The Epistemic Sense of Training Fields

This work integrates the group from the elucidation that is presented in a multidimensional way of which the theoretical bodies that make up this study on tensions, instead of invalidating them, makes it possible to think about the group from the constitution of a network of intersections with varied effects, of senses and non- senses, product of human groups. Its objective is to explain through the inductive generation of conceptual categories expressed in the regularities between investigated phenomena that access possible interpretative theories of the reality of fragmentation as an institutional group. Addresses a qualitative methodology; a flexible design, dealing with the social interaction between teachers and managers in a subjective, dynamic reality composed of a multiplicity of contexts. From ethnography, open interviews and participant observation is permanently addressed, as well as the use of reflexivity, obtained from the analysis of the subjective and intersubjective meanings of collegiate work, where fragmentation was analyzed through participation and significance. of the group. The effects that the group produces on the subjects that comprise it, giving rise to group hood, understood as “a relational structure where it is possible to recognize a clear discrimination between subject and object.

Mapuche women in the city: celebrating their process of ethnogenesis

ABSTRACT The article examines how urban Mapuche women co-construct discourses about their ethnogenesis process through evaluations and dialogical positioning. The methodology is qualitative with an interpretive design. The collection method was a focus group in which four urban Mapuche women between 25 and 55 years old participated. The analysis was conducted from a Critical Discourse Studies approach that integrates sociopolitical studies of Mapuche history and decolonial perspectives on the formation of ethnic identity, with the analytical tools of the appraisal system within the Systemic Functional Linguistics theoretical framework. The study focuses on the intersubjective meanings of the attitude and engagement to identify evaluations, positions, and voices present in this discursive construction. The results indicate that participants develop discursive strategies of ‘counter-racialization’ to respond to the ‘racialization’ that has shaped their lives. The discursive strategies are collectively constructed through different evaluative micro-maneuvers that are realized in the discursive semantic stratum as couplings of areas of attitude: affect/judgement and affect/appreciation and couplings of the attitude/engagement meanings. Through these discursive strategies, these women re-signify and celebrate their Mapuche identity by embodying a new symbolic territory that allows them to carry their ancestors and spiritual world.

Indignity of Nazi data: reflections on the utilization of illicit research

Human rights may feel self-apparent to us, but less than 80 years ago, one of the most advanced countries at the time acted based on an utterly contrary ideology. The view of social Darwinism that abandoned the idea of the intrinsic value of human lives instead argued that oppression of the inferior is not only inevitable but desirable. One of the many catastrophic outcomes is the medical data obtained from inhuman experiments at concentration camps. Ethical uncertainty over whether the resulting insights should be a part of the medical literature provides a chance to consider the seemingly irreplaceable social construct of human dignity. Would any medical benefit justify the utilization of this illicit data? Would utilization even qualify as an insult to the dignity of the exploited subjects, or is this a question about intersubjective meaning? This work discusses the wisdom in blind adherence to human dignity, the possibility of retrospective insults, moral complicity, contrary viewpoints, and possible resolutions.

Citacionismo como erudição acadêmica e como ação estratégica

Abstract Being erudite represents an important characteristic of the academic, causing academic prose to be marked by an aura of sophistication and intellectual elitism. When erudition manifests in the practice of citationism, it can constitute a communicative distortion strategy instrumentalized to avoid or minimize debate or more accurate argumentation. Discussing this specific problem is the purpose of this essay. This criticism is developed by considering Habermas’ philosophical-sociological perspective, in which communication constitutes a process of exchange of intersubjective meanings while establishing itself as a strategic act of intervention in the world. In this sense, citacionism is seen as a usage of the specificities of the specialized lexicon in the academic world, working as an important mechanism of domination and influence despite the unintelligibility derived from this process.

Expert Knowledge on Environmental Peacebuilding: the social context of its diffusion in international politics and what it says about it

Abstract In the last two decades, environmental peacebuilding (EPBL) has become a rapidly growing field of research and practice and today, EPBL is embedded in academia, policy making, and education, as well as in practice. The goal here is to learn more about the social complexity and context of the production of expert knowledge on environmental peacebuilding (EPBL) and its diffusion in international politics in the period from 1990s to 2008. It was also discussed what the analysis of social context says about EPBL, and its diffusion. We conclude that as expert knowledge, EPBL emerged in practice, not in academia, and developed within narrow relations in a very small group of conservationists, scholars, and practitioners. Since the end of the 1990s, EPBL has spread globally, being distributed because it has been collectively enacted through relations and mediated by the intersubjective meanings and artefacts such as guidelines, projects, policies, conferences, reports, and books.

Verbalizing animal inner speech

This paper investigates narrative sequences where human speakers verbalize non-human animals’ imagined thoughts in Finnish. The data contain interviews reporting interspecies encounters in the early 20th-century peasant communities, and conversations from a call-in radio program broadcasted in 2012 where participants describe and explain animal behavior. The study focusses on the grammatical and narrative properties of animal inner speech (AIS). These are analyzed in a cognitive-pragmatic framework concerning reported thoughts, deixis, and intersubjective meaning construal. The results are compared to what we know of language use in Human–Animal interaction. To gain further insight into the role of human language in describing interspecies encounters, the outcome of the analysis is discussed with respect to the biosemiotic notion of perceptual worlds.Reported AIS was found to co-occur with expressions of animal sensory perception, describing the ways in which animals treat and assess sensory input. In doing so, reported AIS differs from what previous literature has observed concerning reported human thoughts. From a narrative perspective, reported AIS reiterated already provided information and did not contribute to the unfolding of events. AIS was used to share awareness of human experience concerning the plurality of perceptual and semiotic centers in the situation described. As such, it displays certain similarities with language use in situations with co-present animals. The paper sheds light on the linguistic coding of interspecies sharedness in perception and spatial coordination.

Genre-Bending: A Discourse on Globalization and Culture with Implications for Music Therapy

Abstract Genre-bending is an evolving term that indicates the tendency for musical and cultural elements to interact with each other, often defying previously established genre distinctions. Evolutions of technology have expanded the way music is both created and consumed, and together with globalization, has shaped the development of a global music landscape. Hybrid elements and dynamics of music and culture have important implications for the development and exchange of musical identities outside of and within music therapy. In this article, there is a brief review of the digitalization of music technology related to consumers and curators. We highlight how digitalization and globalization have increased access through media democratization and afforded a global digital agency. This agency is explored with both the access and engagement of consumers, and the impact on curation by music creators. Those introductory elements are used for grounding the article’s main idea of genre-bending; including what it is, the ways it functions in popular music today, sociocultural and relational elements, and implications for music therapy. As part of this discourse, we highlight how the global music landscape has encouraged diverse music tastes and normalized inclusive engagement, and the subsequent importance of understanding individuals as being situated through multicultural music personhood. These shifts shape the intersubjective meaning making between therapist and client, impacting musical identities. The article concludes by delving into the ways these realities influence how music therapists hold space for curation, clients’ resources, and cultural assets through hybrid therapeutic dynamics.

What is formulation in psychiatry?

The practice of formulation has been both championed and severely criticised within clinical psychiatry and interest in formulation within the teaching of clinical psychiatry is at a low ebb. This article traces the history of the biopsychosocial model, the concept of diagnostic hierarchy and the role of 'verstehen' (or intersubjective meaning grasping) in the clinical assessment. All three of these concepts are considered relevant to the practice of formulation. Responding to challenges aimed at these concepts, it argues that formulation in psychiatry needs resuscitating and rethinking and provides some recommendations for a practice of formulation fit for the 21st century.

Global Constitutionalism and the Rise of Authoritarianism: A New Era of “Sad Resignation”?

ABSTRACT Global constitutionalism is a multifaceted discourse with the objective of building up global law by reconstructing international law and constitutional law. It promises much to better comprehend the black holes of globalisation, including its relationship to the rule of law. This discourse’ expansive scope necessitates questioning its relationship to ongoing discourses on the recent global rise of authoritarianism. However, global constitutionalism discourse is heavily shaped by normative theories that reflect limited, discrete and subjective views on the global order that fail to mirror intersubjective meanings of the central subjects of the discourse. This article will examine the relationship between global constitutionalism and authoritarianism beyond this framework and will introduce “global constitutional culture” as the factual background of the global constitutionalism discourse. In doing so, this paper will seek reconceptualization of the global constitutionalism discourse in view of multidimensional aspects thereof, including liberal and emancipatory claims attributed to it.

Everyday life as a basis for understanding socio-cultural meanings: hermeneutical aspect

The article reveals some aspects of the specificity of understanding and formation of meaning in the social sphere. The study of social objectivity, effective communication and interaction with the Others, is a key issue of social hermeneutics, focused on the person in his daily personal and social activities. The analysis of the research of a number of representatives of different sociological directions showed that when they are own specificity, they are conceptually connected and solve one set of problems. It necessarily includes an individual and social subject, communicative, linguistic and extralinguistic aspects, the participation of experience and memory, knowing and taking into account the contexts that create a domain of intersubjective meanings. Everyday life as an area of everyday knowledge and the world, in which a person (inter)acts, is the basis for understanding and organizing socio-cultural meanings, both at the individual and social levels.

Updating Public Legal Awareness of Restricting Carbon Emissions in Indonesia

The Government of Indonesia will impose restrictions on carbon emissions. The description of public legal awareness regarding this matter is currently an important aspect as one of the benchmarks, especially for updating the status of carbon emission regulations in Indonesian society. This literature study focuses on the importance and use of empirical quantitative research methods based on questionnaire data from respondents in various regions in Indonesia. The discussion using the Regulatory Status Analysis (RSA) path model assisted by the PLS-SEM software specifically provides an understanding of the relationship between the ideal Law and legal culture in the form of public awareness to comply with legal norms limiting carbon emissions. Another element of the legal system, namely the substance of the Law, also has a positive effect on awareness of obeying the Law. However, the legal Structure has no effect, either directly or indirectly. The possible reason is that the legal Structure, the indicator of which is law enforcement related to carbon emission cases, has not been widely processed in domestic courts in Indonesia. This study also conducts an intersubjective meaning approach by interviewing related entrepreneurs to strengthen statistical inferences. The article concludes by placing these findings in the discourse on limiting national carbon emissions based on political will and participatory governance.

Resident training in psychopathology and uncertainty in a clinical situation.

The central theme of this article is the way in which psychiatry physicians-in-training deal with uncertainty in the discussion of clinical cases in Mexico. Methodologically, it is approached from the field of clinical ethnography and the narrative interpretation of plots in performative actions where there are sequences of communicative exchanges. In this way, it focuses on a detailed description of situations where clinical cases are reviewed to decipher, explain, and understand intersubjective meanings in the face of the emergence of uncertainty, its management, and the implications on decisions and actions. The study finds that limitations within the field of psychiatry lie in the nosographic construction of disease and its translation into the diagnostic hypotheses made by clinicians, where there are wide margins of ambiguity. The strategies implemented in the face of uncertainty are use of drugs, the collegiate review of the case, and utilization of intuition as a spontaneous, preconscious daily practice. The specific case described here provides a microscopic observation of the complex scenarios in which uncertainty occurs in educational and teaching processes, clearly revealing how patient care is articulated. The narratives and their interpretation are materials for training/curriculum and psychiatric clinical practice.

The Intersubjectivity Study on Chinese "buguo" and its Corresponding Expressions in Korean

From the perspective of intersubjectivity, this paper focuses on the construction process of intersubjective meanings of Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding expressions in Korean. We preliminarily draw the following conclusions. First, each meaning and usage of "buguo" in Chinese can be found corresponding expressions in Korean, corresponding to different types of expression forms, showing a one-to-multiple radial shape. Second, the Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding Korean expressions of "subjective minority usage", "inflection meaning", "counter-expectation", "discourse organization function" all reflect the characteristics of intersubjectivity to varying degrees. It can be said that the Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding expressions in Korean are forms of expression with strong intersubjectivity. Third, the meanings of objectivity, subjectivity and intersubjectivity of "buguo" present a continuum distribution: the left end has the strongest objectivity, while the right end has the strongest intersubjectivity. From left to right, objectivity and subjectivity gradually weaken, while intersubjectivity gradually strengthens.

Infinitives of affect and intersubjectivity: on the indexical interpretation of the Finnish independent infinitives

Abstract This article presents an analysis of the structure and use of the Finnish independent infinitives. Although typological studies have shown that syntactically independent non-finite constructions are widespread in many languages, the understanding of their semantic and intersubjective motivation is still in its early stages. The current paper aims to enrich the understanding of independent non-finite constructions by closely looking at free-standing infinitive constructions in spoken and written Finnish: it combines theoretical concepts of Cognitive Grammar with the methodological tools of Interactional Linguistics to explore the nature of independent infinitives as a resource for conceptualization and the intersubjective functions that it affords. The paper suggests that the fact that independent infinitives are grammatically ungrounded makes them useful in interactional and textual sequences involving affect display. As the indexical functions of infinitives can be explained from their own morphosyntactic and semantic characteristics, the paper makes the more general claim that there is no synchronic evidence that would support the assumption that such constructions ever evolved, via ellipsis, from finite constructions. Methodologically and theoretically, the paper advocates an approach that takes into account both the social and cognitive nature of language, and promotes the view that Cognitive Grammar offers a flexible, semantically rich starting point for the description of intersubjective meanings conveyed by grammar, when combined with the context-sensitive and microanalytical methodology of Interactional Linguistics.

Theorizing as scholarly meaning-making practice: The value of a pragmatist theory of theorizing

Theorizing is widely recognized as a key activity or process in scholarly research work. In many cases, theorizing is assumed to be part of the scholar’s analytical capacity, but there is a shortage of comprehensive explanations for how theorizing as practice actually generates the intersubjective meaning that is the primary purpose of using theory to describe and explain the empirical material. Drawing on pragmatist analytical philosophy and the idea that meaning is intersubjectively constituted within the semantics of everyday language, being accessible to all humans sharing a language, this article formulates a theory of theorizing that does not stop with the affirmative account that theorizing is a process that is contingent on personal beliefs and preferences. A theory of theorizing needs to provide a plausible ground for how empirical materials are described on basis of vocabularies that gradually shift from being more closely related to an everyday use of vernacular language, to more technically oriented descriptions that include theoretical concepts and categories. Based on these premises, preferably to be further developed, a theory of theorizing that demystifies how theory is introduced when analyzing empirical data is presented.

Marketer behaviour: a case for making this socially real

ABSTRACT This article argues that the marketing canon, as presently configured, has failed to confer social reality to the acts of its key protagonists – marketers. As an adjunct to both collective and contextually diverse perspectives on marketing, more emphasis on marketer agency is suggested, this in the context of nominally focused anthropological enquiry. It is further argued that the status afforded to consumer behaviour be similarly conferred for marketer behaviour, the latter under-represented within marketing research. Drawing on ontological nominalism, speech act theory and Searle’s social constructionism, this article addresses implications for intersubjective meaning within our community and offers provisional thoughts for how this might be structured and improved. It ends with a call to action for both the rehabilitation and expansion of purposeful marketer behaviour study.

The body and the consulting room's materiality as a path for developing intersubjective psychophysical space

ABSTRACT The paper explores the therapeutic importance of some structural aspects of the body and the consulting room for integrating primal psychophysical spatiality with children suffering from severe developmental deficiency (mainly autism, but not exclusively). The dominant dimension of those children available for the therapist is their non-communicative corporal organisation and behavioural involvement with physical aspects of the consulting room. The paper introduces the idea of ‘an envelope with openings’, seeing it as an innate multidimensional psychophysical schema. Such a structure fits with the child and the therapist’s body, and characterises the physical aspects of the consulting room. This structural resemblance has the potential of functioning as an intuitive pre-reflective common source for therapeutic communication. It might support the therapist’s somatic openness, crystallise into a countertransference-based corporal communication, functioning as a ‘constitutive intervention’, and thus give organised existence to the primal layer of the child’s experience. This type of intervention invites the therapist to use his body and/or some physical aspect of the room to structure fragmented psychophysical elements into this spatial-temporal embodied schema. Clinical case material from two therapies with children with ASD, and one adult therapy, illustrate this potential, gradually revealing the consulting room as a goldmine inhabited by subjective objects, ready for intersubjective meaning.

MICRO- AND MACROGENESIS OF SEMANTIC ARCHITECTONICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

The purpose of the article is to highlight the genetic and functional plans of the semantic architectonics of human consciousness. The procedure of theoretical and methodological research is based on the methodological background of the genetic and modeling approach of S.D. Maksymenko, cultural and historical concept of L.S. Vyhotskyi, activity and system paradigms. It is defined the concept of “semantic architectonics of consciousness” as a multidimensional semantic construction that “puts” traces of fixed previous interactions and attitudes into events and situations in the semantic fields and mnemic contexts. It is specified that the “world picture” is a system of variable and objective cases of conceptualization of semantic architectonics of individual’s consciousness - intentionally activated dynamic semantic network with multiformat structure of plurality of individually set images of the world and oneself in it and hierarchical semantic connections (relations) between all specific elements that make up partial images and the network as a whole. The sources of the unique emotional color of crystallized patterns are revealed. These sources determine the detail and scale of a person’s subjective reality, his or her subjective personal response to the influence of objective reality. It is proved that the genesis of new semantic connections creates internal conditions to act in an active way, changing one's life world (subjective reality), “setting” it for the real world in a more specific way. It is substantiated the procedural chain of finding of the meaning, the progress-movement of which as an instrument of man’s discovery of oneself and the world, has a transitional but inverse form, namely: “world” ← → “unconscious connotations of non-verbal experiences” that have somatopsychic manifestation ← → “necessity” ← → “interiorisation” (which is combined with the selectivity of perception of another person due to the action of imprintings and mnemic contexts) ← → “intention” ← → “attitude, activity” ← → “understanding and interpretation” ← → “meaning” ← → objectified “intersubjective meaning” ← → “world”.

Echoes in Performance: Lived Experiences of a MUZIK Harmonie Artist

MUZIK Harmonie is a performing group based in Leyte Normal University in the Philippines created to foreground world-class performances drawn from various genre of music arranged in concert format. Over the years of its existence, members embraced artistic pride in performing distinct repertoire from Broadway, classical, and popular genre while preserving harmonious relationship among members imbued with various musical expressions and sensibilities. This study encapsulated a singer’s lived experience as a performance artist of MUZIK Harmonie highlighting his perceptive meanings elucidated through singing alongside the interactive relationships developed as illuminations of camaraderie’s resonance with meaningful performance. Likewise, his narrative explorations articulated essences through his journeys elucidating deep intersubjective meanings of his lived experiences viewed through the lens of the self within cultural milieu. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of a MUZIK Harmonie performance artist. Investigation of experience included thick descriptions of the participant’s sense of worldview revolving around rehearsals, performances and various interactions both in and out of the stage. Knowledge derived in the study was emergent, not generalized, and the meanings resided in the participant as he viewed reality in multiple perspectives. Results of the study revealed that camaraderie among members of MUZIK Harmonie has a direct impact in effective singing; listening as the capacity to absorb sound reverberates quality performance through balanced understanding of musical utterances; vulnerability as a form of indulgence has a way of eliciting performance risk if not guarded by the performer; silence as power achieved through meditation deepens an artist’s sensitivity of life’s embracing power. Lastly, confluence of performer-audience elements creates a web of communicative meanings through non-verbal and non-determinate cues.

Funny that isn't it ProTags in combination at the right periphery

Pronouns used as tags (It's funny,that), comparable in certain respects to their much more widely studied question tag counterparts (It's funny,isn't it?), are a feature of the right periphery of clauses in some dialects of British English. In this paper, we investigate the co-occurrence of ProTags with other pragmatic markers in the right periphery and find evidence to support a general ordering principle subjective > intersubjective, consistent with the model proposed in Shinzato (2007).Our searches of multiple corpora have revealed that ProTags can appear in various combinations with markers such as though and you know, as well as question tags (It's funnythat isn't it?). By far the most commonly attested were combinations of ProTags and question tags, with the majority having ProTag > question tag ordering. Our results show that there is a strong tendency for a ProTag to precede other right-periphery pragmatic markers consistent with it having subjective core meaning, that it can combine with an intersubjective pragmatic marker to form a compound pragmatic marker with intersubjective meaning, and that certain combinations of pragmatic markers with subjective meaning can exhibit flexibility of ordering at the right periphery.
