Re: [xmca] Perezhivanie and Dewey's concept of experience

What about this one Larry?

       ‘Experience’ is what James called a double-barreled word. Like
       its congeners, life and history, it includes /what/ men do and
       suffer, /what/ they strive for, love, believe and endure, and
       /how/ men act and are acted upon, the ways in which they do and
       suffer, desire and enjoy, see, believe, imagine – in short,
       processes of /experiencing/. ... It is ‘double-barreled’ in that
       it recognizes in its primary integrity no division between act
       and material, subject and object, but contains them both in an
       unanalyzed totality. ‘Thing’ and ‘thought’, as James says in the
       same connection, are single-barreled; they refer to products
       discriminated by reflection out of primary experience (1929 PJD:
       256-7).

Mike,

On page 12 of the  article on Dewey's notionotion of experience the theme
of experience AS
"life overcomes and transforms factors of opposition to achieve higher
significance. Harmony and equilibrium are the resullts not of mechanical
processes but of RHYTHMIC resolution of tension.  The rhythmic ALTERNATION
within the live creature BETWEEN unity and disunity becomes CONSCIOUS in
humans.  Emotion signifies BREAKS in experience which are then resolved
through reflective action"

I thought this may be a way in to *start* the conversational dialogue  with
perezhivanie.

Michael, Mike:
One more fragment on the  definition of sentipensante:

Sentipensante pedagogy offers a transformative vision of education that
emphasizes the harmonic, complementary relationship between the sentir of
intuition and the pensar of intellect and scholarship; between teaching and
learning; between formal knowledge and wisdom; and between Western and
non-Western ways of knowing.

Seems to have some family resemblance to this theme of experience

Mike,
Thanks for this.
Stanford Pub is a wonderful resource.  I seem to download an author
approximately once a month. For $10 you support them and get the articles
sent in a PDF format.

Michael , here is a link [in Spanish] to a youtube video of Orlando
Fals-Borda discussing his understanding of experience from the heart.
If you have any articles in English which you can share, this seems to be
exploring experience within "felt awareness".
Seems to be a fascinating expansion of the understanding of experience.

Thanks, Michael and Mike

Thanks Larry. Viva la differencia. Here is a quick summary of Dewey on
experience. Note that his ideas are considered unusual by the author.
That
Stanford pub seems very useful.

Michael,
I also found this site for Orlando Fals Borda.
http://comm-org.wisc.edu/si/falsborda.htm
If it is off topic please ignore. However, it is where my curiosity was
called or invited.

Perhaps another avenue to explore might be Ortega y Gasset's ideas on 
experience (which is probably in some ways reflective of Dewey)

which was

appropriated by Orlando Fals Borda in the concept of vivencia -

which is

very compelling - and became an important part of Fals-Borda's

conception

of Participatory Action Research.  This might then tie back to the

earlier

issue on PAR.

Thanks Beth--

I ask, firstly, because there appear quite clear overlaps as you and

Monica

have been exploring.

Secondly, we have two submissions to MCA on perezhivanie that are

very

focused on Russian authors. Over and above competing
exegeses of the ideas of Vygotsky, Puyzerei, etc., it seems important

that

we figure out ways to explore different ways of thinking about the

general

category of "experience" that will be
productive of new empirical and theoretical investigation.

we write about the relation between play and learning and Dewey's

the relation between art and science in Art and Experience.  I am

ask why

ask now? Beth

Has anyone written on uses of the term perezhivanie as used in the
cultural
historical tradition and Dewey's concept of experience?

references?
