Daseinssemiosis: a New Look at the Phenomenology of Theodor Lipps
Tóm tắt
The present article aims at restoring the importance of Theodor Lipps’ phenomenology and its concrete implications for the study of human phenomena. Drawing out the major axioms of Lipps ego-logical phenomenology, it is the interrelation of ideal I (geistiges Ich), the activity of that I, the making of a Gegenstand to be externalized in the outer world that flows in the creation of a practical model that allows researchers and practitioners to work carefully at the border of a particular phenomenon. The Lippsian model is applied to the study of complex meaning making at the border of inner and outer world such as the semicolon tattoo project as well as the human conduct of German authors such as Erich Kästner and Stefan Zweig during WW-II. These egophenomenological examples show how humans are dealing with tension arising at the border of externalized meaning making leading into the creation of semiotic material to circumvent conflicts in life < > death or being < > non-being. Being caught between heavy affective polarities, human beings create signs of various kinds for themselves and others so that they can handle the constant liminality of being. It is that liminal state of “being thrown” into tensions and conflicts of living that allows for the development of a new study arena that could be called Daseinssemiosis grounded in Lippsian phenomenology. The daseinssemiotic tools presented in the article mirror the particular Meinsein (for-me-ness) of a person feeding into the Umwelt for other persons to internalize, co-construct, develop, and externalize again. These semiotic tools vary from tattoos to volumes of poems being a catalyst for the building of culture/community. The power of these deeply affective signs lies in the possibility of creating connection between human beings that goes beyond physical contact.
