    Sammanfattning : The present investigation discusses the phenomenological concept of the phenomenon through an interpretation of the meaning of the negativity of the phenomenon in the philosophical works of Martin Heidegger, Jan Patočka and Eugen Fink. This negativity is thematised in terms of a loss and a privation that leads to a description of the appearing of the phenomenon as a sublime event, which exposes existence to an absence of meaning.

  4. 4. A steady flameless light : the phenomenology of realness in Dorothy Canfield Fisher's The brimming cup, Her son's wife and Rough-hewn

    Författare :Annika Ljung-Baruth; Hans Löfgren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Dorothy Canfield Fisher; Literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates the way in which experience comes to givenness in three novels by the early twentieth century American writer Dorothy Canfield Fisher (1879-1958). By utilizing a model of affectivity set up by the French phenomenologist Michel Henry, the investigation uncovers unthematized strata in The Brimming Cup (1921), Rough-Hewn (1922), and Her Son’s Wife (1926) in which subjectivity is phenomenalized as auto-affective and immanent.

  5. 5. "Unsought, presented so easily" : A Phenomenological Study of Awe in the Poetical Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins

    Författare :Elisabet Dellming; Paul Schreiber; Kevin Hart; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Gerard Manley Hopkins; poetry; awe; experience; phenomenol-ogy; the sensuous; metaphor; époche; invisible life; revelation; eschatology; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : As a phenomenon, awe is not reducible to any combination of distinct elements such as wonder, fear or reverence, but combines all of these together with surprise or even anguish. The metaphors with which awe can be described therefore never fully define what it feels like to be affected by awe: awe is motion, elevation, lightness, and flight. LÄS MER
