National meal or tribal feasting dish? Jordan’s mansaf in cross-cultural perspective

ABSTRACT National discourses about mansaf, the most well-known dish in modern Jordan, tend to obscure its use in feasting. This study views mansaf as a “feasting food,” comparable to the dishes used in other societies and in earlier historical periods to recruit and reward allies, produce and reproduce differences in status or rank, and repay social debts. By placing mansaf in broad cross-cultural and historical contexts, this paper highlights features of mansaf that have not been dealt with explicitly elsewhere. The study also explores the local significance of mansaf in consolatory rituals and feasts. We argue that the members of a household and their guests assume socio-political roles while serving mansaf during feasting. They engage in forms of non-verbal communication that can only be deciphered by those who are familiar with this particular heritage food and its consumption. Thus, mansaf is used as a vehicle for transmitting non-verbal messages about reciprocity and alliance among households, extended families, and tribes.

Tension and Materiality in a Textile System; A Puppetry Perspective

The paper seeks to develop complementary strands of research and development through a puppetry perspective for designing with postdigital textile and soft material systems. It draws from the puppetry approach to designing and performing with different materialities. The paper analyses how the tensions present in a puppet system provoke uncanny relationships and use the concepts of “double vision” and “breathed stillness” to give a puppetry perspective on textiles in “textasis”. From this point of view, it reviews alternative design methodologies already developed by material researchers to produce new textile materials and begins to trace a new framework for designers engaging with postdigital materials. This paper proposes a foundation to develop new material qualities within textiles eliciting puppet making as a design method for bringing forth a world of interconnected and ambiguous agencies in a textile system in order to generate new forms of nonverbal communication with our environment.

Facial Expression Recognition Based on Deep Learning Convolution Neural Network: A Review

Facial emotional processing is one of the most important activities in effective calculations, engagement with people and computers, machine vision, video game testing, and consumer research. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication, as they reveal a person's inner feelings and emotions. Extensive attention to Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has recently been received as facial expressions are considered. As the fastest communication medium of any kind of information. Facial expression recognition gives a better understanding of a person's thoughts or views and analyzes them with the currently trending deep learning methods. Accuracy rate sharply compared to traditional state-of-the-art systems. This article provides a brief overview of the different FER fields of application and publicly accessible databases used in FER and studies the latest and current reviews in FER using Convolution Neural Network (CNN) algorithms. Finally, it is observed that everyone reached good results, especially in terms of accuracy, with different rates, and using different data sets, which impacts the results.

An exploratory empirical examination on the social hypothesis of contagious yawning

<p indent="0mm">Seeing other people yawning, we may also yawn accordingly. This phenomenon was known as contagious yawning, which could be widely observed in humans and was also documented in some social species like chimpanzees and bonobos. While contagious yawning has attracted the attention of many researchers, the function that contagious yawning might serve is still unclear. The social hypothesis of yawning proposed that, as a non-verbal form of communication, yawning synchronized the behavior of a group as well as communicating messages that group members could share. For example, when predators approach, baboons would yawn, which was hypothesized as sending a signal of danger. However, the hypothesis was seldom empirically examined. In the current study, we aimed to examine this hypothesis by exploring the influence of psychological stress on contagious yawning. Psychological stress is intimately related to the threatening environment, which implies that it might increase contagious yawning if yawning was evolved to communicate threatening messages. Accordingly, the heart rate variability (HRV) and theory of mind (ToM) might regulate the above effect, considering that HRV is a physiological signal related to threat perception, and ToM serves as a basis of social understanding. To examine the hypotheses, we recruited 60 college students and divided them evenly into two groups—The experimental group and the control group. For the experimental group, participants were asked to take part in the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), which was used to arouse psychological stress. Then their contagious yawning was measured with two indicators: The impulse to yawn and the frequency of yawning (recorded by the camera) after seeing yawning videos clips. Moreover, we recorded participants’ HRV with BioPac MP150 (Biopac Systems Inc, USA) and measured their ToM with Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. For the control group, measures and procedures were mostly the same as the TSST, but were far less demanding for participants. Besides, since sleep quality and sleepiness were related to yawning, they were included as confounding variables, and which were measured respectively with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and with the Stanford Sleepiness Scale. The results showed that, compared with those from the control group, participants in the experimental group showed more intense yawning impulse and yawning frequency. Also, as predicted the HRV and ToM did moderate the effects. Specifically, participants with high HRV showed less contagious yawning compared to those with low HRV; participants with high ToM showed more contagious yawning compared to those with low ToM. These findings provided empirical support for the social hypothesis of yawning. In evolution, contagious yawning might serve a survival function by alerting conspecifics to potential threats in the environment. Though this survival function of contagious yawning probably is no longer involved in everyday life of modern humans, contagious yawning itself has survived the flood of time along with other similar phenomena like behavioral mimicry and emotional contagion, probably all thanks to the mirror neuron system which remains significance with evolution by enabling human learning generally.

Komunikasi NonVerbal Dalam Praktik Peradilan Pidana Dengan Kewenangan Melakukan Interpretasi Hukum

&#x0D; Konsekuensi logis dari ketertundukan terhadap civil law system—salah satunya, adalah paper working atau administrative minded. Sebagaimana dicirikan melalui Pasal 75 KUHAP, yaitu setiap tindakan hukum harus dalam bentuk Berita Acara Pemeriksaan (BAP). Maka, suatu BAP merupakan dokumen hukum yang mengandung bahan keterangan bagi Aparat Penegak Hukum (APH) untuk memperoleh deskripsi mengenai peristiwa pidana. Kajian Ilmu Hukum Normatif, pada hakekatnya, fokus kepada kegiatan APH menginterpretasi dokumen hukum untuk dapat memunculkan suatu keputusan hukum. Sehingga, para praktisi dan akademisi hukum melupakan kemampuan APH sebagai manusia biasa yang dapat membangun suatu komunikasi non-verbal dalam kaitannya dengan keputusan-keputusan hukum yang akan dibuatnya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini fokus kepada suatu bentuk komunikasi non-verbal yang memberikan pengaruh pada ranah praxis dari Ilmu Hukum, yaitu dengan mengajukan permasalahannya adalah “bagaimanakah pengaruh suatu komunikasi non-verbal dalam proses peradilan pidana pada Sistem Peradilan Pidana di Indonesia?” Guna menjawab permasalahan tersebut, maka Peneliti menggunakan Metode Penelitian Yuridis Normatif sebagai suatu konsekuensi logis dalam Ilmu Hukum yang berbasis kepada data sekunder melalui studi kepustakaan. Agar melengkapi penelitian ini, maka Peneliti menggunakan beberapa model pendekatan penelitian yaitu pendekatan filsafat, pendekatan semiotik, dan pendekatan hermeneutika, dengan metode analisisnya adalah analisis kualitatif. Adapun hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya upaya memarginalkan interpretasi hukum sebagai dasar membuat keputusan, dengan mengedepankan komunikasi non-verbal dalam praktik peradilan pidana.&#x0D;

Language of Reality and Reality of Language in Francis Bacon’s Philosophy

The most important of Francis Bacon’s argument against Aristotelian syllogistic logic as a main method of investigation was his doctrine of Idols, closely connected to the contemporary Anglican theological views on imperfect human nature. In his criticism of the first notion of human mind, based on mistaken abstraction, Bacon separated “ars inveniendi”, “ars judicandi” and “ars tradendi” and argued for a new nonverbal form of communication, based on “real characters”. Bacon's conventional concept of the universal language, strongly influenced by Aristotle, was not realized by the philosopher himself, but it was of great popularity in both European rationalism and British empiricism in the middle – second half of the 17th century.

Learning to Trust Ourselves

Back to table of contents Previous article Next article First PersonFull AccessLearning to Trust OurselvesEric Yarbrough, M.D.Eric YarbroughSearch for more papers by this author, M.D.Published Online:3 Nov 2020https://doi.org/10.1176/appi.pn.2020.11a26In moments between sessions, when I’ve finished writing my notes, thoughts emerge in my mind questioning my fundamental foundations of knowledge and my abilities in helping those who seek out psychiatric care. More often than would be expected, a distressing theme resonates in the quiet of my office. What on earth am I doing?Residents and medical students often speak of imposter syndrome—the anxiety-producing condition that leaves one feeling inept despite years of experience and learning. Understanding first how little we know opens a path in the hope that the void, filled with defenses of being found out, will be replaced with the knowledge that resides in our books and the wisdom written in the histories of our mentors. Something I don’t think I grasped until recently, however, is the unwavering, devastating feeling that the sense that one knows nothing never really goes away. It seems to persist indefinitely.My memory is a sieve to the information that overwhelms me. There are other psychiatrists I meet who amaze me at how much they can retain in the forefront of their mind. Medicinal facts and psychotherapy pearls for me sometimes feel like taped-up boxes stored away in the dusty corners of my brain. Where does this doubt come from, and does it serve a purpose?In talking with a patient, or for that matter with anyone, I am keenly aware of the multitude of steps that information must pass through for basic verbal communication to occur. Individuals have a thought they want to express—formed through their history, current perceptions, and mood—only to be spoken after lightning-fast revisions edit the final content of their language. My ear, on the receiving end, hears the soundwaves of words in their purist form. Sadly, their fate is to be bastardized as they move through my own history, perceptions, and mood. It all congeals into a state of trying to understand the meaning of what was spoken. Given the nuances of other forms of nonverbal communication, the potential distortions on both ends are endless. Knowing all this, I am told by my common sense that the best way to control any aspect of this confusing equation is to attempt to know myself in the most complete way I can.Years of psychotherapy, including several years of analysis, have opened my mind to my own instincts and behavior—or what I know of them so far. Psychotherapy, above all other forms of training, has helped me to understand most comprehensively how the human brain works, insofar as I have examined my own. The id, ego, object, and self fuel the passion that forms the basis of relationships—our connection with others in the vast empty space of life. It is our relationship with others, and furthermore with ourselves, that often leads to conflict and takes people on a search for relief. My work with patients is not only an attempt to understand them but also to further explore my own self as it changes through time. We are all a work in progress, and if we are observant of our work and appreciate how our own knowledge, complex histories, imperfections, and dreams define us, then we may just have hope to help others in their journey. It is our relationships with patients that are the healing factor.Going back to my office and the in-between sessions when the bugaboo thoughts of my being an imposter pervade me, I reflect back on the many times I’ve had these thoughts before. I think about who I am, where I have been, where I am now, and potentially where am I going. Those different versions of myself make up who I am, along with the integrated objects of my many mentors. When we get lost in the muddy reality of practicing psychiatry, it is relieving to know we are not alone in our struggles to do what is best. We must know ourselves, trust ourselves, and do what we can with what we have. ■Eric Yarbrough, M.D., is chair of APA’s Council on Minority Mental Health and Health Disparities and past president of the Association of LGBTQ Psychiatrists.

Hand-Gesture Recognition Based on EMG and Event-Based Camera Sensor Fusion: A Benchmark in Neuromorphic Computing.

Hand gestures are a form of non-verbal communication used by individuals in conjunction with speech to communicate. Nowadays, with the increasing use of technology, hand-gesture recognition is considered to be an important aspect of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI), allowing the machine to capture and interpret the user's intent and to respond accordingly. The ability to discriminate between human gestures can help in several applications, such as assisted living, healthcare, neuro-rehabilitation, and sports. Recently, multi-sensor data fusion mechanisms have been investigated to improve discrimination accuracy. In this paper, we present a sensor fusion framework that integrates complementary systems: the electromyography (EMG) signal from muscles and visual information. This multi-sensor approach, while improving accuracy and robustness, introduces the disadvantage of high computational cost, which grows exponentially with the number of sensors and the number of measurements. Furthermore, this huge amount of data to process can affect the classification latency which can be crucial in real-case scenarios, such as prosthetic control. Neuromorphic technologies can be deployed to overcome these limitations since they allow real-time processing in parallel at low power consumption. In this paper, we present a fully neuromorphic sensor fusion approach for hand-gesture recognition comprised of an event-based vision sensor and three different neuromorphic processors. In particular, we used the event-based camera, called DVS, and two neuromorphic platforms, Loihi and ODIN + MorphIC. The EMG signals were recorded using traditional electrodes and then converted into spikes to be fed into the chips. We collected a dataset of five gestures from sign language where visual and electromyography signals are synchronized. We compared a fully neuromorphic approach to a baseline implemented using traditional machine learning approaches on a portable GPU system. According to the chip's constraints, we designed specific spiking neural networks (SNNs) for sensor fusion that showed classification accuracy comparable to the software baseline. These neuromorphic alternatives have increased inference time, between 20 and 40%, with respect to the GPU system but have a significantly smaller energy-delay product (EDP) which makes them between 30× and 600× more efficient. The proposed work represents a new benchmark that moves neuromorphic computing toward a real-world scenario.

Manipulation of Web Using Gestures

Gesture recognition is a type of perceptual computing user interface that allows computers to capture and interpret human gestures as commands. Gestures are generally the movement of the hands which is a form of non-verbal communication. We use gestures as input to control devices or applications or websites. By using the gestures, we directly open or manipulate the website for the users. When the user uses the gesture, the system captures the gesture and compares it with the stored gesture data. If the gesture matches the data, then the required website will be manipulated. These gestures are widely helpful for the people who are blind and unable to type. The main objective of the project is to deliver user friendly access to the web contents. The vision based technology of hand gesture recognition is an important part of human-computer interaction (HCI), thus stepping into the path of future and our project is one such kind of stepping stone. Our project really concerns the people who are not able to search contents on the web through text search. We provide an improvisable solution where it paves a way for research and development.

Comprehension and Selective Visual Attention in Play-calling Signage in NCAA Division 1 Football: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Background: The huddle in American college football has been replaced by hand-signals, play-cards, and other forms of nonverbal communication to deliver information from the sidelines to the field. These communication methods serve a dual-purpose of capturing the student-athletes’ attention while perplexing the opposition. Objective: The purpose of this study is to apply cognitive engineering concepts toward the improvement of signage and play-calling such that coaches can more effectively transmit information to players on the field during competitions. Methods: This comprehensive literature review investigates strategies for successful visual play-calling systems in sports communication. Collaboration occurred with a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 football coaching staff to understand communication processes on field. Existing literature related to visual language processing, selective attention, and signal comprehension were compiled for recommendations. Results: Research findings suggest positive correlations between speed, clarity, and simplicity of signage in addition to effective sideline communication. The results of this review can be used to develop guidelines that increase the accuracy and speed of play-calling during games, such as clearly designed imagery and simplified play calls; coaches may establish strategies that are consistently understood by student-athletes. Conclusion: In addition to the findings, this study also identifies visual communication methods and mediums that can be used in any sport or work field where transmitting and comprehending information from a distance is critical for task completion.

Hand Gesture Recognition Based on Computer Vision: A Review of Techniques.

Hand gestures are a form of nonverbal communication that can be used in several fields such as communication between deaf-mute people, robot control, human–computer interaction (HCI), home automation and medical applications. Research papers based on hand gestures have adopted many different techniques, including those based on instrumented sensor technology and computer vision. In other words, the hand sign can be classified under many headings, such as posture and gesture, as well as dynamic and static, or a hybrid of the two. This paper focuses on a review of the literature on hand gesture techniques and introduces their merits and limitations under different circumstances. In addition, it tabulates the performance of these methods, focusing on computer vision techniques that deal with the similarity and difference points, technique of hand segmentation used, classification algorithms and drawbacks, number and types of gestures, dataset used, detection range (distance) and type of camera used. This paper is a thorough general overview of hand gesture methods with a brief discussion of some possible applications.

Effectiveness of Baby Spa and Music Therapy on Growth and Development of Baby

Providing a stimulus given shortly after the baby is born gives a very important effect for the development of children. In the development of a child, stimulation is a basic need and also plays an important role to develop. Dewanti,1 revealed that baby spa is one form of nonverbal communication that can be done by the mother. This spa treatment is very beneficial for baby’s health and development. Infants who have been treated with the spa will look fresh, healthy, vibrant and growth and development faster than infants who never did at all spa. In addition to the baby spa, music therapy is also one therapy that can stimulate thinking, improve concentration and memory, and can improve the cognitive development of infants and children. Music therapy is an effort to improve physical and mental quality with sound stimuli consisting of melodies, rhythms, harmony, timbre, shapes and styles that are organized in such a way as to create useful music for mental and mental health2. This study was conducted to determine the development of infants through baby spa and music therapy, and useful as a follow-up to improve the growth and development of the baby so that the maximum. The population in this study is 6-12 months old baby with sampling using quota sampling technique with a sample of 60 babies. Quantitative quasi-experimental research method with the only posttest with control group design approach, where in the case group was given continuous intervention for 16 days while in the control group only 1 interval was given at the beginning of the meeting, at the end of the study the two groups will be measured the level and compared the results, with the General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM RM) test. The result showed that the average of the first measurement scores in the lower case group was slightly lower than the control group that was 8.97 (SD = 0.928), while the mean score on the second measurement and the third measurement in the case group was higher than the control group 9.53 (SD = 0.776) and 9.80 (SD = 0.484). The result of the analysis with multivariate approach showed significant difference KPSP score for growth and development on the third level of measurement (p-value &lt;0,007). Multivariate analysis can explain the variation of growth and development variable amount of 16,1%, there was a significant effect difference between case group and control group in improving growth and development score (p-value &lt;0.000) amount of 44.7%.

Moda: sua relação com o design de moda e a importância do ensino

A moda é um fenômeno social e cultural que expressa os valores da sociedade em usos, hábitos e costumes, em um determinado tempo, que integra o simples uso as roupas no dia a dia a um complexo contexto político e sociológico. O ato de vestir é uma forma de comunicação não verbal e a roupa assume o importante papel de transmitir significados relevantes de seu emissor e também de situá-lo em seu universo de pertencimento. Neste artigo, o principal objetivo é evidenciar o conceito de moda e a relação com o design de moda e o ensino. A metodologia está embasada no estado da arte, na perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa e na abordagem descritiva a partir de três obras principais, dos autores Barthes, Bourdieu e Lipovetsky. Pôde-se inferir que a partir da moda como um sistema pautado em variações contínuas e no mundo contemporâneo e globalizado, o designer de moda é, constantemente, desafiado por novas tendências de materiais e de mercado e por novos conceitos sociais e de comportamento.

Investigation of the effects of veterinarians' attire on ratings of trust, confidence, and comfort in a sample of pet owners in Canada.

To examine companion animal owners' perceptions of appropriate veterinarian attire and investigate potential associations between a veterinarian's attire and clients' ratings of trust in, confidence in, and comfort with a veterinarian. 449 pet owners. Participants were randomly assigned to complete a questionnaire containing photos of a male or female model veterinarian photographed in 8 attire types (formal attire, white dress shirt with black pants, white casual shirt with khaki pants, surgical scrubs, white casual shirt with jeans, surgical scrub top with jeans, surgical scrub top with khaki pants, and white laboratory coat with khaki pants). Participants were asked to rate their trust in, confidence in, and comfort with the pictured individual on a response scale of 1 (low) to 7 (high), rank photos according to their preferences for attire, and provide input on the importance of attire and other appearance-related subjects. Attire and gender of photographed individual and participant demographics were investigated for associations with trust, confidence, and comfort scores. Most (317/445 [71%]) respondents indicated veterinarians' attire was important. Attire type was significantly associated with respondents' trust, confidence, and comfort scores. Model veterinarian gender and participant education level were also associated with trust and comfort scores. Veterinarians' attire is a form of nonverbal communication that is likely to inform clients' first impressions and may influence clients' trust in, confidence in, and comfort with a veterinarian. Veterinary personnel and veterinary management should consider how attire and general appearance represent staff members or their practice.

Being Vulnerable: A Qualitative Inquiry of Physician Touch in Medical Education

Effective nonverbal communication is associated with empathic behavior and improved patient outcomes. Touch, as a form of nonverbal communication, is relatively unexplored in medical education. This study sought to gain in-depth insights into physicians' experiences communicating with touch and to examine how these insights could inform communication skills curricula. Collaborative inquiry, a form of action research, was used. Six experienced physician-educators from the University of Calgary met 8 times between 2015 and 2018 to critically reflect on their experiences of touch in clinical practice, teaching, and learning. Data comprised meeting transcripts, individual narrative accounts, and digital recordings of role-plays. Interpretative phenomenology, the study of lived experience, guided analysis. Two themes were identified-touch as presence and touch as risk. Participants used touch to demonstrate presence and a shared humanity with patients, to express "being with" a patient. Risk was not associated with the physical experience of touch but, rather, with its social meaning, interpreted through gender, culture, relationships, and context. Individual experiences were open to many interpretations. Participants expressed tension between their personal experience communicating with touch to express empathy and formal curricular structures. Reflection, role-modeling, and clinical debriefs were suggested as ways to encourage situational awareness and sensitive use of touch. Touch is a powerful means to communicate with patients but is highly subjective. Rather than avoiding touch for fear of misinterpretation, encouraging dialogue about its complexity could promote a more balanced understanding of touch and its potential to convey empathy and help physicians more effectively manage risk when using touch.

A Study of non-verbal communication in the Nigerian (Yorùbá) novels: The side code

Non-verbal communication is a very important aspect of communication which plays a very crucial role in interpersonal relationship. Its role in the accentuation of verbal communication cannot be overemphasized. Existing literature has not given enough attention to side code as a form of non-verbal communication in the Yorùbá novel. This study fills the gap as it examines side codes, the contexts in which they occur in Yoruba novels with a view to establishing its communicative value. The study adopts semiotic theories of Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce. Four Yorùbá novels: Ìrìnkèrindò Nínú Igbó Elégbèje and Ògbójú Ọdẹ Nínú Igbó Irúnmo̩lẹ̀. By D.O. Fagunwa, Ojú rí́́́ by Kola Oni and Ṣaworoidẹ by Akinwumi Isola were purposively selected because they have elements of side code and were subjected to semiotic and textual analyses. Side code helps in cultural determinism in the codification of disaster, chaos, lopsidedness, disappointment, success, identification of prince and complementarity.&#x0D; Key Words: Side code; Semiotics; Purposive sample; Yorùbá novels

P177 Art in dialogue: art and voice in an ANCA-associated vasculitis workshop

Abstract Background Using art to facilitate 'expressions of illness experience’ can provide new ways of helping healthcare professionals and others gain a deeper understanding of the impact that illnesses can have. Using art as a non-verbal communication tool may provide a voice for people with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), as well as a space for their carer to reveal lived experiences of AAV. This can open communication channels in the patient-clinician or carer/support interview. Furthermore, art could be used as a coping mechanism for rare diseases such as AAV and could have therapeutic effects. Methods A workshop for people with AAV was held for participants to express their individual AAV using digital art, as either a patient, a carer or healthcare provider (n = 6). We employed a personal narrative inquiry and a digital art exercise focusing on patients', carer's and the clinicians' perceptions on what pain, fatigue, change and support look like in colour and shape. Results As an artist, the first author presented her own dialogue and agency of being an artist, patient and retired rheumatologist. We invited a collective understanding of ‘how people make sense of key life experiences and what it means to them’. For all participants, using a digital art workshop to express the patient journey and experiences with pain and fatigue was a new experience. The participants used different types of expressions in their art. Some individuals used art for storytelling, some used more abstract art with different digital brush techniques to express their feelings of pain, fear or hope. The colour theme was discussed with the participants. Red/orange was intuitively used to represent pain whereas green/blue was used to represent periods of calm. People who said they were less expressive could also use this form of non-verbal communication. Participants expressed their feelings and experiences and highlighted when painting with digital art that using the finger was easier and less tiring than holding a brush. Others found that while concentrating on creating the picture, they found some relief from illness-related symptoms. Conclusion This workshop used colour and shape to portray different energies surrounding adaptations and transitions that AAV had for patients, carer and clinicians. Digital art helped to express illnesses and emotions that AAV patients or carers experience and could be used as a method for coping. It may open up channels in the patient-clinician or carer/support dialogue and break communication barriers in healthcare encounters, leading to better monitoring results. Art encourages self-reflection, and can influence, inspire and enable individuals. It helps us to see more of the face behind the illness, not just the person with an illness. Disclosures S.

Caminhos para uma Hermenêutica da Arquitetura

Embora a hermenêutica seja tradicionalmente conhecida como uma metodologia de interpretação textual, a hermenêutica moderna engloba questões que envolvem não somente o texto escrito, mas o processo interpretativo como um todo, incluindo formas verbais e não verbais de comunicação. Uma obra arquitetônica, cuja própria constituição apresenta interpretações históricas e culturais, não pode ser entendida como um objeto isolado do mundo e nem se limitar a uma interpretação individual. Este artigo pretende então analisar os conceitos da “hermenêutica da arquitetura sagrada” concebida por Lindsay Jones, procurando identificar as potencialidades desta teoria para a compreensão dos significados de obras arquitetônicas. Deduz-se que abordagem hermenêutica do autor ao focar nas interações e experiências do usuário com a edificação, e opor-se à apreensão exclusivamente estética da arquitetura, apresenta uma nova forma de interpretar os significados das edificações e fornece ferramentas importantes para assegurar o caráter democrático e heterogêneo da interpretação hermenêutica.
