DIALOGUE: RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE, VISUALITY, AND THE LIFEWORLD
(PHENOMENOLOGY
OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE III)

Olga Louchakova-Schwartz, Graduate Theological
Union (Berkeley) and the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience
DESCRIPTION
“Open Theology” (
http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth)
invites submissions for the topical issue “Phenomenology in Dialogue: Religious
Experience, Visuality, and the Lifeworld”, prepared in collaboration with
the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience (
www.sophere.org).
We invite submission of papers dedicated to the
phenomenologically determined themes of imagination, image-consciousness,
appearance and the non-apparent, phenomenological ontology, and genetic
phenomenology, with regard to religious experience. We further invite
innovative philosophical and theological reflections on image, imagination, and
creativity in religious experiencing, as well as reflections on a reverse
problem of how religious experience contributes to the above mentioned
faculties examined in the psychological horizon. This topic can be further
narrowed down to research of phenomenological visuality, or broadened by
thematization of critical issues arising from research into religious
experience, such as, but not limited to, first-person authority
and the relationship between phenomenological and natural scientific
horizons of inquiry: What are the spheres, regions, and horizons by which we
can understand religious experience? How do traditional topics of
phenomenological philosophy, such as the ego, subjectivity, embodiment, or
intersubjectivity, relate to the study of visuality in religious experience? We
invite these and other questions to be treated not only in the light of
classical phenomenological scholarship, but also within other interpretive and
critical approaches; we also welcome contributions from perspectives of
theological phenomenology such as those connected with the work of
Schleiermacher or Troeltsch, French phenomenology, and the Phenomenology of
Life. Papers discussing the manifestations of visuality in various religious
lifeworlds are also invited: does religious visuality manifest across various
traditions and practices? The issue is open both to theoretical papers and
papers with applied practical orientation, as along as the authors use
phenomenological reflection in the treatment of their findings.
