• Identify what is in the picture?

  Data Analysis by Van Manen

  
• The discipline of phenomenology may be defined initially as the study of structures of experience, or consciousness.
• Phenomenology is the study of phenomena: appearances of things, or things as they appear in our experience, or the ways we experience things, thus the meanings things have in our experience.
• Phenomenology studies conscious experience as experienced from the subjective or first-person point of view.
• Phenomenology as field of philosophy is then to be distinguished from, and related to, the other main areas of philosophy: ontology (the study of being or what is), epistemology (the study of knowledge), logic (the study of valid reasoning), ethics (the study of right and wrong action), and others.
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He developed the Descriptive Phenomenology, also known as transcendental phenomenology?

  Edmund Husserl
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  The relation between consciousness and 'objects of knowledge' with an emphasis on the objects the things themselves?

  Edmund Husserl
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  One of the key aspects of his work was his identification of the 'life world.'?

  Edmund Husserl
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He developed the Existential Phenomenology or Hermeneutic Phenomenology?

  Martin Heidegger
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He suggested that a philosopher cannot investigate things in their appearing" to identify their essences while remaining neutral or detached from the things that it is not possible to bracket off the way one defines the essence of a phenomenon?

  Martin Heidegger
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  The use of language and the interpretation of a person's "meaning-making"?

  Martin Heidegger
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He developed the Phenomenology of Perception?

  Maurice Merleau-Ponty
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He defined phenomenology as "the study of essences, including the essence of perception and consciousness."?

  Maurice Merleau Ponty
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  Phenomenology is a method of describing the nature of our perceptual contact with the world. People cannot separate themselves from their perceptions of the world.?

  Maurice Merleau Ponty
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He developed Interpretive Phenomenology (now called Gadamerian Hermeneutics).?

  Hans-Georg Gadamer
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He concentrated on how language reveals being, with the philosophical stance that all understanding is phenomenological and that understanding can only come about through language?

  Hans Georg Gadamer
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  He saw language, understanding, and interpretation as inextricably linked. For him, language is not independent of the world: the world is represented by speech, and language is only real because the world is represented within it?

  Hans Georg Gadamer
• Identify who is the proponent of Hermeneutic Phenomenology being referred to:

  His approach follows Gadamer's, as his philosophy is that language reveals being within some historical and cultural contexts, understood by participant and researcher, and through language, such as the language of the interview?

  Max Vanen
• Hermeneutic phenomenology is used to interpret the meaning of lived experiences and communicate the interpretation of text and symbol
• Phenomenology becomes hermeneutical when its method is taken to be interpretive (rather than purely descriptive as in transcendental phenomenology).
• In Hermeneutical Phenomenology lived experience is the way that a person experiences and understands his/her world as real and meaningful.
• In Hermeneutical Phenomenology Lived meanings describe those aspects of a situation as experienced by the person in it.
• Language and Meaning

  What is central to Heidegger's view was the use of language and the interpretation of a person's "meaning-making," their attribution of meaning to phenomena.
• Language and Meaning

  Interpretation is seen as critical to this process of understanding. Claiming that to be human was to interpret, he stressed that every encounter involves an interpretation influenced by an individual's background or historically.
• Language and Meaning

  He also believed that language today is worn out because of the overuse of important words. Meaning is that which is represented by a text; it is what the author meant by his use of a particular sign sequence; it is what the signs represent.
• Being in the World

  Heidegger's main interest was to raise the issue of being, that is, to make sense of our capacity to make sense of things.
• The hyphenated phrase "being-in-the-world" represents the unitary phenomenon of our relationship with the world.
• Being in the World

  To be is to be part of the world and to be worldly. Being is not an entity in itself, but every entity has its being, which in every case is our own.
• Being in the World

  Therefore, to understand another person, we must first understand ourselves.
• Reflexivity is a person's reflection upon or examination of a situation or experience.
• Reflexivity

  It can help in interpreting the meanings discovered or add value to those types of interpretation.\
• Reflexivity describes the process in which researchers are conscious of and reflective about how their questions, methods, and subject position might impact on the data or the psychological knowledge produced in a study
• Isolating Themes

  Van Manen noted that to apply the hermeneutic phenomenology, a researcher has to use the skill of reading texts, such as the text of transcripts, that is, the spoken accounts of personal experience.
• Isolating Themes

  Any application of hermeneutic phenomenology requires the examination of the text to reflect on its content to discover something telling, something meaningful, something thematic.
• Isolating Themes

  By having isolated phenomenal themes, rewriting the theme while interpreting the meaning of the phenomenon or lived experience is possible.
• The hermeneutical circle is one of the most fundamental and contentious doctrines of hermeneutics.
• Hermeneutical Circle is the idea that an individual always understands or interprets out of some presuppositions.
• In Hermeneutical Circle its been emphasized that circle is that of the whole and its parts: we can only understand the parts of a text, or anybody of meaning, out of a general idea of its entirety, yet we can only gain this understanding of the whole by understanding its parts.
• In Hermeneutical Circle the basic idea is the same: there is no such thing as an understanding without presuppositions
