Between constitution and interpretation: Identity as history
2015
The paper focuses on the possibilities to constitute meaning in the „borderline- situations“ (Jaspers) of the social sphere, such as the loss of validity of orientation within and experience of reality in the socially shared structures of the lifeworld. On the one hand, I will refer to A. Schutz’ and his constitution-analysis of foreign understanding and of shared meaning; on the other hand, I bear onto I.

Narrative structures prove to be the intersubjective ground for comprehensive action insofar narration mediates between past and future, and thus gives way to appresent the non-present in collective actions. Further on, narratively we are bound to life world and are indebted to it with an ethical strain of our Self as we gain our identity exactly by narration.

Hermeneutics of transcendence analyse the experience of borders and limitations – not starting with an interrogation of constitutive grounds of shared social meaning but with structures to regain meaning in the socio-pathological structures of life excluding a Self from horizons of shared meanin…
