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

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Mis-Movements : The Aesthetics of Gesture in Samuel Beckett's Drama

   Author : Charlotta Palmstierna Einarsson; Ishrat Lindblad; Matthew Feldman; Steven Connor; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Beckett; phenomenology; aesthetics; movements; perception; English; engelska;

   Abstract : This study explores Beckett’s use of physical movements in his plays as part of a strategy to escape the limits of semantic meaning and as an instrument of artistic expression. In a sense, the use of physical movements constitutes a phenomenological, heuristic ‘solution’ to the problem of presentation and representation that Beckett explicitly addresses already in the early 1930s.

   Author : Pavel Karpashevich; Kristina Höök; Pedro Sanches; Jordi Solsona; Mark Blythe; KTH; []

   Abstract : There is currently a wave of research and development of novel on-body technologies and materials, including shape-changing technologies to be worn on or used close to the body. Traditional interaction design methods and interface models are not always a good fit for designing meaningful interactions with these technologies as they primarily interact with our somatic selves—not our language-oriented, symbol-processing ways of being in the world.
