I worked through the first few steps of my transcendental phenomenology assignment using the guidance of Moustakas (Sage, 1994). I attempted to identify invariant constituents from an interview, then to develop themes and finally to write up an individual textual description. I found this a little difficult, largely, I think because my phenomenology was based on a single critical experience - I chose an interview from the Kent State University archives about the Ohio National Guard Shootings of student Vietnam war protesters in May of 1970. I felt like I was looking at a sequence of events rather than a broader experience. What I mean by broader: one of the examples in Moustakas's book involves insomnia. I very much like the way that was presented in the book, and it makes me wish I had had a 'phenomena' of that type so I could follow the example more closely. One theme in the interview I chose that I found interesting (and recurring) was denial. The interview was conducted with someone who seemed to have a very vivid recollection, yet this individual kept relating instances of not believing things: not believing that there were actual military on a campus; not believing they would be armed; not believing they would actually shoot; not believing no one was immediately helping with the wounded. It was as if, despite the 'proof' offered by this person's own eyes, the circumstances were so 'unbelievable,' that even at the time of this interview 40 years later, the disbelief, doubt, denial was still something the participant was working through.
The photo is of a character called "Hindi Bendi." Transcendental phenomenology made me think of transcendental meditation, and Hindi is a happy, multi-limbed, flexible meditating guy. He is shown against the backdrop of bare winter northern Mississippi trees.
