Modern epistemology, through phenomenology, and especially constructionism, values the exclusivity of the role of language and narrative in the construction of reality. Oral stories, rich expressions of language, thus serve as vehicles for transmitting fundamental meanings in the construction of culture. However, the predominant approach of many prominent constructionist and phenomenological authors is sociological-functional, as it tends to interpret or justify such constructs as functional to socio-political structures and the reproduction of power structures. This is a common denominator accepted by relevant authors, but, as deconstructionism and postmodernism point out, it lacks empirical rational bases in the listener/reader who believes in the story. To address this issue, an analysis of the literary discourse in " El Yerno," a popular tale from the Manabí culture with a moralist tone, is offered. Its structure, using the tools of structuralist and Jungian socio-anthropology, is not limited to the sociological function of the story but connects with symbolic-mantic material only possible through an aspiration for transcendent connection. It is concluded that the primary function of myth is only secondarily socio-political. We propose that every mythical narrative primarily teaches the believer about the understanding of the universe and its connection to the earth, and thus, the social control function is privileged only in the eyes of the outsider. The role of storytelling in the festivals of San Pedro and San Pablo, as a return to lost spirituality, is also reflected upon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article endeavors to contribute towards resolving technical challenges by evaluating the best hermeneutic criterion applicable to the immunity provided for in Article 156, Paragraph 2, I, of the Federal Constitution, by which the Constituent stipulated that all the transfer of real estate for the purpose of paying in the share capital of a legal entity is immune to the levy of ITBI (Real Estate Conveyance Tax). The hypothetical-deductive method was used, capable of producing theoretical knowledge with the possibility of practical application of the knowledge acquired, through doctrinal, legislative bases and jurisprudential survey, in which it will be verified, by using an interpretative evaluation aimed at extracting the content of the immunizing norm, that we are dealing with unconditional immunity and, therefore, full effectiveness and direct and immediate enforceability. In contrast, judgments from various Courts of Justice are presented, of which the analysis of the hermeneutic criterion used by their respective interpreters reveals that the search for the norm ended up bringing limitations that were not foreseen or even desired by the Constituent.

Introduction: Noncommunicable chronic diseases are rising, causing disability and dependence in the ones who suffer from them, as well as the necessity of a caregiver. Chronicity is a concept which has been analyzed from the perspective of the ill, leaving a void in the comprehension of the meaning for the caregiver. Aim: To understand the meaning of chronicity for people with non transmissible chronic diseases and their informal caregivers. Materials and methods: Qualitative phenomenologicalhermeneutic investigation according to the Van Manen proposal, casual sampling orientated by criteria with the participation of 10 sick people and 9 caregivers. The rigor criteria of credibility and confirmability, reliability, and transferability guaranteed the quality of the study. Results: The next topics emerged: to offer and receive care as a love act, family union, facing the hardness, receiving, giving, and looking support, being aware, change of life, learning process, a company for whole life, imposing restrictions, limitations, and loss. Conclusions: The meaning of chronicity for caregivers and sick people is complex, dynamic, and multidimensional which is why it is important to realize interventions that help mitigate the impact in the life of the binomial.

The study of religion from a Jungian perspective has been expanding in Brazil. The Jungian hermeneutic method is still little known. Thus, the article is characterized as theoretical, gathering important concepts in Jungian psychology, explaining how the symbolic hermeneutic method works, and discussing new methodological perspectives in Jungian research in dialogue with the contemporary world. The study also deals with the theme of religion, providing key concepts about the sacred. The results/analysis are related to the method of symbolic amplification of the narratives of São João do Guarani, a popular saint of the forest, worshipped in the Chico Mendes extractive reserve in Xapuri, Acre state. Mythical and symbolic metaphors are then applied to the narratives, considering the conceptual issue of archetype and collective unconscious, evoking the primary analogies and images that the tales produce.

This article highlights an intersection between hermeneutics and education by assuming as its ground the philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Its objective is to think, in a purposeful manner, how philosophical hermeneutics can, as "practical knowledge", contribute for discussing the formative-educational experi-ence in its dialogical and transforming feature. Starting from hermeneutics critique over technical-scientific rationality and its expansion through social life, some conceptual-hermeneutical cores (comprehension, experience, tradition and dialogue), which are relevant for the research on teaching-learning process and the educational phenomenon. The thesis "teaching as teaching oneself" is developed as a dialogical experience with the world, effectual fusion of horizons and in the perspective of rethinking formative and methodological dynamics in educational experiences, properly contextualizedes.

The aim of this paper is to examine the analogical-abductive procedures in Sigmund Freud's work The acquisition and conquer of fire (1932). In particular, the procedures compromised in the validation of the Freudian hermeneutic hypothesis on the Greek myth of Prometheus figuring the renunciation of an instinct [trieb] were examined. Conditions of internal coherence and empirical consistence were examined, analysing their characteristics in hermeneutic research. Conditions of admissibility in light of the validation process were discussed as well. The analysis was approached according to the model proposed by Ynoub for the empirical treatment in research with hermeneutic hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It suggests that Heidegger's method is able to be coordinated to a certain degree with Socrates' philosophy. Heidegger considers the formal-ontological structures of worldly life through a phenomenological analysis and Socrates problematizes the best way to live in order to lead to his interlocutors under the criterion by which to see the things is necessary to keep in view the being. Nevertheless, in both cases it deals with a questioning way of being, whose fruit it is not the outcome of a process of interpretation, but the very exercise of the interpretation.

Gianni Vattimo, who is known by his philosophy of pensiero debole wherewith builds his critique of metaphysical objectivity, he regards that all metaphysics is violent because it claims an epistemology that denies the difference. Thinking with Nietzsche-Heidegger axis, Vattimo seeks the overcoming of this model through hermeneutics and his interpretation of Christianity. Conjugating the pensiero debole with the announcement of kenosis of God, Vattimo analyzes the aspect of the weakening of the judeo-christian message presented in the Western thought. This is derived the charity, Christian's concept that demystifies all imposition of truth that is not the result of dialogue and consensus. The article's aim is to demonstrate the hermeneutics way to overcome metaphysics by analyzing some of Vattimo's works that approach this subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Love is a small word that carries many meanings. In everyday life, we refer to love without considering its meaning because the meaning depends on the object to which we refer. Love in nursing is considered one of the pillars of the science of caring. However, this assumption has some misunderstandings. It is important to clarify the scope of love in a therapeutic relationship and to understand how love manifests itself. Objective: To understand the lived experience of love by mental health nurses in the therapeutic relationship in nursing. Method: The study used a qualitative methodology, phenomenology of practice established by Max van Manen, rooted in philosophy, using philosophical, philological, and human sciences methods. Experiential reports were collected from 10 mental health nurses. The understanding of the meanings and senses of the phenomenon was based on radical reflection using epoché and reduction. Results: Love shows itself as seeing the invisible; as the impossibility of non-action; as reassuring gestures; as "going the extra mile"; as being attuned; as being connected; as letting the other to emerge; as hosting the other in oneself; as a pathic experience; and as a personal cost. Conclusion: Love is a transformative ingredient of the therapeutic relationship experience. This study is a possible understanding of the phenomenon of love in the therapeutic relationship in nursing. In addition, the study is a contribution to help clarify and demystify stereotypes and trigger reflections on the everyday relationships in nursing. Therefore, it may promote understandings that make the practice of care more sensitive and closer to the world of each patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite advances in gender equity in Chile, there is still a gap to be settled in relation to citizen participation. A reflection is proposed regarding the participation of women in public space. Through qualitative research in a post-catastrophe emergency camp, we see how women open new and alternative public spaces capable of accommodating specific demands. It is argued that post-disaster citizen participation is not considering gender aspects, even though women are the most active in contexts of precariousness and vulnerability, as in the case of the post-disaster emergency of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Chile in 2010.

In the educational field, the Attention to Diversity is called to take into account the differences related to learning styles and rhythms and other aspects of a personal, academic or social type such as motivations, difficulties and disabilities. The present study had among its purposes to discover the being of the phenomenon Attention to Diversity in the Subsystem of Basic Education and University Education. The method was guided by the phenomenological-hermeneutical paradigm. Interpretation of relevant texts, participant observation and in-depth interviews were conducted with three key informants. The research showed two main manifestations of being: Attention to Diversity and Inclusive Education are directly associated with Special Education services in Venezuela; and diversity in the classroom is conceived as a problem and not as a source of wealth for the school institution that concerns all its members. The policies that operate in this modality must adjust to the new trends to promote an institutional transformation of the methods of educational attention. Special Education teachers in the area of learning difficulties should focus on improving teaching and learning processes, on the diversification of strategies and resources, to attend the variety of students. Finally, to achieve a quality education for all, the declarations and mandates must be materialized in multiple concrete actions: investment in human resources, educational materials, infrastructure, training and awareness of the entire educational community.

The dialectic-hermeneutic idea of experience, understood as Erfahrung, vindicates the place it has in language, maintaining that it is not necessary to banish it from the realm of the arational and pre-linguistic. Both Gadamer and Agamben, despite their differences, have shown the undeniable link between experience and language: this is the place of the truth of experience, even if this truth is not scientific. An experience cannot be considered as such if it cannot be transmitted. The current experience of crisis also reveals itself as a crisis of experience. Human beings are rooted in a world of significance, the world of experience, of true experiences. And those that are true can become either a great or short story. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ecclesiology in Spain es deeply conditioned by historical circumstances and by the tensions of postconciliar reception. This was his eclesial service. Fundamental issue was the connection with Christ from the historical and theological point of view. There are essays, not systematic treatises. From the nineties abound handbooks with systematic and integrative will. In this way the reception of Vatican II shows its fecundity. This dynamic manifests itself in other ecclesiological fields.

The ability of anguish to reveal the hidden is, evidently, in relation to the essential uncovering activity of Dasein. This proposal continues the transcendental perspective of phenomenology even from the Heidegger's hermeneutic renewal. Anguish could be a pretheoretical way of reduction; what we will call here ontological reduction. In this way, the anguish puts in value the affective dispositions in the project of thinking something which, until now, has not been thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to apply the developments of democracy critical theory and its implications to constitutional hermeneutics in order to reframe the debate surrounding balance between the constitutional jurisdiction and the circuit government-parliament, inserting as a control element the Participative Institutions in the Brazilian case. For this purpose, both the proposition of opening in constitutional hermeneutics, summarized in the concept of an open society of interpreters from Peter Häberle, and the conception of controlling the Political Sphere from the Public Sphere, in Habermas, will be used as theoretical framework reinterpreted under the optics of Participative Institutions.

The current latinoamerican historical novel is sustained by an affectation for the history in its configuration as a literary text. In the same way it maintains a dialogical relationship with the speeches, historical and fictional. In the present study are addressed in particular some of those historical novels that include the period of the emancipation in Venezuela during the XIX century and which also show particular attention to the historical characters, Francisco de Miranda and Simon Bolivar. In this case the selected novels are: The roles of Miranda (2000) and The two death of the General Simon Bolivar (2004) by Mario Szichman (Buenos Aires, 1945) and The tragedy of the Generalisimo by Denzil Romero (Aragua de Barcelona 1938-Valencia 1999). Be observed through the search of the virtual platforms, the diffusion of articles and essays that focus its attention to the discursive analysis of those mentioned characters that have been recreated in each novel, from the resources of the parody and the irony, basically. Interpretative analysis is based on the ontological hermeneutic by Hans-George Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, as well as other recent tendencies of the latinoamerican hermeneutic as the Analogical hermeneuticby Mauricio Beuchot and the Existentialist and symbolical hermeneutic by Andres Ortiz- Osés. The contributions of the critical discourse on the genre, the historical novel, give own examples of the implications of an ethical philosophy and one aesthetic that each novel offered as a literary text.

This article was written from a concern of the author while searching for a way to justify the methodology used in his psychoanalysis research, as a way of approximation and interpretation of the texts of Sigmund Freud. First, it is important to mention we want to avoid what usually happens when it comes to a strictly theoretical research, which the author has the concern to present in advance the works that are going to be studied and forgets to mention the presuppositions of reading that are going to be used during the work. Because we believe in the possibility of approximating the sychoanalytical to the hermeneutical vision, we propose the questioning of this attempt, which we call psychoanalytical-hermeneutical.
