Theorizing the Institutional Tortfeasor
Authors: Hall Margaret Isabel
Published: January 2019

Institutions are entities (rather than collections of individuals), with distinct characters andidentities that are most aptly explained in terms of institutional culture. The perceptions andactions of individuals embedded in a particular institutional culture are, to a significantextent, caused by that culture. This understanding of the relationship between institutionalculture and institutional actors has been incisively theorized in other disciplines, but isvirtually absent from tort law. As institutions have become increasingly important playersin social life, in comparison with individuals acting qua individuals, the absence of a robusttheory of the institutional tortfeasor has marginalized tort law and will continue to doso. Coherent theorization of an institutional tortfeasor requires the translation of ideasabout organizational culture and identity into the language of tort doctrine.
Regulating Hydraulic Fracturing: Regulatory Recourse for Subsurface Communication
Authors: Howard Kimberly
Published: January 2019

This article provides an overview of the legal framework for the regulation of hydraulic fracturing in Alberta and examines the potential regulatory options and liability for subsurface reservoir communication caused by hydraulic fracturing activities. Specifically, this article examines the jurisdiction of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER or the Board) to: (1) order that operations be shut-in or suspended due to subsurface reservoir communication; (2) impose obligations on industry to provide notification of hydraulic fracturing activities, including subsurface reservoir communication; (3) order mandatory commingling orders; (4) encourage production sharing agreements; and (5) impose testing, monitoring, production controls, and reporting obligations.With the widespread use of multistage horizontal hydraulic fracturing, disputes related to subsurface communication will continue to be raised with the AER and in the courts. Thus far, the AER has taken a risk management approach through monitoring and testing requirements. Generally, the AER has permitted development to occur by endorsing an approach which relies on the known and inevitable consequences of mining and recovering the minerals. This approach has been justified by the AER on the basis that any production of another party’s minerals does not result in irreparable harm. The harm or damage caused can be identified, quantified, and compensation paid.
Sole Risk Provisions in Joint Operating Agreements for Unconventional Oil and Gas Development
Authors: Desbarats Rob , Todesco Jay , Royer Kate
Published: January 2019

This article discusses independent operations in the context of unconventional oil and gas resources. It considers how the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL) and the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators (AIPN) have reacted to this. It provides a detailed analysis of the differences between the 2015 CAPL Operating Procedures and the 2014 AIPN Unconventional Resources Operating Agreement. Particular focus is given to permissible independent operations under each agreement, the timing of those independent operations, and the penalties given to a non-participating party. The article concludes by discussing the importance of drafting customized sole risk provisions in some situations, given that unconventional resource development often varies from project to project.

Injecting Deleterious Substances into Pipelines: A Case Study of a Contamination Incident
Authors: McCunn-Miller Patricia A.
Published: January 2019

This article describes an alternative dispute resolution method and the specific implementation of this procedure in a recent oil pipeline contamination incident. The event, known as the "Rangeland Incident," involved the sale of contaminated crude oil by Alberta oil producers to Montana refiners. The dispute resolution method described in this article involves two phases. The first phase involves the settlement of grievances between the Alberta suppliers and the Montana refiners, whereas the second addresses liability among the parties allegedly responsible for the oil contamination. Included in the article is a model Contribution Agreement form that is the basis of the described resolution method.
Indigenous Mental Health: Imagining a Future Where Action Follows Obligations and Promises
Authors: MacIntosh Constance
Published: January 2019

This article considers what it would mean if Canada fulfilled select existing commitments and obligations concerning the mental health needs of Indigenous peoples, as identified through current programs and recent jurisprudence: that is, where would we be if Canada carried through on existing commitments? After identifying the role of law in perpetuating poor mental well-being, it assesses programs for First Nations and Inuit peoples and determines they are unlikely to be effective without operational changes and responsive funding. The article then turns to the situation of Metis and non-status First Nations and the implications of Daniels v. Canada for changing the status quo – both by requiring appropriate mental health supports, and by dismantling the racist legal logic that has long undermined the mental well-being of non-status First Nations and Metis persons, by positioning them as not counting as true Indigenous peoples. The article concludes that merely fulfilling current state obligations could bring considerable short-term gains, and some long-term gains, for the mental well-being of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
The Impact of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Canadian Jurisprudence: The Case of Leobrera v. Canada
Authors: Malhotra Ravi
Published: January 2019

This article traces the historical and continuing exclusion of people with disabilities found in Canada’s immigration law and policy. It highlights how an immigration policy focused on economic growth and avoiding health care costs can have devastating effects on individuals and the families of children with disabilities. Using the case of Leobrera v. Canada as a case study, the author looks to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as an international instrument which could help change Canada’s exclusionary policies.
Donor Anonymity in Canada: Assessing the Obstacles to Openness and Considering a Way Forward
Authors: Gruben Vanessa , Cameron Angela
Published: January 2019

This article discusses donor anonymity in Canada and the need for law reform in this area. Currently, assisted reproduction is regulated by both the provincial and federal governments, meaning this area is regulated in a piecemeal fashion. Disclosure of donor identifying and non-identifying factors is restricted to limited information, utilized only to keep statistical records. Due to the law limiting identifying information, donor-conceived persons struggle in their attempt to discover their genetic origins. Further, provincial family law does not recognize third party reproduction, which leaves modern family units unprotected. A definition of openness in gamete donation is given in Part II. Part III addresses the law-making and assisted reproduction difficulties arising from the division of powers. Part IV analyzes the potential impact of federal prohibitions on the purchase of sperm and eggs and whether disclosing a donor’s identity will negatively impact gamete supply in Canada. The final two sections discuss the failure of provinces to enact family laws which protect the parental status of intended parents and how past cases under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have been challenging for donor-conceived persons. The authors propose that reform should be dealt with by the legislature in four areas: provincial family law reform where necessary; robust and meaningful public consultation; interprovincial cooperation if possible; and, consideration of law reform in other jurisdictions
Autonomy and Beneficence in Assisted Dying in Canada: The Eligibility of Mature Minors
Authors: Guichon Juliet , Mohamed Farah , Clarke Kim , Mitchell Ian
Published: January 2019

In Carter v. Canada (Attorney General), the Supreme Court of Canada legalized physicianassisted dying. Responding to this decision, Parliament passed Bill C-14, which provides that adults who suffer intolerably from a terminal medical condition may seek assistance to end their lives. Notably, the legislation does not grant access to mature minors. This article considers whether access should be granted, examining the Canadian assisted dying framework, situations of minors who might seek assisted dying, the law concerning mature minor consent to medical treatment, and other jurisdictions that grant access to mature minors. It argues that the ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence that underlie the Carter decision should be used to determine whether mature minors should have access to physician-assisted dying.

Hryniak v. Mauldin Comes to Alberta: Summary Judgment, Culture Shift, and the Future of Civil Trials
Authors: Billingsley Barbara
Published: January 2019

Alberta’s law of civil procedure, and summary judgment in particular, has experienced a culture shift since the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling in Hryniak v. Mauldin. This article asks whether litigation directed toward a conventional trial is now, or is soon to be, a thing of the past. Although intended to revive traditional trials as a realistic and timely resolution option, it is impossible to say yet if this will be Hryniak’s legacy in Alberta. Three things are clear in post-Hryniak Albertan jurisprudence, however: first, the Hryniak test governs the determination of summary judgment applications in Alberta; second, Alberta courts have embraced the call for proportionality in litigation procedure; and third, the Hryniak culture shift creates uncertainty for Alberta litigants.
Life Among the Ruins: Section 91(24) After Tsilhqot'in and Grassy Narrows
Authors: Wilkins Kerry
Published: January 2019

In two landmark 2014 decisions — Tsilhqot’in and Grassy Narrows — the Supreme Court of Canada held that section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, is all that protects existing Aboriginal and treaty rights from federal or provincial infringement: that such rights derive no additional protection from the doctrine of interjurisdictional immunity. This article examines that conclusion by criticizing the reasoning offered in its support, pointing out its unacknowledged doctrinal implications, and inviting a broader conversation about how the law should address them.
Alternative Fact? More Democratic States Are More Likely to Provide Refugee Protection
Authors: Perryman Benjamin
Published: January 2019

Democracy is explicitly engaged in two aspects of the Canadian refugee determination process: state protection findings and Designated Country of Origin determinations. Democracy is also implicitly engaged in the selection of countries as so-called “safe countries.” This article reviews the literature on measuring the level of democracy in a given state, and the empirical evidence linking this level to a state’s willingness and ability to provide adequate protection to its citizens. The article argues that the Federal Court of Appeal was misguided in taking judicial notice of a correlation between the level of democracy in a given state and its ability to provide state protection. The article also reviews and questions the use of “democratic governance” as a factor in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Designated Country of Origin regime, as well as the implicit use of democracy in designating the United States as a “safe” country under the Safe Third Country Agreement. The article contends that the time has come to reconsider how democracy measurements are used in Canada’s refugee determination process, and advocates for an individualized approach to state protection determinations: one that eschews the alternative fact presumption of a connection between democracy and protection, and instead focuses on the protective mechanisms available to a refugee claimant based on their unique circumstances.
Watertight Compartments: Getting Back to the Constitutional Division of Powers
Authors: Honickman Asher
Published: January 2019

This article offers a fresh examination of the constitutional division of powers. The author argues that sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act, 1867 establish exclusive jurisdictional spheres — what the Privy Council once termed “watertight compartments.” This mutual exclusivity is emphasized and reinforced throughout these sections and leaves very little room for legitimate overlap. While some degree of overlap is permissible under this scheme — particularly incidental effects, genuine double aspects, and limited ancillary powers — overlap must be constrained in a principled fashion to comply with the exclusivity principle. The modern trend toward flexibility and freer overlap is contrary to the constitutional text. The author argues that while some deviation from the text is inevitable due to the presumption of constitutionality and stare decisis, the Supreme Court should return to a more exclusivist footing in accordance with the text.
"Have I kept inquiry moving?" On the Epistemology of Reflection
Authors: Molander Bengt
Published: January 2019

Detractors of Schon's notion of "reflection in action" often point out that there is seldom time for reflection when a person is engaged in work. Such comments indicate an overly narrow conception of what reflection is. In this article it is argued that a practice, which occurs over a span of time, may be reflective without any particular activity called "reflection" being carried out. Though there is a diversity of forms of reflection in practice, it is argued that Schon's notion of "conversation"or "dialogue" can be developed so as to exhibit a structural similarity to various reflective practices. Reflection in action emerges, then, as a form of knowledge in action, as fallible as any other form of empirical knowledge.
Teacher Praise and Encouragement: Towards an Education for Democracy
Authors: Saeverot Herner
Published: January 2019

International education tests, such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), steer the debate about education, form the image of a school, and specify the goals and objectives of the curriculum. Thus praise, prizes and other positive reinforcements become common methods in school. Through Franz Kafka's Letter to his Father I examine encouragement and teacher praise, which are, when we look into it, held in the grip of behaviourism. I take issue with this dominant thinking and make an attempt to go beyond praise and encouragement as positive reinforcements of desired behaviours that are postulated in advance. I make an educational argument out of Heidegger's phenomenological term, Ereignis, and suggest that teachers ought to praise that which the student is suited for and not only when they have fulfilled the demands of the curriculum. I also make an educational argument out of two Derridaean terms, hospitality and forgiveness, and claim that teachers ought to give back -- through praise and encouragement -- the students' self-respect, whatever their faults. Instead of being manipulative and serving narcissistic needs, praise ought to serve an education for democracy.
Debating Phenomenological Research Methods
Authors: Finlay Linda
Published: January 2019

Phenomenological researchers generally agree that our central concern is to return to embodied, experiential meanings aiming for a fresh, complex, rich description of a phenomenon as it is concretely lived. Yet debates abound when it comes to deciding how best to carry out this phenomenological research in practice. Confusion about how to conduct appropriate phenomenological research makes our field difficult for novices to access. Six particular questions are contested: (1) How tightly or loosely should we define what counts as "phenomenology" (2) Should we always aim to produce a general (normative) description of the phenomenon, or is idiographic analysis a legitimate aim? (3) To what extent should interpretation be involved in our descriptions? (4) Should we set aside or bring to the foreground researcher subjectivity? (5) Should phenomenology be more science than art? (6) Is phenomenology a modernist or postmodernist project, or neither? In this paper, I examine each of these areas of contention in the spirit of fostering dialogue, and promoting openness and clarity in phenomenological inquiry.
"An Event in Sound" Considerations on the Ethical-Aesthetic Traits of the Hermeneutic Phenomenological Text
Authors: Henriksson Carina , Saevi Tone
Published: January 2019

In this article, we discuss some of the linguistic features of hermeneutic-phenomenological writing and, in so doing, we point to the close connection between lived experience and the ethical-aesthetic traits of writing the experience. Our exploration starts by contemplating texts written by the so-called Utrecht School. We reflect on their orientation as it has been understood, developed, and advocated by Max van Manen. The literary style of the Utrecht orientation is sometimes misunderstood and questioned. This article aims to explicate why and how hermeneutic phenomenology needs an expressive language to "write the lived experience" rather than to simply write "about" the lived experience. Lived experiences are always past experiences that we try to bring into the present, and so the difference between recollections and memories are discussed in connection to writing the experience. We argue that what is being told and not seen is, metaphorically speaking, an event in sound, which can have ethical and aesthetic virtues of truth and beauty. Lived experiences, whether written as anecdotes or as other kinds of experiential accounts, can shine forth through the use of expressive language. But is this kind of language poetry? Can such an account be regarded as poetic writing? If it is poetic writing, exactly how does it differ from academic writing? Our exploration of questions like these leads us to the tentative conclusion that, as hermeneutic phenomenological researchers, we dwell in the borderland between a "poetic attitude" and a utilitarian writing style.
The After-School Programme: An Arena for Interaction with Others through Body Movements in Play
Authors: Londal Knut
Published: January 2019

This article investigates how the body movements in children's play are related to their interaction with others. Qualitative material was gathered from close observation and qualitative research interviews among eight- and nine-year-old children in an after-school programme (ASP) in Norway. The theoretical perspective is phenomenological. The study shows that body movements in the children's self-chosen and child-managed play outdoors are extensive and arise from play situations where children spontaneously seek interaction with others. Such bodily interaction occurs largely in small groups of best friends or in larger groups that come together as the participants undertake the same activity. The children's body movements play a significant role in their interaction with others and can be interpreted as a fulfilment of their seeking such interaction. Based on the findings, it is recommended that self-chosen and child-managed play outdoors be encouraged in the ASP. While extensive body movements arise out of interaction in play, the play may also contribute to the children's health and development. The ASP can fill a complementary function to institutions with structured and adult-controlled activities.
Rhetorical Caricature: An Educational Reading of Nabokov's Treatment of Freud
Authors: Saeverot Herner
Published: January 2019

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), Russian-American novelist and lepidopterist, was neither a didactician nor a moralist. His images, which he painted with his words, are deceptive and contradictory. But the strangest thing happens. It turns out that Nabokov disliked Freud and painted images of the psychoanalyst that seem to become stale and mechanical. Literary critics, philosophers, and others have had a tendency to criticize Nabokov for suffering from influence-anxiety when it comes to Freud, hence making Nabokov into a dull paternalist with strong and prejudiced convictions. My suggestion is that we go beyond the ‘anxiety of influence’ viewpoint and address the issue through a phenomenological study and base our judgments on the experiences of the phenomena that shine through different texts of Nabokov. Thus it will be possible to see, I argue, that Nabokov’s rhetorical caricature may evoke experiences that are educative. At the same time, Nabokov’s treatment of Freud can be cast in a new light.
Embodied Pheno-Pragma-Practice - Phenomenological and Pragmatic Perspectives on Creative "Inter-practice" in Organisations between Habits and Improvisation
Authors: Kupers Wendelin M.
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this article is to develop a critical and extended understanding of creative practices in organisation from a phenomenological point of view. To develop such an understanding of practice, this paper will first outline a phenomenological understanding of creative practice, understood particularly with Merleau-Ponty as an embodied and situated nexus of action. Subsequently, the paper will show the contribution of pragmatism to an interpretation of practice as an experience-based reality and will describe the significance of habits. After briefly comparing common characteristics of both pro-experiential philosophies, some perspectives on a creative "inter-practice" and an inclusive "pheno-pragma-practice" will be explored. Furthermore, improvisation is discussed as a form and medium for the actual realisation of an embodied, situational inter-practice. Finally, some practical, political, theoretical and methodological implications and perspectives on creative pheno-pragmatic practices in organisation will be outlined.
Facing the Ugly Face
Authors: Goble Erika
Published: January 2019

Ugliness is largely considered an aesthetic, cultural construct and, though infrequently defined, is often seen as the opposite of existing conceptions of beauty. This definition of ugliness, however, provides little understanding of the lived experience of encountering it, particularly when that ugliness is found upon the face of another. This article explores the questions: what is ugliness? And what does it mean to experience another person as ugly? Through describing the experience of encountering an ugly face, ugliness is explored as a highly embodied, interpersonal experience that implicates the person who sees and recognizes another’s ugliness as much as it involves the ugly person, him- or herself.
Awakening Movement Consciousness in the Physical Landscapes of Literacy: Leaving, Reading and Being Moved by One’s Trace
Authors: Lloyd Rebecca J.
Published: January 2019

Physical literacy, a concept introduced by Britain’s physical education and phenomenological scholar, Margaret Whitehead, who aligned the term with her monist view of the human condition and emphasis that we are essentially embodied beings in-the-world, is a foundational hub of recent physical education curricular revision. The adoption of the term serves a political purpose as it helps stakeholders advocate for the educational, specifically literacy, rights of the whole child. Yet, one might wonder what impact conceptual shifts of becoming “physically literate” in lieu of becoming “physically educated” have on physical education research and practice. Terms such as “reading” the game and metaphors that describe the body as an “instrument of expression” are entering the lexicon of physical education but from a seemingly cognitive frame of reference. Arguably, the extent to which the adoption of physical literacy has on dissolving Cartesian views of the body and the mechanization of movement it performs has yet to be questioned. This article thus acts as an invitation to explore physical literacy in a Merleau-Pontian inspired act of inscribing the world through movement and how a reading of a reversible imprint might awaken a more fluent sense of what it means to become physically literate as new curricular pathways in the field of physical education emerge.

Caring Caresses and the Embodiment of Good Teaching
Authors: Smith Stephen
Published: January 2019

Attention is drawn to the movements of the body and to the ethical imperative that emerges in compelling, flowing moments of teaching. Such moments of teaching are not primarily intellectual, discursive events, but physical, sensual experiences in which the body surrenders to its own movements. Teaching is recognized momentarily as a carnal intensity embedded in and emerging from the flesh. The ethical imperative to this teaching is felt proprioceptively and kinaesthetically when one holds in self-motion the well-being of another as being of the same flesh. The teaching caress offers a primary example. This gesture of intimacy discloses an embodied ethic that contrasts with the transcendental ethics of curricular prescriptions, professional codes of conduct, and the presumptions of self-monitoring behavior. It is a gesture of care for another person, without fastidious carefulness. It is a gesture of pure duration, without sanctimonious purity, in its contact with the beauty, truth and value of the teachable moment. From earliest engagements with children to the dynamics of the university classroom, what makes for good teaching is essentially attentiveness to intimate gestures, such as the caress, that guide teachers kinethically in the moment.
Ignoring the Child and The Call for a Good Balance. Aspects of a Phenomenologically Based Theory of Teacher Actions
Authors: Fuglseth Kåre Sigvald
Published: January 2019

This article explores the possibilities of articulating a theory of teacher actions in light of a critical or constitutive phenomenology of action. Through the use of a video analysis project, a case from a learning session is presented as a point of departure. The general question is whether constitutive phenomenology as a kind of reflective analysis may help to explore and understand the practical knowledge of a teacher in a classroom interacting with children. The situation is deliberately seen from the teacher’s point of view, and seeks to demonstrate how the knowledge of teachers’ actions in relation to a teaching subject, and in interaction with students’ and children’s calls, may be analysed. A general theory of teacher actions is formulated as a dynamic combination or balance of focal and global beliefs, values and practices, while different types of combinations of these phenomenologically described thetic "positionalities" are described to understand ignoring more generally. The ignoring of children in a classroom is further analysed and described according to the German Bildung tradition and the pedagogical paradox of formation. The article also discusses contributions and limitations of phenomenology in pedagogical research, and in relation to teacher student pedagogy in particular.

Sublimity & the Image: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Exploration
Authors: Goble Erika
Published: January 2019

For over 2000 years, the sublime has been a source of fascination for philosophers, artists, and even the general public at times. We have written hundreds of treatises on the subject, put forth innumerable definitions and explanations, and even tried to reproduce it in art and literature. But, despite our efforts, our understanding of the sublime remains elusive. In this paper, the sublime is explored as a potential human experience that can be evoked by an image. Drawing upon concrete experiences, the phenomenon of sublimity suggests a compelling, embodied response to the visual object that can evoke a fundamental change of being.
The Ethics of Survival: Responsibility and Sacrifice in Environmental Ethics
Authors: Safit Ilan
Published: January 2019

The primary concern of environmental ethics pushed to the limit is the question of survival. An ethic of survival would concern the possibility of morality in an environmental crisis that promises humanity immeasurable damage, suffering, and even the possibility of species extinction. A phenomenological analysis of the question of moral response to such future catastrophe reveals—in Heideggerian fashion contra-Heidegger—that the very question positions us in a relation of responsibility towards a world and a humanity that lies beyond one’s reach and extends into the future. Responsibility, then, arises as a constituting element that defines humanity and therefore cannot be bracketed away or suspended in a time of crisis. Through a reading of Hans Jonas’ notion of responsibility and a critique of some major notions of Environmental Ethics, this article argues that an ethic of survival is conditioned by the survival of humanity as a moral, responsible species. The main challenge of this responsibility is further suggested to be the clash between the autonomy and dignity of the individual and the vital needs of the larger community in the struggle for survival.
A Review of Brendon Larson’s Metaphors for Environmental Sustainability: Redefining our Relationship with Nature
Authors: Redmond Kevin
Published: January 2019

Brendon Larson’s Metaphors for Environmental Sustainability: Redefining our Relationship with Nature is a thought provoking treatment of what can be a challenging and sometimes controversial subject. Primarily, but not exclusively, through four feedback metaphors: progress, competition, barcoding, and meltdown, Larson challenges the dominant scientific discourse, highlighting the limits of a single-lens scientific narrative while emphasizing the value of welcoming ambiguity, and diversity as a means to fruitful discussion and inquiry in addressing the issues surrounding environmental sustainability. Furthermore, rather than fencing ourselves off from nature, Larson demonstrates the importance of breaking down narratives of duality, and seeing ourselves as one with nature, not separate from it, in addressing issues concerning environmental sustainability. This book is valuable not only for its message, but also for how its concepts are presented. Larson presents historical and cultural frameworks to contextualize evolutionary and current environmental sustainability narratives. This book exemplifies phenomenological practices and perceptions, and is a valuable and insightful read for any individual, practitioner, or academic with an interest in environmental sustainability.

Toward Experiencing Academic Mentorship
Authors: Robinson Leslie
Published: January 2019

The idea of mentorship has become rather fashionable in academia today. Indeed mentorship is claimed, promoted and even mandated as something we can expect to experience as graduate students. Yet what is it really like to experience it? Drawing on concrete descriptions and phenomenological reflection I attend to graduate students’ actual experiences of mentorship (and not mentorship) to uncover aspects of the mentee experience for what it is rather than how it is claimed to be. Graduate students’ experiences reveal ways that mentoring moments variously escape us as somehow deficient or in excess of what we expect them to be. From a vantage that attends specifically to the mentee experience, points of reflection are offered for reimagining what the mentorship experience could become.

Transforming Body, Emerging Utterance: Technique Acquisition at a Puppet Theater
Authors: Okui Haruka
Published: January 2019

This paper describes the moment when a new body technique is acquired, using a case study in which three puppeteers manipulate a single puppet together. Although phenomenology assumes that the world is always “already there” before reflection begins, we can still ask how a sequence of movements is acquired. Struggling to learn puppet choreography in a training session, the learner’s body encounters difficulties because it cannot easily imitate the proper movements. At the same time, the puppet master cannot easily explain those movements because he or she is so familiar with them. The communication between instructor and learner requires a kind of reflection that helps the learner transform and attain competency; this reflection is different from a dualistic disembodied form of thinking thatuses abstract representation. The focus is on the precise coordination of gestures and onomatopoeic utterances that emerge through improvisation in the learner’s trial movements. It is not just “a process of thinking,” but an experience that evokes “a synchronizing change of my own existence, a transformation of my being” (Merleau-Ponty, 1962, p. 213), through which the puppeteer facilitates his or her own body’s comprehension of new movements. Using puppetry as an example not only illuminates the phenomenon of learning a bodily skill, but also reveals the dynamics of our bodies, which can enliven our conversation, engender our transformation, and realize our being-in-the-world.
Lived Space and Support as Interrelated Phenomena in the Context of Young People with Mental Health Problems
Authors: Sommer Mona , Saevi Tone
Published: January 2019

The Norwegian welfare system due to human rights is in charge of providing necessary supportof life to every citizen in terms of a safe place to live, the opportunity to education oremployment and meaningful life accomplishments. We explore how public sustenance isexperienced by a group of young receivers of public support. The article is one of three substudiesdrawing on empirical material from in-depth interviews with 14 young adults withmental health challenges and experiences from being partly or fully out of school or work. Theinterviews reveal that in particular three aspects of support are significant to the young. Theseare personal and shared space (e.g., supportive personal and professional relationships), theopportunity of a safe home, and the prospect of not being trapped for a lengthy time in theirproblems (an effective ‘standstill’ or suspension of agency of life), but be part of the “world outthere.” Could public support provide some temporary or permanent help with regard to thesebasic aspects of life? We explore in this article the potential interrelatedness between space andsupport in a hermeneutic phenomenological manner with basis in experiences from four of theyoung in the study. David, Mia, Oda and Simon (all pseudonyms) each in their way, describemoments where support and space seem to be existentially and experientially interconnected.We wonder if analysis of the two phenomena can inform our understanding of the qualities thatcharacterize what we might call a ‘supportive’ environment within public welfare.
On the Lived, Imagined Body: A Phenomenological Praxis of a Somatic Architecture
Authors: Bellerose Christine
Published: January 2019

"On the Lived, Imagined Body" is a reflective remembering from the point of view of a movementperformance artist's training session learning to dance with imagined wings when in her livedexperience, the body of the dancer is aware somatically of moving with wings that do not actuallyexist. The overarching conceptualization in this article describes the inner-outer tensions, thekinesthetic, somatic, proprioceptive penetration inward and the visual-kinetic, imaginative reachoutward. The landmark work from dance phenomenologist Maxine Sheets-Johnstone (1966/2015),The Phenomenology of Dance, prompted the author of this article to translate an embodiedexperiential and imagined event for readers who might never have had the experience of a somaticmovement training of dancing with imagined wings as a lived experience. The phenomenology ofdancing as if with lived and imagined wings is developed further as a result of two week-longpresencing workshops taught by contemporary dancer-choreographer and somatics teacher BenoîtLachambre (2015/2016). For movement artists and dance practitioners, experiencing imaginarywings as lived wings means experiencing movement through mindful awareness and consciousintention of a praxis of somatic architecture.

“Deeper Than Even the Grain Goes”: Attending to Sound as Pedagogical Practice in Alphonso Lingis’s The Murmur of the World
Authors: Howard Patrick
Published: January 2019

This article uses Alphonso Lingis’s essay The Murmur of the World as a catalyst for a phenomenological inquiry into the experience of making room for an articulate world; a world that speaks. A great deal has been written about vision as our primary source of insight and understanding. Visual perception dwarfs the other modalities by which we know the world. In The Murmur of the World, Lingis calls us into the realm of background noise where things hum withactivity, but are rarely noticed. I propose that the soundscape can be lifted out and re-animated, and so, too, our world, with deeper awareness and innovative listening. Drawing on the work ofJane Bennett and Theodor Adorno, I suggest a creative, pedagogical practice may bring forth for us the community of vital, expressive presences in which we are immersed.

Published: January 2019

This study aims to clarify the significance and necessity of the radian measure through a didactical analysis of the radian measure and to reveal the problems that arise when teaching, and then to search for improved teaching methods. First, it was conducted to analyze historical, mathematical and pedagogical points of view for multidisciplinary analysis of the radian concept. A major finding was that the unit conversion of angles, the unit omission of length ratio, and the unit construction to have real number representations of angles in degree are the key conceptual elements of the radian measure. The levels of the angle measure conceptualization are derived. Second, It was revealed the problems that arise when teaching through analyzing mathematics curriculum, and analyzing the survey of the students’ understanding of the radian measure. Third, I provide insight into how to improve the teaching of the radian measure and suggest concrete teaching and learning tasks. As a result of this research, it was revealed that the transition from trigonometric ratios to trigonometric function is not connected, and the teaching and learning problems of the radian measure is only superficial and mechanical learning of the radian measure. The didactical suggestions can contribute to establishing substantial measures and a theoretical perspectives.

Published: January 2019

In this study, we conducted a Focus Group Interview on 13 teachers to investigate the teachers' recognitions about the significance of the descriptive evaluation, the difficulty of the descriptive evaluation, and the use of the descriptive evaluation result, and to utilize intelligence information tools to support evaluation. As a result of this study, we proposed the supporting way for successful execution of descriptive evaluation such as the definite meaning of descriptive evaluation, the construction of descriptive items bank including descriptive items, sample answers, scoring criterions, and feedback presentation methods, the construction of a class environment for teaching descriptive items at various levels, and the transition to descriptive items in the College Scholastic Ability Test. In addition, we proposed the way of using intelligent information tools that are predicted to be more active in the future, such as selecting and developing descriptive items, scoring, and providing feedback.

Published: January 2019

Projects can be used as both teaching learning and method and assessment methods. In the case of university students performing subject-discovery project and real-life problem-solving project about the curves of constant width, this study analyzed the mathematical competencies of the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum. Students revealed all six mathematical competencies during carrying out the project, and the project must be meaningful as a method of teaching and learning to foster the competencies. Specific implications were derived to foster the teaching abilities through the project.

This study aims to show the impact of orientation and glazing type on optimum window size in hot climate using genetic algorithms. In winter the optimization of window size is obtained thanks to thermal gains from solar radiation, taking into account this free heat gains from the sun reduces heating demand of the building. In summer the optimization of window size is complex, in this case, the window is considered as a heat gains element. For a hot climate, the sun can be used as a passive strategy to reduce energy consumption. An optimal window size allows avoiding problems of glare and overheating. ASHRAE proposed a Window to Wall Ratio (WWR) which is considered as the optimal window size that ensures minimum annual thermal loads, this coefficient neglect different parameters such as (Glazing type, the orientation, daytime). A typical office room located in Ghardaia (South of Algeria) is selected as a case study. The results show that daylight is a key factor in limiting the window size in hot climate. The WWR cannot be considered as optimal for the whole year; this study shows that the optimal window size varies with daytime.
The fall of Gaddafi through CNN and Fox News
Authors: Orozco Macías Andrés Fernando
Published: January 2019

Objectives: to determine the media construction criteria on Gaddafi as a political enemy based on Fox News and CNN news discourse analysis regarding his fall from power.

Methodology: a qualitative method and a content analysis was applied which contrasted the Fox and CNN channels’ news concepts and images. Based on this, a logical-sequential speech classification was elaborated under the Edelman Murray theoretical model.

Results: it was found that the news around the fall of Gaddafi had been manipulated in texts and images in in a way of framing the narration with predetermined interests. In addition, it was evident that television media has a high degree of political influence in that it can suggest to the viewer that some political deaths must be celebrated while there are others that must be reproached as long as three sequences are fulfilled: the social problems creation, the justification, and the enemies construction.

Conclusions: television channels with high global diffusion and political interests indicate what social problems are necessary to highlight in the media. Ignorance about the political and social processes in Libya lead the Fox and CNN audiences to accept, without prior or later questioning, the actions of NATO in Libya.
Child migrants returning to Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico
Authors: Herrera Martha Cecilia , Montoya Zavala Erika Cecilia
Published: January 2019

Objective: to characterize familiy profiles from those who return to Mexico after being in the United states and to learn about the difficulties faced by the returning migrant children, with specific attention to their adaptation within the Mexican school system as well as the actions undertaken by parents and teachers to help them in the process.

Methodology: a random representative survey was carried out in elementary schools in Culiacán, Sinaloa between March 23rd and December 7th of 2015. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with parents who returned and the teachers of children who had returned. These interviews were held between March 13th and July 29th of 2016.

Results: it was shown that the majority of families are mixed and have a greater number of children who are citizens of the United States. The study also revealed that from a total of 534 children who had been returned to primary schools, 87.4% were born in the United States. Those students suffer from a problem of invisibility in the educational system and, at the same time, face bulling because of their different appearance. Additionally, children and their parents struggle with depression in the adaptation process.

Conclusions: return migration to Mexico has been a constant. For children, their families, and the society to which they return, the challenge in return migration is evident. It also creates challenges in a child’s school life, especially due to the fact that they have little or no command of Spanish.
