Phenomenological attention is increasingly directed towards different stages and phases of human life, such as childhood, old age and illness experiences. This includes studies of the relationships between generations and caring relationships. In this symposium we have brought together phenomenologists from Denmark, Latvia and Sweden who make use of the phenomenological tradition in studying key issues connected to practical knowledge in our time. They address and practice phenomenology not only as a philosophical tradition but also as a resource in carrying out empirical studies and issuing political critique.Program:9-9.15: Introduction9.15-10: Anthony Fernandez, University of Southern Denmark: Thinking beyond depressed mood: The place of phenomenology and qualitative methods10-10.30: Coffee10.30-11.15: Uldis Vēgners, University of Latvia: Out and back again: How science and technology return to the life-world 11.15-12: Eva Schwarz, Södertörn University: The phenomenology of the baton: Policework and affective practices 12-13: Lunch13-13.45: Dan Zahavi, University of Copenhagen: The meaningfulness of social energy: Rosa’s synthesis of critical theory and phenomenology13.45-14.30: Māra Grīnfelde, University of Latvia: From ‘I can’ to ‘I must’: Embodied and normative perspectives on digital baby-tracking and monitoring technologies14.30- 15: Coffee15-15.45: Fredrik Svenaeus: Södertörn University: The phenomenology of aging: Investigating the handling of inevitable life-losses15.45-16: Summing up of the daySÖDERTÖRNS HÖGSKOLAAlfred Nobels allé 7 FlemingsbergPostadress141 89 HuddingeTelefon08-608 40 [email protected]@sh.se
