Resilience and Responsiveness: Alfred's Schutz's Finite Provinces of Meaning by

Description: Resilience and Responsiveness by Michael Barber This book extends Alfred Schutzs "On Multiple Realities" by describing the provinces of meaning of play, music, religious ritual, and African-American folkloric humor. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book extends Alfred Schutzs "On Multiple Realities" by describing the provinces of meaning of play, music, religious ritual, and African-American folkloric humor. Throughout these provinces, the author traces two themes: resilience and responsiveness. In resilience, individuals or communities run up against obstacles, imposed relevances, which they come to terms with, or give meaning to (in phenomenological parlance), by modifying, evading, overcoming, or accepting them. Responsiveness emerges from Schutzs idea of making music together, which the author takes further by analyzing the mimetic encounter with the other and the asymmetries in listening to music, and, especially, by showing how the features of the cognitive style of music as a province of meaning affect sociality, disposing us to be more vulnerable and attentive to each others non-conceptual, musical meanings. This text appeals to upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students as well as to faculty in philosophy.
