Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutic Analysis on User Interface Design for Augmented Reality Baleganjur Applications

Augmented reality technology or more popularly known as AR is a technology that implements interactive multimedia concepts. Augmented reality technology is a technology that combines the virtual world with the real world in real-time, through electronic devices such as cameras, sensors and software, augmented reality is able to display virtual objects in both 2D and 3D form in the real world. In this study, it focuses on analyzing the appearance of the interface design or the main menu application user interface by implementing augmented reality technology, with the name of the application, Augmented Reality Baleganjur. The user interface display on the main menu of the Baleganjur Augmented Reality application has design elements that can be translated with different meanings and understandings, depending on the user's point of view. This is the basis of this research, where the appearance of the user interface design on the main menu of the Baleganjur Augmented Reality application has design elements that can lead to different interpretations of meaning and understanding. The purpose of this study is of course to reveal the meaning and understanding of the design elements in the user interface design display of the Baleganjur Augmented Reality application, by conducting an in-depth analysis using Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics. As for the results of this study, it can be concluded that researchers as hermeneutics have an important role in interpreting and offering solutions, which can later be used as a reference for repairing or perfecting design elements in the application user interface, so that these design elements can convey meaning and understanding in a comprehensive and detailed manner to users.

Reading and understanding the city: assumptions for a hermeneutic analysis of the material heritage of urban space

The purpose of this article is to understand the theoretical assumptions underlying an urban hermeneutics. Here, we will focus on the implications of understanding the urban infrastructure and the buildings that were bequeathed to us by generations that preceded us in an analogous way to a text. therefore, we will seek to clarify some basic notions of Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics. Furthermore, it will be possible to envision the advantages, in terms ofour relationship with the city, of considering the past as a “space of experience” and the future as a “horizon of expectations”, as suggested by Reinhart Koselleck. I believe that, like written discourse, the material heritage of cities has semantic autonomy and can be interpreted today in multiple ways by its readers. In this way, we can say that the actions that unfold in the historical present see the past as an inexhaustible source of resources and possibilities.

Symbolic Meaning Relationship between the Condong Character and the Putri in the Gambuh Batuan Dance Drama

Gambuh is the oldest Balinese theatrical dance drama, with a rich repertoire of dance movements, music, dramaturgy, and costume design, making it the source of Balinese performing arts that emerged later. The main story is about the journey of Prince Panji to find his lover, Princess Candra Kirana. There are two important female characters, namely Condong (servant) and Putri (Princess), who have different social statuses but have a close relationship and play a key role at the beginning of the drama, making them the determinant of the success of the performance. The research aims to reinterpret the meanings contained in the Gambuh dance drama, especially the relationship between Condong and Putri, to offer a living interpretation of local wisdom, pass them on to the next generations, and contribute to building the character of the nation that has nobility and refinement of character. The research was conducted using a qualitative research method, including a literature review, participatory observation, and in-depth interviews in Batuan Village, Gianyar Regency, Bali. The research process begins with a formal description of the characters, dance movements, costumes, and antawacana (dialogue), then the symbolic meaning analysis is carried out using Aesthetic Theory and HG Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics approach. The results of the study show that the relationship between the two characters, Condong and Putri, carries the meanings of dedication, sincerity, ethics, and the strength of women - values that are local wisdom but very relevant to women today. The elements of Rwa Bhineda, which are two opposing forces, Trihita Karana, which is harmony with nature, God, and humans, and the Hindu concept of Satyam Sivam Shundaram, which embodies ethical and pure values wrapped in beauty in the Gambuh dance drama - are the essence of Gambuh that is relevant to the present day, making it universal, transcending time and distance.

Pragmatic and Idealist Public Accountants: Interpretation of Professional Ethics through Ricoeur's Hermeneutics

For the public accounting profession to remain viable, ethics is a crucial problem. This study aims to analyze professional ethics from a public accountant's viewpoint. In order to accomplish this, an approach based on Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics is employed. According to Ricoeur, interpretation continues to be explained through conduct after understanding. The information was obtained through in-depth interviews with ten public accountants in Indonesia. Information about ethical transgressions will demonstrate consistency between public accountants' attitudes and actions. According to the study's findings, public accountants have various ethical perspectives. The idealist kind of public accountant views ethics as extending beyond compliance with the code of ethics and rules and grounds his behavior on the principles he believes in. The pragmatic type of public accountant limits ethics to compliance with the code of ethics and regulations. Different behaviors result from different understandings. While the idealistic public accountant can avoid unethical action, the pragmatic public accountant is easily drawn into it.

Muhammad Qoyyim Ya'qub's Locality Expression in the Qur’any Song

The practice of Islam in the archipelago is the result of the dialectic of the Shari'a text with the realities of the local culture. It can be said that Islam and culture are entities that cannot be denied each other. It became a starting point for Muhammad Qoyyim Ya'qub to interpret contextually that is integrated with aspects of locality. The song Qur'any is a form of Qoyyim's actualization of exploring and grounding the values of the Qur'an in the cultural framework of the archipelago. So, this article reveals; 1) the extent to which Muhammad Qoyyim Ya'qub reveals the locality dimension in his commentary; Song Qur’any, and 2) what strategy is used to explore the reading of the Qur'an. Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics was used to analyze the results of Muhammad Qoyyim Ya'qub's interpretation and communication theory to map his da'wah mode. The finding explores that the Song of the Qur’an contains both appreciation and criticism. Beside internalizing, Qoyyim Ya'qub in his interpretation responds to local culture which is considered not in line with Islamic values. Lyric Poetry is the chosen medium to assist in the process of transmitting the messages of the Qur'an

ILLUMINASI SUHRAWARDI AL-MAQTŪL SEBAGAI BASIS ONTOLOGI FILSAFAT ETIKA

It is difficult to find a study of ethical philosophy issues in the history of Islamic civilization. The reason is because it was not written separately by Muslim thinkers. It is discussed in tandem with or mixed with other reviews, such as mixed with reviews of metaphysics, psychology, and so on. This paper attempts to reconstruct the philosophy of ethics in Suhrawardi al-Maqtul's thought through the metaphysical theory that he offers. This is qualitative research that is categorized in the type of library research. The field of research is Suhrawardi's work in the form of text, therefore the method used is hermeneutics. More precisely, the hermeneutics used are the hermeneutics of intentionalism and the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. This research shows that Suhrawardi has provided a well-established ontological view for developing ethical concepts. Suhrawardi symbolically identifies good with light (al-nūr) and bad with darkness (ẓulm). Become a perfect human being when the soul is able to let go of the elements of darkness and merge with the light of goodness. The ethical concept offered by Suhrawardi tends to be mystical-rationalist like his big ideas that accommodate Sufism that is harmonized with philosophy.

Paul Ricoeur on the Recognition of Anxiety: Phenomenological Hermeneutics in Action

The philosophical concept of anxiety, which is usually associated with Kierkegaard and Heidegger's existential philosophy, seems to be an underestimated notion in Paul Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics, while its role is important - anxiety appears to serve as the grounding for hope in his hermeneutics of self. The article aims to show how the anxiety is explained in Ricoeur's philosophy through attention and recognition, and how the anxiety is reflected in the narrative forms, or descriptions of vivencia . These descriptions may be seen as the verbal explanation of the so-called affective niche or affective scaffolding , which is a form of cultural adaptation, attempting to interpret and comprehend one's state of mind and way of the perception of the world as such in the given moment. The research and further dialogue based on these narrations may become an important source to recover from anxiety disorder, by discovering its existential meaning and, at the same time, accepting personal responsibility for it. Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics made an important theoretical contribution in understanding the essential aspects of anxiety and hope; but it also developed prolific methods of interpretation, that could be practically applied in health care and psychotherapy; these can be shown on the example of the psychotherapeutic method of the usage of so-called 'anxiety protocols', which aim to arrange the hermeneutical co-research to help patient/client to recognize and overcome its anxiety disorders.

Makna Teologis Dangding Kinanti Ngahurun Balung Karya Haji Hasan Mustapa: Analisis Hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur

The purpose of this study was to analyze the theological meaning of Dangding Kinanti Ngahurun Balung by using Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical analysis. The method used is a type of qualitative research with literature study. The results and discussion of this research include the biography of Haji Hasan Mustapa, the text of Dangding Kinanti Ngahurun Balung and analysis of the theological meaning of Dangding Kinanti Ngahurun Balung. The conclusion of this study is that the theological meaning of Dangding Kinanti Ngahurun Balung is aware of the limitations in the quest to know God, so that humans are required to be humble before God and surrender to Him as a servant. This research is recommended for further studies on Haji Hasan Mustapa's dangding texts and the use of hermeneutics as an analytical tool, especially Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics and studies on theology.

Gris: metaphor, symbol and storytelling in (inter)action.

Gris, an independent Spanish video game, explores the expressive possibilities of this creative medium through a story that is, on one hand, a symbolic representation of the psychological process of the protagonist, and, on the other hand, a foundational narrative about the loss and recovery of identity. This title employs the expressive tools of the history of art to build its aesthetic proposal; in particular, it is categorically placed in the line of surrealism as an artistic current. The analysis of this elements is realized through fundamental notions of rhetoric and poetics, referencing authors such as Helena Beristáin and Carmen Bobes, and the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur, as well as theoretical perspectives that allow building bridges of analysis between literature and the visual arts.

Narrating a Sacred Universe. A Study of The Universe Story through the Hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur

This essay examines the use of language in narrating a sacred universe, focusing specifically on the text of The Universe Story by Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme. It applies the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur, who argued for the role of narrative in influencing a life through its creation of a world, to the text. It focuses specifically on Ricoeur’s five traits of a phenomenology of the sacred. This step in Ricoeur’s hermeneutics is a reminder that religious language has been shaped by demythologisation, and this in turn impacts any attempt to articulate in language what is interpreted as an experience of the sacred. In designating the universe as sacred, The Universe Story is confronted with the task of narrating such an experience. In examining the language of the text, this essay analyses how this is preformed and the effectiveness of such an approach.

Hermeneutic reason as the “Art of understanding”

Originally, hermeneutics was the interpretation of important texts. In the 19th century, hermeneutics transformed into a science about the meaning and interpretation of all expressions. In the 20th century, Martin Heidegger radicalized hermeneutics, indicating that understanding (the essence of hermeneutics) is not a technical or intellectual operation, but a way of being. The central point of reference in the article is the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. The central idea of Gadamer’s philosophy is understanding, which is connected with the so-called “rehabilitation of practical philosophy”. In such philosophy, the question concerning wisdom and thinking about the best possible way of life occupies an important place. Gadamer in his philosophy indicated the conditions of understanding. One of the main elements of his concept is hermeneutic experience, a negative experience, meaning awareness of the finite nature of all understanding. Complementation of Gadamer’s concept could be the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. He believed that there is not a correct method of interpretation and the best way to understand is the “conflict of hermeneutics”. Ricoeure discerned two forms of hermeneutics: “hermeneutics of trust” and “hermeneutics of suspicion”. The idea of hermeneutics is developed as an art of understanding, indicating the conditions and possibilities of interpreting texts, symbols and metaphors. An interesting addition to the philosophy of Gadamer and Ricoeur is Hans Blumenberg’s concept of metaphorology. He identified three basic positions of metaphors and the functions they perform: traditional, understanding a metaphor as inaccurate; pre-conceptual speech; and the unavoidable and irreplaceable nature of a metaphor. Under this concept lies the science of images through which man grasps himself and the world. Blumenberg explored the functions of various metaphors depicting truth (light, nudity), human life (sea travel, hiking, climbing) or the world (clock, machine, organism). Absolute metaphors, in addition to presenting the picture of the whole of reality, also play the role of orienting patterns, directing action. They contain certain value systems that determine attitudes, expectations, longings, interests, and indicate important or indifferent things or spheres, incline to certain actions or omissions.

PHENOMENOLOGY AND HERMENEUTICS OF REVELATION. TWO-VOICE OF PAUL RICOEUR AND JEAN-LUC MARION

Revelation is a key category for both phenomenology and hermeneutics. The first domain deals with the possibility of revelation, while the second through its interpretation seeks to understand the reality. Hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur is characterized by a focus on understanding the human ipseity (soi) and as such refers to phenomenology. Ricoeur is the author of the term 'hermeneutic phenomenology'. Initially, he emphasized the separation between the revelation of the sacrum and the verbal message of religious traditions. With time, however, he noticed that the religious word assumes the functions of numinosum, becoming a place of revelation. After all, Ricoeur remains on the content side of revelation, and therefore the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion, who treats revelation from a purely phenomenological point of view, is a valuable complement to this research. Revelation is the giving of the phenomenon as such, on its own initiative, starting from itself, independent from the subject, saturated phenomenon. From this two-voice of Ricoeur and Marion emerges a full picture of the philosophy of revelation, confirming at the same time the need for cooperation between phenomenology and hermeneutics.

Toponimi Kampung Sarkanjut Nenggeng dan Cibudug dalam Persfektif Hermaneutik

The naming of a village is not only based on geographical location, but also on the psychological character of the village. As in Leuwigoong Subdistrict, the naming of the village is from an oral tradition, namely sasakala or a legend about how the village was formed. The story is based on folklore which develops and is embedded in society so that it unconsciously becomes an attitude or behavior. The use of unusual words makes the village toponymy unique, funny and even ridiculous. In its development, several village names seemed unsuitable for use, and even embarrassed the residents. The name Kampung Sarkanjut was shortened to disguise the pornographic connotation of the word 'Sarkanjut' to 'SKJ'. This study applies Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, through three processes of cultural understanding, namely: (a) Understanding of the appreciation of symbols (language) towards thinking ideas, (b) Giving meaning by symbols and careful exploration of meaning, and (c) Thinking by using symbols as the starting point. Through the process of understanding Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, village toponymy represents a view of life or advice in living life. The use of the word kuntung as a symbol of the property which has been passed on from parents to their children is illustrated by the use of the bag (kuntung) as a place to store small coins so that they are not scattered. The assets which are inherited will be the responsibility of the children and their descendants to be cared for and guarded for the next generation. Life is always connected with other people. Humans are obliged to maintain social relations among humans, to complement and benefit each other. Keywords: Toponymy, Sasakala, identity, hermeneutics

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCES: SOCIAL EPISTEMOLOGY OR PHILOSOPHY OF INFORMATION?

This article reviews the shift in the theoretical foundations of library and information science (LIS) on social epistemology to the philosophy of information. This shift bids have been submitted more than a decade ago where Luciano Floridi sees that the LIS has close relations with the philosophy of information. Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics Phenomenology used to understand and interpret Jesse Shera and Luciano Floridi’s texts and to reveal the implicit and hidden meanings in the text. This reading indicates that the LIS is a discipline that not only deals with knowledge alone but rather takes care of the content that we understand as meaningful data. With that also, we understand the information not only as a matter of semantic and regarded as an epistemic prerequisite for the establishment of knowledge. However, beyond that, the information is placed as the ontological. Meaning of information, then, becomes important for LIS to place in the appropriate position. The foundation on the philosophy of information can break the chain of LIS dependence on another field theory and develop his theory. Therefore, this foundation does not only contribute praxis to produce solutions to technical problems that are commonly done regarding the improvement and development of library services. Although, this foundation can provide a 'new' space for scientists in this field to expand its epistemic motion.

Led through grief – Old Testament responses to crisis

n July 1989, together with my husband David Hunter, I arrived in Cape Town to undertake masters’ studies in the School of Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town. The programme was recommended to us by John de Gruchy whom we had met while students at an international Baptist seminary in Switzerland. The opportunity to live and study in South Africa at such a momentous time in its history was a great privilege, and an experience that significantly shaped our theological reflection and practice. We were able to participate in “the Struggle” in small ways: by attending protest rallies, funerals and prayer services; visiting prisoners on Robben Island and welcoming some upon their release; joining in Baptist Fellowship groups; and being present in the crowd welcoming Nelson Mandela in his first public appearance following his release (a notable highlight amongst my life’s experiences). We had deeply appreciated our studies, instructors and fellow students in the Baptist Seminary from which we had come to South Africa but studying in Switzerland had been a somewhat “ivory tower” experience, with very little interaction between our studies and the political and social context in our host country. Living and studying in Cape Town was an entirely different experience. There the context shaped both life and learning, and our lecturers and fellow students were exemplary models for theology engaging with the concerns of the day. We arrived not long after the release of the Kairos Document and were challenged by its expressed prophetic theology, where we found resonances with our own Australian context with its inherent disadvantage amongst its indigenous population. John de Gruchy’s writings on Bonhoeffer and the Anabaptist tradition were of particular interest for us as Baptist students and subsequently pastors. While in Cape Town we were involved with the Rondebosch Uniting Church where the De Gruchy family were members and we lived in a house belonging to John and Isobel. Although we only resided in Cape Town for 18 months, it was a time that made a huge impact on us, and the theological perspective embraced there continued to influence our life and work back in Australia in churches and theological institutions. In recent years I have shared another experience with John de Gruchy – that of grieving a loved one. Aside from the birth of our three sons, David’s death due to cancer in 2003 has been the event that has had the largest impact on my life. As so eloquently expressed in Led into Mystery, when one grieves the loss of a loved one, “the intellectual and existential dimensions of being human [are] brought together … in a new way.”1 Undoubtedly, sudden accidental death and slow deterioration due to disease affect those involved in different ways, yet there are universal dimensions to the death of a partner or close relative that create a sympathetic solidarity between those who have grieved such a loss. Moreover, watching someone one loves “struggle for the fullness of life” as they face the challenge of certain death gives a new dimension to the concept of “Humanity Fully Alive.” In the years that David lived with cancer he was also working on a PhD thesis entitled “Signs of Life” – a study of the sign narratives in the Gospel of John via the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The title is indicative of his desire to find resources within the Scriptures for “living life well,” even when life was threatened by illness. My academic work has been focused on the Old Testament, so I have naturally turned to its pages to seek offerings from the intellect of our spiritual forebears in the light of my existential experience. As I have explored the various genres and perspectives offered by Old Testament writers another sentence from Led into Mystery has been the impetus for further reflection: “not everyone ‘owns grief’ in the same way.”2 It occurs to me that Old Testament responses to tragedy are examples of contextual theology at work, where each discrete theological perspective is a response to its own unique context.

Difficult texts: Exodus 3.14 – the name of God

God revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush, as ‘I am who I am’. However, this verse presents significant difficulties in translation and understanding, which this article explores using the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur.

Educación y diversidad: Interpretación de El Huésped, de Guadalupe Nettel

El presente artículo es producto de una investigación sobre la pertinencia de la hermenéutica literaria en la formación de profesionales de la educación. Esta orientación de la lectura de textos literarios se considera idónea como enfoque filosófico que se aplica a los fines de la educación. Es decir, se interesa en atender a la pregunta por el tipo de ser humano cuya formación se promueve a través de la lectura. Como productos de la indagación se elaboran estudios críticos sobre narrativa literaria como propuestas de lectura que, a través de la interpretación, apoyen la construcción de valores con la mediación cultural que propicia la narrativa literaria. El tema específico en el cual se centra la reflexión es la formación de valores de sensibilidad hacia la diversidad. En el presente trabajo se intenta una comprensión de las personas con ceguera como diversidad ontológica que tiene repercusiones en la condición sociocultural de quienes se encuentran en esta circunstancia. La obra narrativa que se interpreta desde esta perspectiva es la novela El Huésped, de la escritora mexicana Guadalupe Nettel. El análisis de la novela está centrado en la comprensión de la transformación del personaje narrador en su proceso de debilitamiento visual que la involucra en un mundo de marginación de los sujetos que viven en esta diversidad. La metodología utilizada corresponde al enfoque de la hermenéutica de Giorgio Agamben con la teoría de las signaturas, como análisis del discurso, así como a la teoría narrativa de la hermenéutica de Paul Ricoeur, en el seguimiento de la trayectoria del personaje.

Ricoeur on Truth in Religious Discourse: A Reclamation

The fields of comparative theology and interreligious dialogue have largely presupposed the possibility of interreligious learning, but there have been few attempts to provide a philosophical framework for such learning. Utilizing the philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur, I argue that evaluations of religious truth should be understood holistically and contextually. In interreligious engagements, tensions are created in and questions are raised for one's own worldview. If one proceeds to imaginatively enter into another's worldview and finds resources there that enable one to alleviate those tensions and answer those questions, as well as make sense of one's reality in a broad way, then one may properly deem such beliefs to be true. Interreligious learning is thus construed as the recognition of truth that enables one to productively orient oneself to reality. The result is a provisional philosophical framework for understanding religious truth and interreligious learning.

CONCEPT OF SPACE IN PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURAL STUDIES OF THE XX CENTURY

A review of some concepts of man-made space of the twentieth century is given. The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the «second nature» in the Soviet and Western European branches of Marxism. The diff erence of approaches and criticism of some points are presented. One of the examples of the linguistic school of - the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur and some examples of existential philosophy philosophy are considered. The concepts and approaches common to diff erent schools of philosophical thought are revealed. The connection of philosophical concepts and professional architectural studies is shown. It can be concluded about the general corpus of the space conclusions, which unites the discourses of diff erent schools. The sum of these concepts allows us to form, with further development, a general theory of man-made space.

Poetic Possibilities

Exploring Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, we craft a collection of generated and found poems reflecting Ricoeur's philosophies. Also, we represent transcripts of interviews with a graduate student as found poems to explore the nuances of her life as a student of qualitative research. We invite our readers into a coconstructed space of poetic interpretation.
