Re: [xmca] ISCAR (review) Perezhivanie + vivencia



Hi Andy

Your comment below is a very helpful way to focus the conversation.

I understand from Gloria Quninones that the Spanish word /una vivencia/ has
the same meaning as the Russian /perezhivanie /and my German friends tell me
that /ein Erlebnis/ has the same meaning in German. The problem for English
speakers is that Russian, Spanish and German has the word but English does
not. The term is usually translated as "a lived experience" (though I like
"an adventure"). Of course a lived experience is also a self-regulated
psyhological system of personality, but to describe it so would seem to me
to be misleading. If I am not mistaken /perezhivania /is an event or action,
whereas "personality" and "system" do not carry the temporal connotation of
event or action, and is both subjective and objective."

I would like to take a suggestion from Tony in using the heuristic between
in*formation and info*mation can also be applied to e*motion.  E*motion is
an action like an adventure or wayfaring withIN the world. From your
relflections the terms "perezhivana", "una vivencia", "ein erlebnis",  are
pointing to a family resemblance to the term "e*motion" as

 "oriented movement withIN an adventure"

and the concept of "movement" becomes the KEY to lived experience.

Then we must still explore the relational patterns that connect [and
possibly also differentiate] "e*motion" withIN "systems" such as the system
of personality.

2nd point
The article Volker attached brought in Charles Taylor's vertical and
horizontal dimensions as a heuristic.  The vertical dimension moves between
passive and active poles of situated agency. He suggests in modernity we are
oriented to the "self" actualization or "will" as "freedom"  However the
horizontal dimension with poles pointing to COMMITMENTS as oriented towards
the "self" or oriented towards "alterity" is an ETHICAL orientation that the
situated agent must engage with. In other words the person as agent can
make  "conclusive" moves in the adventure of lived experience TOWARDS either
"self" development  or "development of "alterity"  From Taylor's perspective
this is where the acts of "freedom" withIN adventures can be explored.
I recognize that Taylor is categorized within some discussions as promoting
a "liberal" value and this may have to be critiqued. However Taylor's
heuristic grid coordinates is one possible way to consider "actions" withIN
"adventures".  E*motion is central to consider in this adventure or
wayfaring and e*motion is central to ORIENTING within this adventure.

Orientation within adventures is a possible bridge to open conversations
between cultural historical and "intersubjective" phenomenological accounts.

This perspective of "intersubjectivity" withIN lived experience is in danger
of becoming reified as MERELY social interaction in the now moments
[synchronic] and requires the theory of cultural-historical awareness to
situate intersubjective e*motion within an historical/developmental
account. [diachronic]

I'm attaching a 3 page article by Rene van der Veer continuing this topic.
