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



I don't understand your allusion to temporality, Mike.

Those are both terrifically useful passages to think with, Larry and Andy. Thanks. I (so to speak) really resonate to the notion of rhythmicity and movement in the first passage, and the "doublebarrel" metaphor in the second. I think for the latter that
barrel is perhaps unfortunate in so far as "two-way" /temporality/
is backgrounded.

thanks!

    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

                            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.
