... relations will split further, with each sub-discipline becoming more isolated and more esoteric. The way to avoid this, in my opinion, is to remain in contact with the experiential foundation of our work. The encounter with an animal can be an experience...

... as well as in the documents they produced and shared with each other. My consistent presence at all three office sites engendered the experiential and embodied ways of knowing that are paramount to ethnography.

... demographic categories and functionalist explanations, is not especially conducive to capturing the experiential density of what is involved in reading a book or watching a film. We are confronted, in other words, with the classic hermeneutic distinction between explanation...

... between at least two users and within an aural, or experiential and ontic, encounter with the materiality of language. The language act builds a gestural bridge between interlocutors and their immediate surrounding.2 The phonic and simultaneously etymological bridges between Mapundungun...

... that defy experiential or commonsense understanding. Doing so is, at least in part, an archival challenge. As Michel Foucault (1982) put it, the archive is a “system that establishes statements as events and things” (145). In this essay, I take up the imaginative challenges of the Anthropocene...

... to die. For the Black, freedom is an ontological, rather than experiential, question. The experience of upward mobility, of lifting oneself up above the street (to recall Sharpton), is a poor substitute for ontological freedom. It is a disavowal of not one but two deaths: the symbolic or social death...

... perception —​here, that of Aquinas —​with the kind of unof- ficial, experiential, vernacular (in the broadest sense) exploration of sensation that medieval poetry makes possible.

... the experiential penury that Smith still conceives as only a temporary condition: “It seldom happens that the person who tills the ground has wherewithal to maintain himself till he reaps the harvest. His maintenance is generally advanced to him from the stock of a master, the farmer who employs him...

... the world and that its emotional force does not merely arise from what it signifies. For hoogland, art is experiential. Like Serpell’s assertion that literary uncertainty is performative, this claim defines art not as some object out in the world that represents a stable set of meanings...

... from many sources, both physiological and experiential, and as developing and changing for each of us over the course of our individual lifetimes. Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir were crucial figures and thinkers for me in the 1950s. In later years I found myself sympathetic to Julia...

Invested in what Suzi Gablik (1992: 2) calls the connective aesthetics, the plastic artists refuse the monocentric mythology of the artist.

... an experiential process that is only rec- ognizable at later stages when they are “built into institutions and for- mations” (132). It is the “generative immediacy” of the structure of feeling that gives form to the utopian impulse (133). While people may rehearse their desire for a better life...

..., parceled into manageable lots, and provided a visual and experiential reminder of who was in charge. There was no doubt in the minds of peasants and tenant farmers what the roads signified. We might picture the situation in terms of Henri Lefe­bvre’s “rhythmanalysis” (2004; 1992):14 the chora...
