Gadamer’s Six Hermeneutic Concepts

A
  1. Hermeneutic Circle
  2. Horizon
  3. Fusion of Horizons
  4. Tradition & Prejudice
  5. Langauge
  6. Dialogue
22
Q

Gadamers - Hermeneutic Circle

A
  • Understanding is always framed by something already understood
  • Understand the whole to understand the parts
  • Understand the parts to make sense of the whole
23
Q

Gadamers - Horizon

A
  • Person’s knowledge and experience are their Horizon
  • This is the ground and limit of their understandin
  • Each Horizon is Historically Determined and Culturally Embedded
  • Horizons cannont be escaped
  • Horizons shape our understanding
24
Q

Gadamers - Fusion of Horizons

A
  • Individual Horizon can transcend by exposure to another Horizon
  • New Horizon has views that give new context to our Horizon
  • Hegel Dialectical Reasoning & Piaget’s assimillation and accomodation
25
Q

Gadamers - Tradition & Prejudice

A
  • We are all embedded in a cultural tradition
  • This creates prejudice of understanding
  • This is why we state Paradigms, Ontology and Epistimology overtly
26
Q

Gadamers - Language

A
  • Language is the universal metod of communication
  • Linguistic Medium describes Interpretation
  • Language determines how we understand the world and know ourselves
  • Social Constructionism how we give and receive love e.g. love languages
27
Q

Gadamers - Dialogue

A
  • Hermeneutic Experience is discusson between interpreter and the phenomena
  • Understanding is dialogue between individuals
  • Understanding is constrained by questions - as the questions change, understanding changes
28
Q

Interpretive Process

A
  • Phenomenological inquiry is a process
  • Uncovers meanings hidden by perception of a phenomenon
29
Q

Double Hermeneutic

A
  1. Participant makes sense of the world
  2. Researcher makes sense of the participant making sense of the world
    3.
30
Q

Reflexive Statement & IPA

A
  • Challenges researcher to critically and reflexively evaluate any preconceptions
  • Fore-conceptions emerge in the research process
  • Need to acknowledge foregrounding and bracketing

Q

Reflexive Statement & IPA

A
  • Challenges researcher to critically and reflexively evaluate any preconceptions
  • Fore-conceptions emerge in the research process
  • Need to acknowledge foregrounding and bracketing
31
Q

Bracketing

A
  • Also known as foregrounding
  • Acknowledging participants pre accounts
32
Q

IPA Iterative Process

A
  • A cycle of movement and understanding
  • From interpreter to object of interpretation
  • From parts of text to the whole text
  • The Hermeneutic Circle
33
Q

Idiography

A
  • Wihem Windelband Neo-Kantian Philosopher
  • Introduced Nomothetic and Idiographic terms
  • These were entered into psychology by Alport 1962
34
Q

Idiographic Orientation

A
  • A complete, indepth understanding of an indiviual
  • Focuses on Individuals rather than data
  • Data is collected and aggregated as a whole
35
Q

Idiographic Approach

A
  • Aims for in depth focus of particular individual
  • Commited to detail and finely textured analysis
  • Does not rely on accumulated data - this is more nomothetic
  • IPA Uses purposive homogenous sampling
  • Single cases or Case-Studies
36
Q

Analytic Process - Collecting Data

A
  • Usually collected with semi or unstructured interviews
  • Aims to capture a lived experience of participant
  • Takes up epistomological position of realism
  • Data is viewed as reflective rather than co-constructed
  • Transcripts and Familiarisation and Pre-analysis of Qual Data Analysis
37
Q

Analytic Practice - 3 Key Steps

A
  1. Empathic descriptive summary of individual - idiographic emphasis
  2. Thematic analysis of individual case from descriptive concepts to interprative
  3. Abstracted and conceptual reading across multiple cases
    * Each case is analysed separately
    * Text is always intepreted through the participant’s own words
    * Direct Quotations are important throughout analysis
38
Q

Analytic Process - Step 1: Brief descriptive summary

A
  • Brief Descriptive, empathic summary
  • Condence and capture individal experience
  • Lens of understanding phenomena being investigated
  • Use participants words to demonstrate empathic stance
39
Q

Analytic Process - Step 2.1: Identifying concepts

A
  • Read through transcripts a few times
  • Left margin note anything interesting or significant
  • Keep RQ in mind at all times
  • Comment on language, similarities, differences and contradictions
  • Try to make sense of what is impotant to the participant
40
Q

Analytic Process - Step 2.1: Identifying concepts

A
  • There are no rules, comment on anything that is interesting
  • Some parts will be richer than others
  • These will lead to further commentary
41
Q

Analytic Process - Step 2.2: Identifying Themes

A
  • Read through and document emerging sub-themes in right margins
  • Move inital notes into concise paragraphs
  • Capture the essence of the experience
  • Keep focused on participants experience and also analysis
  • Seek theoretical connections across cases
42
Q

Step 2.2: Identifying Themes 2

A
  • Cluster Concepts to form sub-themes
  • List Subthemes on a sheet of paper in the order they appear
  • Look for connections
  • Connect ideas unified by a central concept
  • ONLY look at what is said dirctly - Do NOT infer
43
Q

Step 2.3: Identifying Superordinate Themes

A
  • Find subthemes that point to larger order understanding
  • Interpretaion often beyond participants words but always stay close to subjects actual words
  • Clustered themes are Superordinate (Over-arching) Themes
  • Should be only 1-3 superodinate themes
44
Q

Step 2.4: Ordering

A
  • Order emerging superordinate themes into groups
  • Ensure order is coherent per Hermeneutic Circle
  • Order is from most strongly capturing subjects experience to least strongly
45
Q

Step 2.4: Ordering 2

A
  • Note Subthemes under Superordinate themes
  • Refer back to text and identify connects to participants words
  • Give each Superordinate Theme it’s own name
  • Should reflect participants words
46
Q

Step 2.5: Find Identifiers

A
  • Add Identifier of Instances under each theme
  • These identify subthemes in participants words
  • Identifier - where in the transcript the theme is found
  • Instances - Key words that demonstrate the Identifier (page and line number is found
47
Q

Moving to Step 3

A
  • Steps 1 and 2 are completed in their entirety
  • Done for each data source before the next is completed
  • Once all data has been examined Superordinate Themes are compared across data set
  • Final master themes are presented this way
48
Q

Step 3: Final Structure

A
  • Eliminate Superordinate themes that do not fit well
  • Place theme clusters and identifiers in a table
  • List subthemes which go with identifier
49
Q

Modern Existentialism

A
  • Husserl 1938
  • Pure Phenomenology
  • The Nature of Human Existence
  • Ontology - The study of Existence or what it means to Be
