Intercultural Phenomenology of Photographing
Gurjanov, Filip ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Coriando, Paola Ludovica (referee) ; Tani, Toru (referee)
English In this dissertation I thematise the act of photographing with a special emphasis on the seeing, which constitutes this act. In order to cast a light on this subject, I refer to the early philosophy of Martin Heidegger as well as to the Japanese philosopher Kitarō Nishida. Having Heidegger's 'Pragmatism' and 'Apriorism' as my point of departure, I first develop a hypothesis of a tension be- tween the passivity and the activity of photographic vision. On the one hand, photographers depend on already existing entities and contexts, in which entities appear to us 'first and foremost'; on the other hand, photographers possess an 'a priori knowledge' regarding framing, which helps them to activate photographic vision in the right moment and under the right circumstances. Alongside the idea of a modification of sight from a practical interest (,Umsicht!) to the theoretical one (,Hinse- hen'), I also discuss photographic seeing with reference to Heidegger's idea of the phenomenologi- cal reduction. Before photographers use their cameras to prepare for the actual shot, they modify their understanding of the being of the encountered entities, i. e. they perform a phenomenological- photographic reduction. The first part of the dissertation ends with the inclusion of the theme of au- thenticity,...

Phenomenology of the Mediation in Husserl and Fink
Ikeda, Yusuke ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Tani, Toru (referee)
Title: Phenomenology of mediality in Husserl and Fink - Fink's implicit criticism on Husserl's transcendental Phenomenology in "Presentification and Image" and "VI. Cartesian Meditation" Summary: Our study is devoted to the task of showing, on the basis of Fink's early works, that Fink's account of transcendental phenomenology could be considered not as a simple elaboration of Husserlian projects, but as its prolongation which presupposes Fink's internal criticisms on Husserl's central conceptions. Fink's criticism could be summarized in the following two points: a.) Husserl's account of the transcendental constitution and theory of evidence is operated by a naïve theoretical assumption of the priority of certain modes of the experiencing (for example, perception) to other modes (for example, consciousness of image, phantasy). According to the early Fink, both modes of experiencing are mediated into each other. b.) Husserl's method of transcendental phenomenological reduction lacks the ontological reflection on the status of the transcendental subjectivity, because Husserl tends to ignore the very question of Fink's VI. Cartesian meditation -what makes possible the phenomenologising itself, what is the medium of phenomenologising? Our reflection on Fink's criticisms makes possible a new philosophical...
