Back to the Things Themselves!

May 29, 2007 - May 31, 2007,
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada

Back to the Things Themselves! is an attempt to temporarily liberate ourselves from textual exegesis, and return to the lived world to divine the essential structures of experience through rigorous phenomenological description. Husserl’s call to return zu der Sachen selbst has only been intermittently heeded by subsequent generations of phenomenologists, the majority of which have generally focused on contributing to and elaborating on the enormous critical apparatus issuing from the founding texts of the movement. What Back to the Things Themselves! proposes is to build on the important contributions of such scholarship by using them to guide our reflections on phenomenon in the life-world. Back to the Things Themselves! is therefore explicitly interested in the application of phenomenological method broadly construed, and in textual exegesis only to the extent that it serves to clarify a point of method or a feature of a given description.

MACAS1 was best characterized by the word diversity, which showed the need for the development of common conceptual frameworks under which researchers can pursue and consolidate their myriad ideas.
