phenomenology: September 2005 Archives
Because part of my funding for the EuroParl interpreter research came from anthropology, there's been a big push to do ethnography. I've really only collected discourse at this stage, which I will look at through a critical discourse lens because I'm interested in language hierarchies and linguistic inequality. There is plenty of evidence of these things in EuroParl interpreters' talk about their work and working conditions. Rather than deduction (coming up with an hypothesis based on theory) or induction (making what I find fit some theory), abduction is about invention. It requires applying imagination to generate theory, to come up with categories based on the combination of characteristics discovered (the expected and the unexpected). My next task is to distinguish between what Agar calls rich points (the surprises) and those things that meshed with my expectations.
history of the term, originally referred to the "truth-evaluable" and was intended "to re-introduce belief and desire into psychology".
Here's a chart Tom Atlee has put together that "shows a big reason to prioritize developing our macro-scale (societal and global) collective intelligence and wisdom." This is necessary, he argues (and I agree), because our individual intelligences are insufficient to solve the problems our social structure instigates.
Yep. Left Carolyn’s (with a pang, I confess) :-( and hustled all my stuff to Florence. This room is going to work out well, been getting it together this morning and I like how it feels. :-) Meanwhile, school officially begins for me tomorrow: “off to the races” as if I haven’t already been!
My overall orientation to time is different, though, as well as my awareness(es)…. it’s kinda cool to witness my own development leap. :-) Will it last? We shall see. I've been dreaming like crazy - all kinds of relationship stuff, theory, even about the convergence of themes in the blog (!) - looking for a link, I found this on babies' consciousness: it's pretty darn cool.
