Embodying the narrative self, narrating the embodied self
This paper explores the mutually shaping relationship between embodiment and narrativity in the formation of selfhood. Although previous research has tended to treat the embodied and narrative self as interacting, yet distinct, layers, we argue for a more integrated account in which each is grounded in and shaped by the other, characterizing them as mutually shaping. Drawing on phenomenological concepts such as body schema and habituality, we fir…
Empathy through Listening
We often seek empathy from others by asking them to listen to our stories. But what exactly is the role of listening in empathy ? One might think that it is merely a means for the empathizer to gather rich information about the empathized. We shall rather argue that listening is an embodied action, one that plays a significant role in empathic perspective-taking. We make our case via a descriptive analysis of a paradigm case of empathy mediated b…
Narrative self-constitution as embodied practice
Narrative views of the self argue that we constitute our self in self-narratives. Embodied views hold that our self is shaped through embodied experiences. In that case, what is the relation between embodiment and narrativity in the process of self-constitution? The question demands a clear definition of embodiment, but existing studies remains unclear on this point (section 2). We offer a correction to this situation by drawing on Merleau-Ponty’…

Situated self-awareness in expert performance
We explore the nature of expert minds in skilled performance by examining classic Japanese dramatist Zeami’s account of skilled expertise in Noh drama. Zeami characterizes expert minds by the co-existence of mushin and riken no ken . Mushin (“no-mind”) is an empty state of mind devoid of mental contents. Riken no ken (“seeing with a separate seeing”) is a distinctive form of self-awareness, where the actor embodies a common perspective with the a…
Exploring Social Aesthetics
Social aesthetics can be regarded as an important addition to sociology and the social sciences. This article introduces the notion of aesthetic‐experiential knowledge into qualitative sociology and social research. It also directs attention to the qualities of social life in their own right, paving the way for approaching the question of a good society in the aesthetic sense. In this article I make a brief exposition of social aesthetics as it h…

Charisma
This paper critically examines sociological treatments of the concept of charisma. It demonstrates that the existence of diverse and conflicting views on charisma is due partly to sociologists' selection accentuations of the different types of charisma (magical, prophetic, and routinized) in Weber's writings. Reconsidering charisma as an expression of alienation, the paper also suggests a synthetic approach that may alleviate the conceptual anarc…
