadis (tracking the history of the hadith) and syarh hadis (explanations of hadith and fiqh experts in Hadith syarh books). Once the validity status of the hadith is known, it is then analysed by applying Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl's theory of authoritative hermeneutics. This article finds that the traditions on the prohibition of women as leaders are qualified as sahih. However, although the traditions are historically qualified as sahih, when looking at the authoritative hermeneutics offered by Khaled M. Abou EL-Fadl by considering itsbat al-ma'na, the prohibition is not absolute. This means that in the current context, whose conditions are different from the conditions when the hadith was delivered by the Apostle Muhammad, it is possible that women are allowed to become leaders.

Hermeneutika Sebagai Jalan Teologi Pembebasan Farid Esack

Liberation theology is a theological view that was born and developed as a self-liberation movement or group from oppression. Liberation theology is also a phenomenological discourse with plural social conditions and experiencing oppression and inequality that restrain religious adherents. Farid Esack, a South African intellectual who was in the Apartheid regime, held the view that believers should not submit to political authority and discriminatory social conditions of society. In this social condition, Farid Esack saw the need to reinterpret the Qur'an using hermeneutics as an approach. Through the concept of hermeneutics, he is able to give rise to new ideas about theology or what he calls liberation theology. This is an effort to answer existing social problems, especially in South Africa. The writing of this article uses the library research method with a literature study approach, which is carried out by collecting and analyzing information from written sources such as books, journals, articles, and documents related to the topic discussed. According to Farid Esack, the concept of hermeneutics is very necessary considering that the books in religion are not only a teaching concept that only contains rituals but also contains universal human liberation from social inequality and oppression.

Epistemology of Thought Study of Muhammad Imarah View On Th Presence Of Hermeneutics As A Methiode Of Interpretation

The study of hermeneutics has recently become an academic focus, especially in Islamic thought and tafsir (Interpretation) circles. Because hermeneutics offers a methodology in interpreting the text of the Koran. However, not all figures use hermeneutics as a method of interpretation, more there are those who do not accept the presence of hermeneutics as a method of interpretation, this means that hermeneutics has a very negative impression in Muhammad Imarah perspective, so they criticize epistemological reasoning for the presence of hermeneutics as a theory of interpretation. Specifically, there are several fundamental aspects which are the focus point of this research, namely, First, what is the concept of hermeneutics? Second, what is the epistemology of Muhammad Imarah thinking regarding hermeneutics? This type of research is literature review-based research (Library Research) by analyzing research sources, books, journals and relevant references to answer the problems in the research. The result of this research is that Muhammad Imarah view of hermeneutics is underestimated and considers hermeneutics to be a western theory that cannot be applied in understanding the Koran, let alone in the realm of interpreting. Imarah discredits the view and understanding that in hermeneutics the position of every reader is very special and plays an important role, Imarah calls it a deified position, while the author himself is considered to be gone (dead) and the meaning and purpose that the author wants to convey are considered non-existent. Imarah's view of hermeneutics is the same as Imarah pattern of viewing other traditions and civilizations originating from the west which is not accepted by Islam and therein lies the deficiency of an Islamic thinker who is in fact a professor in the field of Islamic philosophy

HANS GEORG GADAMER'S HERMENEUTICS VS BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

At first, Hermeneutics as an interacting science was only used among the church as a method of Scripture Interpretation, with a standard system or method of hermeneutics. This hermeneutics is often referred to as Traditional Hermeneutics or Biblical Hermeneutics. However, in its development, Hermeneutics came out of biblical studies into the scope of philosophy, art, literature, and history. This hermeneutics is referred to as New Hermeneutics and appears in various variants. The purpose of this article is to introduce the New Hermeneutics system of the Postmodernist era, specifically Hans Georg Gadamer's Hermeneutics, and compare it objectively with the Biblical Hermeneutics System with the standard Grammatical-Historical method, which is often used to interpret the Bible. This study uses the comparative analysis study method to find fundamental similarities and differences between Hans Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic concepts and Biblical hermeneutics. Finally, the author makes conclusions and recommendations for Bible interpreters who are doing hermeneutics.

From the Phenomenology of Reactivation to the Hermeneutics of Innovation

Abstract While in Husserl’s and Merleau-Ponty’s writings, the concept of sedimentation was linked to that of reactivation, Ricœur replaced the juxtaposition of these two concepts with the collocation of sedimentation and innovation. The central goal of this paper is to clarify why Ricœur replaces the phenomenological concept of reactivation with the hermeneutical concept of innovation. After explicating how reactivation was understood in Husserlian phenomenology, I show why this concept is out of place in Ricœur’s phenomenological hermeneutics. I further identify four possible ways to understand the relation between Ricœur’s hermeneutics of innovation and Husserl’s phenomenology of reactivation. Afterwards, while offering a detailed analysis of the threefold mimesis—the central theme in Ricœur’s Time and Narrative—I show that Ricœur’s concept of innovation is tied to that of productive imagination. Ricœur’s productive imagination is therefore not any kind of creatio ex nihilo. Being rooted in cultural and historical worlds, productive imagination configures and reconfigures the world against the background of sedimented prefigurations. While Husserl had offered a vertical model to understand sedimentations, and while Merleau-Ponty had replaced this model with a horizontal one, Ricœur’s model can be qualified as circular: the dialectical play of sedimentations and innovations shapes the hermeneutical circle within which the human experience of the world unfolds. This means: just as productive imagination is grounded in sedimentations, so also, sedimentations spring from productive imagination.

(RE)THINKING CARE IN PROFESSIONAL HEALTH TRAINING: EXPERIENCE REPORT

This study focuses on the mental health of residents who worked during the Covid-19 crisis, with the primary objective of contributing to the enhancement of healthcare provided during their professional training in hospital settings. The aim of this study was to promote the care of residents in their professional training within the hospital context. In pursuit of this intention, the study drew upon the experiences of residents and analyzed the pedagogical project of a multiprofessional residency program as well as its Internal Regulations regarding caregiver care. The goal was to contribute to healthcare training programs in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, based on the practices of residents, serving as guiding principles for clinical activities. Data collection instruments included Narrative Interviews, Document Analysis, and the Researcher's Field Diary. In the interpretation of the residents' narrative data, Gadamer's hermeneutical concept of horizon fusion in human dialogue was employed. The study participants consisted of four professionals from a Multiprofessional Residency Program in Health at a hospital in the Agreste region of Pernambuco. The sample was non-probabilistic and intentional, selecting residents of both genders who were part of the program. As a result, the study highlights the importance of exploring new possibilities and strategies to support residents in their training, transcending established norms, with the aim of promoting openness to listening to their voices, which were previously neglected. It is crucial to facilitate interactions in which their voices are heard, allowing their experiences to gain visibility and influence healthcare interventions, policies, and professional training.

Towards Translational (Neuro)Hermeneutics of Landscape: Theoretical and Methodologial Considerations on Translational Analysis

Abstract There is a growing sense among translational hermeneuticists that their assumptions pertaining to the act of translation as seen from the hermeneutical perspective should align them more with a cognitive field. Taking the above view into account, the aim of this paper is to introduce the idea of translational (neuro)hermeneutics into the field of translation studies. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the concept of (neuro)hermeneutics as based on Gambino and Pulvirenti (2019) approach to literary studies, which is then followed by the theoretical and methodological issues associated with philosophy of landscape taken from the perspective of new cultural geography and of embodiment. The second part of this paper presents the theoretical and methodological considerations as regards translations of landscape descriptions and their analysis, with emphasis on the concept of the (neuro)hermeneutic circle. The paper concludes with suggestions as to further advancement within the field of translational (neuro)hermeneutics.

Herman Bavinck and same-sex marriage: A current application of older theological concepts

It seems like an anachronism to turn to Herman Bavinck for a vision of homosexual relationships in the church. It is indeed an anachronism when we look at Bavinck’s treatment of this phenomenon. Except for a reference to ‘unnatural sin’, he does not explicitly reflect on this theme. Yet, his theological concepts may offer possibilities for creating an openness to same-sex marriage in the church. This article examines four of Bavinck’s concepts, namely the concepts of catholicity, hermeneutics, subjectivation and worldview. While the first three concepts suggest an openness, it is different with the fourth concept. This leads to the question of how to value it. Added to this, it is uncertain how Bavinck’s later hermeneutical insights relate to his Christian worldview. In this article, these insights are weighed, and the conclusion is drawn that there is no evidence that the relativisation of historical and natural worldviews in the Bible also applies to Bavinck’s moral biblical worldview. Therefore, it seems that Bavinck’s concepts do not lead to openness for same-sex marriage in the church. If we make use of these concepts today, we must again account for the weight we assign to the various concepts, their interrelationship and the relative weight of each concept with respect to other concepts.Contribution: This research contributes both to the understanding of the tensions in Bavinck’s theology, to the consciousness of Bavinck’s hermeneutics, and to the reflection on same-sex relationships in the church.

THE HISTORIOGRAPHICAL DISCOURSE OF JUGUN IANFU (Critical Historical Analysis of Historical Biography Momoye Mereka Memanggilku By Eka Hindra and Koichi Kimura)

Momoye, They Call Me is a historical biography of Jugun Ianfu whose entire contents include Mardiyem's acknowledgment as the main character in this book. In 1942-1945 when Japan took over Indonesia from Dutch rule, the Japanese military had forcibly recruited a number of Indonesian women to serve as biological needs for the Japanese military and civilians. This research is intended to explore the dark history of Jugun Ianfu according to Mardiyem's memory construction. Through critical historical tracing, the historical facts of Jugun Ianfu are interpreted in the hope that the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation, can learn about the dark history that befell Indonesian women as a result of the savagery of the Japanese occupation in Indonesia. This textual research can also be interpreted explicitly as a form of criticism of Indonesian historiography which has always marginalized women and silenced historical memories that should be studied by the younger generation of Indonesia. Theoretically, the concept of hermeneutics is very significant in interpreting the meaning of the history of human experience because this concept believes that empirical data shows patterns that give special meaning to human experience. Hermeneutically, Mardiyem's statement in her biography is the most likely textual strategy to provide a different perspective on the dark side of history faced by women during the Japanese occupation in Indonesia.

Szkoła jako przestrzeń budowania relacji wspólnotowych

The article deals with the issue of rebuilding community relations among young people weakened by the necessary isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the socio-cultural crisis. The importance of the notion of community was analyzed, and then the latest polls and studies on remote education were presented, which deepened the feeling of isolation of both pupils and students. Assuming that education after the pandemic should change, reference was made to Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of education. In connection with it, considerations are focused on such notions as hermeneutics, understanding, dialogue, horizon of understanding, hermeneutic circle, sensus communis . In Gadamer’s educational vision, it is essential to believe that meeting the other is the moment when the understanding process begins. The study emphasizes the importance of conversation, as a person is immersed in language, creates relationships with others, and gets to know the world through language. Possible answers to the question of to what extent the hermeneutic concept can create a bridge between youth and school upbringing and education were also considered. Moreover, the article describes the conditions that are necessary for school education to teach questions, not ready-made answers, so that the “virtues” of community can develop.

САНДЫҚ МЕДИАДАҒЫ ХАБАРЛАМАЛАР: МӘТІНДЕРДІ ҚҰРАСТЫРУ ЖӘНЕ ТАЛДАУ ЕРЕКШЕЛІКТЕРІ

Abidin Abubakir Nadirkhozhaevich Master of Social Sciences, teacher of the Department «Assembly of people of Kazakhstan», Sh.Yessenov Caspian state university of technology and engineering, Аktau, Kazakhstan MESSAGES IN DIGITAL MEDIA: FEATURES OF TEXT COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS Abstract. This article provides an overview of the forms of writing texts on communication between the communicator and the audience in the form of messages in digital media. The text of the media can be called the central element of the mass communication process, since the creation of a stable connection between all participants of communication is closely related to the text. Composing the text of the media as a source of message transmission is an act of managing the semantic aspect of communication. The purpose of the communicative impact exerted in the audience is to actualize and retain the object in the recipients' minds, to diversify knowledge about the communicative impact, and in some cases, for example, during the provision of electoral information, to improve the audience's opinion about the main subject, as well as informing about the real semantic benefit. The problem of research in the framework of this work is to explain the features of the compilation and analysis of texts of messages in digital media. To date, there are a number of publications on the issue of news compilation in digital media. However, the problem of news compilation in digital media and content analysis has not been sufficiently studied. Journalistic research prevails in this issue, and sociological analysis allows us to identify the essential features of these processes. The purpose of this study is to study the features of news compilation in digital media. In the research work, the concepts of «communication, text, messages» were considered as a sociological category, classical and modern approaches to understanding the essence and mechanisms of news construction were analyzed. The study of scientific literature revealing the research topic allows us to identify several working groups. Yu. Lotman from the point of view of semiotics considered this term only to denote its natural substance and considered the text as a set of symbols written on paper. The concept of «active audience», developing in the sociology of journalism, In the hermeneutical concept of Gadamer and the theory of «texts» P. Riker understands the actions of an active audience. Consideration of the concept of «discourse» in the analysis of information perception by the audience according to T. Van Dyck, G. Cook, D. Fiske. A comparative analysis of sociological studies aimed at constructing news in digital media was also carried out. The last part of this article presents the results reflecting the peculiarities of the study of the text content in modern science, which are of interest to the content of its text messages in various communication systems. Keywords: text, message, communication, digital media, audience, mass communications, active audience, mass media, communication, communicative influence, discourse, symbol, decoding, social reality, media messages.

Augustine’s Biblical Hermeneutics: Its Three Characteristics and Significance for Today

In focusing mainly on Augustine’s De Doctrina Christiana, this paper discusses three major characteristics of his hermeneutics. First, he understands the Scriptures as signs that point to the transcendent reality of God. This understanding of the Scriptures anticipates today’s reader response theories and the hermeneutical concept, the ‘surplus of meaning’. It also rules out biblicism, by reminding us that the role of Scripture is provisional and instrumental. Second, Augustine’s hermeneutics has existential and moral tendencies. He emphasizes the essential connection between interpretation of Scripture and the interior attitude and moral quality of the interpreter. In this regard, Augustine’s hermeneutics anticipates and has influenced contemporary hermeneutical theory according to which a life-relation to the subject matter is essential to understanding. Third and finally, the rule of charity and the rule of faith are the most important criteria in Augustine’s hermeneutics. Such an emphasis on the rule of charity and the rule of faith is consonant with contemporary hermeneutics, which underscores that understanding takes place in a particular tradition.

Священная книга (Коран) как речевое событие: герменевтические подходы

In the presented article, the Sacred Text, which is the core of theological research, is considered as the Speech of the Most High, addressed directly to the theologian-researcher, who is ready for a “hermeneutic dialogue” with the living Word and is ca-pable of reflecting on the depths of its meaning. To conduct the presented research, an integrative approach was applied, which consists in understanding the philosophi-cal, cultural and religious hermeneutic concepts. Particular attention is paid to the re-ligious hermeneutical tradition of Orthodoxy and Islam. The principle of the herme-neutic circle (spiral) in biblical hermeneutics is considered; comprehension of spiritual experience in the Orthodox religious tradition; principles of the Sufi hermeneutical tradition and Sufi communication studies. In addition to scientific concepts, frag-ments of the description of the personal feelings of researchers that arise when work-ing with cultural and historical monuments are analyzed. For a deeper understanding of the theologian's inner feelings that arise in the process of their contact with the Sa-cred Text, the process of establishing a non-verbal connection between the reader and the author of an ordinary book or an ancient manuscript is analyzed. Further, the spe-cial ontological status of the Sacred Text is considered, which makes it possible to es-tablish a connection with the Almighty, and the hidden rules of reading (recitation) of the Koran proposed by the medieval Muslim thinker al-Ghazali are given, the ob-servance of which can lead the reader to a “hermeneutic dialogue” with the Sacred text. Then the idea of a hermeneutic spiral is analyzed, the movement along which can lead to the realization of the Event of the soul (spirit), shifting the framework of world perception, which leads to the fulfillment of an epistrophe and the experience of metanoia, which are the most important conditions for approaching the knowledge of a true transcendent being. The paper proposes consideration of the possibility of expanding the field of theological research by presenting the world as a Sacred Text (Primitive Manuscript), which will allow a somewhat different look at the "core of the methodology of theology", significantly enriching the scope of the theologian's scientific activity.

Urgensi Hermeneutika Sebagai Metode Dalam Pemahaman Hadis

The Urgency of Hermeneutics as a Method in Understanding Hadith Hadith as a Source of Law must be understood comprehensively, in order to be applied to every age, using the right approach method, among the methods of approaching understanding hadith is the hermeneutics of hadith. Hermeneutics, which was originally developed as a method of interpretation of the text of scripture in the West, developed into the most important method of approach in the field of interpretation of religious texts including hadith texts. Therefore, this study aims to describe and analyze the concept and urgency of hermeneutics in the understanding of hadith which serves as a method for contextualizing the understanding of hadith. The scope of this article is hermeneutics as a method of understanding hadith, to find the moral idea or moral message contained in a hadith. This research is qualitatively descriptive by analyzing sources starting with a narrative about the concept of hermeneutics as a method of understanding and the urgency of hermeneutics as a method in understanding hadith with a descriptive method of analysis. The results showed that hermeneutics as a method of understanding hadith emphasizes the objectivity of the initiator or source of the hadith, analyzing things related to the anchor or text known as the tradition of criticism of sanad hadith, looking for moral ideas from the hadith text by connecting the micro text or hadith with the context of society macro. Meanwhile, the urgency of hermeneutics as a method of understanding hadith is to actualize the messages contained in the understanding of hadith so that they can be actualized in the current context.

Kierkegaard’s Hermeneutics of Anxiety and Agonistic Hermeneutics

Abstract The issue of anxiety has been thoroughly debated in Kierkegaardian scholarship from multiple standpoints and traditions, but not so much when it comes to the hermeneutic undertone. This article is primarily concerned with tackling the concept of anxiety as a hermeneutical concept, or working with it through hermeneutical lenses; nevertheless, the implications go deeper—making a case for an original hermeneutic anxiety, an agonistic trait of hermeneutics. By exploring the hermeneutical dimensions of the Kierkegaardian anxiety we unravel a whole genealogy of the agonistic phenomena—a hermeneutical way that thrives in the paradox. The scope of it all is to break with the conciliatory ways of an epistemic hermeneutics, by regaining the Kierkegaardian hermeneutics of anxiety: preferring the fertile struggle over the passionless synthesis, paradox over soundness and agony over apathy.

Child Marriage in Male-Feminist: Contextual Qur’anic Interpretation

Child marriage has happened in several regions that apply a Patriarchal culture. It causes an increase in the Indonesian population. Besides, it also impacts when getting married at teenage age, such as the occurrence of domestic violence. It may be worst and may cause many deaths of children and mothers. In the concept of gender equality, the ideal marriage comes from the harmonious cooperation between husband and wife. Therefore, stopping child marriage is not easy. It is due to educational, social, economic, and cultural factors. This research uses a literature study with a qualitative approach that analyses the concept of feminist hermeneutics. The Qur'an does not directly mention the age limits for marriage, but An Nisa 'verse 6 gives a hint related to marriage. This research focuses on the comparative interpretation of the contextual male feminists’ criticism, namely KH. Husein Muhammad and KH. MA. Sahal Mahfud. The results of this research examine that child marriage according to KH. Husein Muhammad is still happening in society because of culture. Then, children should marry with the requirement that they have reached puberty and have mental and physical readiness in line with KH. Sahal Mahfudh suggestion revealed that mujbir's guardians might marry their children. However, it requires permission and approval from prospective adult women. It is very important because if the woman has no inner and outer consent, the marriage carried out will be very dangerous.

Fights and Flights: Two Underrated ‘Alternatives’ to Dominant Readings intafsīr

Does Q. 2:178 legislate retaliation for murder? Was Abraham commanded to chop up some birds according to Q. 2:260? This paper examines two cases in which a dominant view in Muslim exegesis has existed alongside an alternative that is minimised or criticised, while arguably being a closer fit to the text and context of the verse. The first, a ‘historicist’ reading of the qiṣāṣ verse (Q. 2:178), was picked up and advocated by the influential Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328), yet it has even less of a footprint in exegetical works subsequent to him. The second, a ‘naturalist’ reading of the birds verse (Q. 2:260) advanced by Abū Muslim al-Iṣfahānī (d. 322/934), has been adopted by some modern exegetes and translators, but largely dismissed as strained and contrary to consensus. As well as charting the reception of these competing views, I analyse them comparatively, phrase by phrase, and argue that these alternatives are more plausible, and indeed fruitful, than the commonly accepted interpretations. The juxtaposition of these cases invites closer examination of key hermeneutical concepts in the tafsīr tradition.
