Phenomenological Narrative in the Art of Autobiography: In Theory and Personal Experience

The main purpose of this essay is to find out some of the fundamental principles and concepts, which constitute the essence of the art of autobiography as a “phenomenological narrative”. It seeks to recognize the common principles of phenomenology in that art, a recognition that it will clarify in theory and practice. Thus, it phenomenologically investigates the art of autobiography as a practice of phenomenology, i.e., as a phenomenological narrative. The introduction starts from the phenomenological tradition, which asserts the intimate relation between artistic vision and phenomenological approach to phenomena. Accordingly, it seeks to prove that autobiography can also be an art which bears the characteristics of the phenomenological approach, and perhaps more strongly than any other art can bear. In what I call “the art of autobiography”, the narrator practices reflection as an act of consciousness, in order to grasp the meaning of his/her lived experiences In this respect, I can claim that in that form of art, the relation between art and phenomenology is stronger and intensified than in many other narratives. This can be clarified by exploring the main phenomenological concepts, which at work in that form of art, such as reflection, inter-subjectivity and lived experience or the experience of "life world" (<i>Lebenswelt</i>). Along with this reflection, which seeks to grasp intentionally the meaning of the experience of the self, "inter-subjectivity" is another phenomenological aspect of narration, which is intrinsic in the essence of this reflection. It is true that narration in autobiography is concerned with personal experiences, but this does not mean that the narrator here is concerned only with his/ or her own experience apart from the others who can share and endure the same experience, even when this happen on the level of imagination. The concept of personal experience as inter-subjectivity leads us to explore the author manipulation of his memory in respect to time and space, and, in the end, to lived experience itself. In this sense, we can consider the art of autobiography as a way in which phenomenological approach can expresses itself in its endeavor to extend to all of our lived experience of our world.

TOWARDS A NEW POETICS OF URBAN SPACE

The paper focuses on the ontological and narrative aspects of contemporary urban experience as simultaneously realized within two domains: actual and virtual. Examining the issue on the multidisciplinary horizon of spatial studies, we have attempted to establish a tentative analysis platform relying on Ricoeur’s concept of identity, be it human or urban, as produced within the continual process of self-narration. Such an approach has enabled the bridging of various scientific disciplines (urbanism, digital esthetics, ontology, cultural studies, and literary theory) and theoretical viewpoints (structuralism, poststructuralism, phenomenology, etc). Accordingly, the paper has treated the ontological status of cyberspace as an architectural and urbanistic issue, all the while concentrating on the following: inhabitability potential of cyber environments, identity and community formation in virtual worlds, and the possibility of reviving the poietic aspect of technological production. The exploration of the multifaceted narrative identity of contemporary city thus became a vantage point from which to interpret not only the past, present and future of our urban environments but also human narrato-ontological premises.

Oral History, Remembering Practices and the Problem of “Access” to the Traumatic Experience

The method of “oral history” is quite widely used today, despite the fact that it came into being not so long ago. The origins of the method of oral history should be sought for in the studies related to interviewing, and with reference to related disciplines, i.e. sociology, ethnology, political science and, partly, linguistics. Quite soon, the disputes over the relation of oral history and historical memory became common for critical literature. The interview method is a very complex way, which requires quite an effort, as well as the awareness of researcher’s subjectivity of a high degree, therefore, some historians sees oral history as a highly unreliable source. Yet, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the method of oral history is in high demand in cases of no other sources except for the evidence of human memory being left. Oral history enables us to study not so much the facts of the past as the very human consciousness and its alteration, transformation, enables us to pose a question on the memory practices from a new perspective. Memory and remembering practices are closely related to oblivion, which, in its turn, indicates the need to eliminate the information that ravages the human psyche and the structure of public consciousness. Oblivion could be entitled “memory trauma” which should be understood as the events, destructive both to personal and social (including national) identity. Consequently the memory starts to be associated with the concept of trauma. The article delves into the relation between oral history and human memory, the problem of “accessing” the traumatic experience, special aspects of narrative in the traumatic experience.

Noches blancas: un discurso poético

ste trabajo analiza la relación entre poesía y cine, investigando dentro de la más amplia tradición de relaciones entre palabra e imagen y, más concretamente, en el concepto de adaptación. De hecho, en la trasposición de una novela a la pantalla el cine se ha centrado casi siempre en los aspectos narrativos. Sin embargo, en este artículo queremos demostrar la existencia de un cine que destaca por no conectar directamente con la narratividad, sino con un diferente nivel artístico menos convencional. Partimos, pues, de un cine que llamamos poético, no necesariamente enlazado con la época de las vanguardias, sino que ha de buscarse también en la obra de algunos directores del cine moderno. Nos centraremos en la obra del director italiano Luchino Visconti, y, en concreto, en la película Noches blancas, que manifiesta en su estructura y en su forma un lenguaje diferente que podemos calificar como poético. A lo largo de las siguientes páginas iremos definiendo el concepto de poeticidad a partir del análisis de esta obra fílmica.

Same Old Story: Predictive Algorithms and the Novel

As predictive technologies begin to extend past business and into government and culture, it is important to analyze what it is that they are providing. Often, these technologies are understood as telling us stories about what is going to happen – they attempt to demystify some aspect of the future. Yet, data – the grounds for all of these technologies – do not come with any context with which to situate a narrative. What then are predictive technologies giving us? In this essay, I use Walter Benjamin’s analysis of storytelling to develop a model of the relationship between ‘narratives’ and ‘data’. He describes a move away from storytelling in the early 20th century and into information, which I then extend to data and big data; while the core aspects of narrative are shucked away with this descension, we somehow find that predictive analytics appear to be telling stories through data. However, through an analysis of the relative capacities of both computer processes and humans capacities in relation to the concept of ‘council’ – a term here used to delineate suggested future courses of action in relation to some kind of predictive scheme - I argue that these predictions do not have the same implications that stories do. Rather, they take patterns from the past and apply them as projections toward the future, which, taken uncritically, means the reiteration of past patterns in the future. These technologies therefore create a kind of temporal uniformity that prevents change or serious derivation from the past. Defaulting to the decisions issued by predictive software, then, seriously hinders the possibility for different futures – the possibility that something genuinely novel could occur.

The unbearable dispersal of being: Narrativity and personal identity in borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe disturbances in a subject’s sense of identity. Persons with BPD suffer from recurrent feelings of emptiness, a lack of self-feeling, and painful incoherence, especially regarding their own desires, how they see and feel about others, their life goals, or the roles to which they commit themselves. Over the past decade or so, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists have turned to philosophical conceptions of selfhood to better understand the borderline-specific ruptures in the sense of identity, which are frequently associated with severe affective instability and turbulence in interpersonal relationships. Fuchs (2007) has suggested that these disturbances in self-experience can best be described and explained by using notions—widely discussed in philosophy and psychology—of narrativity and narrative identity. On such a narrative view, key features of BPD present significant modifications of proto-narrative structures and inhibit the development of a narrative identity, resulting in a disturbed sense of identity. Although the role of narrativity in BPD has been acknowledged by many researchers, some have voiced dissatisfaction with what they take to be limitations of a narrativistic understanding of the disorders of identity characterizing BPD, and have proposed alternative, allegedly non-narrativistic, accounts. In this paper, we critically examine an example of the latter, viz. Gold and Kyratsous’ (2017) account of the person as an intrapersonal team reasoner. We defend a narrativistic understanding of BPD identity disorder against their objections. To this end, we propose a broader, and more finely-differentiated, concept of narrativity. On this account, four aspects of narrativity are distinguished, the disordering of which can affect those with BPD. As it turns out, our account implies that even Gold and Kyratsous—in order to ground their approach—must either make use of these aspects or propose an as-yet unarticulated alternative. This casts doubt upon whether their approach is non-narrativistic after all.

Cum iubim? Coduri de gen în romanul de dragoste românesc

My paper aims to present how the Romanian romance novel written between late 19th century and the Second World War fictionalized some of the gender codes active in that particular timeframe in social and familial contexts. A very popular subgenre amid the unprofessional readers, romance fiction rises a new kind of responsibility for literary critics and historians, that traditionally gave little to no attention to the matter of toxic gender codes found in these novels. This article attempts to analyse, by means of both close and distant reading tools, a few narrative aspects that encoded gender inequality.

ПАРАДОКСЫ «ГРОБОВЩИКА»: ЯВНОЕ И СКРЫТОЕ

One of obscure places in “The Coffin-maker” is the inscription on the sign advertising his services, since it contains elements that contradict common sense. The article provides a brief critical review of the existing interpretations of this inscription. It is shown that this absurd inscription has a narrative potential, predicting subsequent events that “occurred” in the character’s dream. In this aspect, it is an example of the so-called inverse metaphor. It also has an iconic character, as it advertises non-existent services to send to the world of nonexistence. The article reveals a number of other narrative aspects of the story that are present in an implicit form, which is an example of a hidden plot.As a result of the reconstruction of the omitted plot links, a number of circumstances of the undertaker’s personal history, related to his family and the history of moving, are restored, which allows us to understand the nature of his experiences, with the description of which the story begins. The logic of the plot leads to the assumption: soon after the coffin-maker joyfully realizes that the nightmarish events were a dream, the news of the real death of Tryukhina should follow.

Poetics or Homiletics? Hearing and Feeling the New Testament in Erasmus’ Paraphrases

Abstract One of the unique homiletic challenges of the Erasmian paraphrase is the transmission of faith in divine matters from the page to the reader’s mind. By which form of imitation is the acquisition of faith by the disciples and their communities not only cognitively understood by, but also imitated in the reader’s mind? Constituting what can be called a poetics of Erasmus’ paraphrastic writing, questions of literary imitation and transmission are exemplified in his enrichment of the sensorial and emotional aspects of the biblical narrative. This essay examines instances where the biblical text highlights the disciples’ witnessing of Jesus both in earthly life and as a risen but living presence. Such instances lead to paraphrastic developments that exemplify reader-oriented imitation by instrumentalizing the senses, in particular hearing and touch, to steer the reader’s inner affective response, and thus to facilitate the acquisition of faith. Although sight is not neglected, I argue that in this process hearing and feeling (both as touch and emotion) are poetically and homiletically privileged to lodge the holy Word in the innermost affective sanctuary of a community of readers and listeners over time who, unlike the witnessing disciples, can no longer see, hear, and touch Christ.

Lexis of the thematic group “food and food consumption” in the novel by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin “The Golovlyov Family”

The subject of this research is lexemes of the thematic group &amp;ldquo;food and food consumption&amp;rdquo; in the novel by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin &amp;ldquo;The Golovlyov Family&amp;rdquo;. The object of this research is the functional yield of these linguistic units in the text. The author of the article describes the functionality of food images in literature in form of the system of oppositions &amp;ldquo;external (existential) &amp;ndash; internal (psychological)&amp;rdquo;, and &amp;ldquo;static-dynamic&amp;rdquo;. The four functions are differentiated: external static (food image as a detail scenery), external dynamic (food image as a theme-forming element), internal static (food image as an element of portrait of the character), internal dynamic (food image characterizes the dynamics of relations between the characters). It is noted that the thought on &amp;ldquo;low functionality&amp;rdquo; of gastronomic images in a literary text, which is expressed in some research, testifies to insufficient study of such rich material. Food as a literary image, as well as the motif of food consumption in a literary text always convey semantic meaning. In the novel &amp;ldquo;The Golovlyov Family&amp;rdquo;, the words with &amp;ldquo;food&amp;rdquo; semantics serve for the formation of external, existential aspect of narration, as well as internal, psychological aspects. Images of food alongside motifs of food consumption are characterological (describing portrait of the character) to a lesser degree, and more often used for demonstrating relationships between the characters.

The empirical structure of narrative identity: The initial Big Three.

A robust empirical literature suggests that individual differences in the thematic and structural aspects of life narratives are associated with and predictive of psychological well-being. However, 1 limitation of the current field is the multitude of ways of capturing these narrative features, with little attention to overarching dimensions or latent factors of narrative that are responsible for these associations with well-being. In the present study we uncovered a reliable structure that accommodates commonly studied features of life narratives in a large-scale, multi-university collaborative effort. Across 3 large samples of emerging and midlife adults responding to various narrative prompts (N = 855 participants, N = 2,565 narratives), we found support for 3 factors of life narratives: motivational and affective themes, autobiographical reasoning, and structural aspects. We also identified a "functional" model of these 3 factors that reveals a reduced set of narrative features that adequately captures each factor. Additionally, motivational and affective themes was the factor most reliably related to well-being. Finally, associations with personality traits were variable by narrative prompt. Overall, the present findings provide a comprehensive and robust model for understanding the empirical structure of narrative identity as it relates to well-being, which offers meaningful theoretical contributions to the literature, and facilitates practical decision making for researchers endeavoring to capture and quantify life narratives.
