Abstract

In this conceptual paper I suggest that hermeneutic phenomenological view on humans in the world can lay a premise to understand our embodied, dialogical way of living in the world with information of all kinds. This gives us ethical stance to the development of information‐intensive world and points out our limits as human beings. First, I explicate the implicit and explicit traces of phenomenology in the field of Library and Information Studies (LIS). After that, I continue to explicate how human beings and their relation to the world of information can be conceptualized also by the means of understanding, and dialogicality, with hermeneutic phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, 1985 and Hans‐Georg Gadamer, 2004 T. Then, I introduce the concepts and conceptions of understanding human beings as living bodies in the world, based on hermeneutic phenomenology of Maurice Merleau‐Ponty, 2006. Together, these form a strong basis for understanding humans with information in their environment. Finally, I explicate why it is essential and meaningful to understand humans as embodied and dialogical, to be able to understand and examine information use, action, and interaction in our field in different contexts critically and sustainably.

用信息理解人类的体现和对话基础：可持续发展观

在这篇概念性论文中，我认为诠释学现象学关于人在世界中的观点可以为理解我们在世界中与各种信息的体现性、对话性的生活方式奠定前提。这为我们提供了应对信息密集型世界发展的伦理立场，并指出了我们作为人类的局限性。首先，我阐述了现象学在图书馆与信息研究（LIS）领域的隐性和显性痕迹。随后，我继续阐述了如何通过马丁-海德格尔（Martin Heidegger），1985 年和汉斯-格奥尔格-伽达默尔（Hans-Georg Gadamer），2004 年的诠释学现象学，以及对话性，将人类及其与信息世界的关系概念化。这些概念和观念共同构成了以环境中的信息理解人类的坚实基础。最后，我解释了为什么将人类理解为具身和对话的人是至关重要和有意义的，这样才能在我们的领域中批判性地和可持续地理解和研究不同语境下的信息使用、行动和互动。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) is a leading international forum for peer-reviewed research in information science. For more than half a century, JASIST has provided intellectual leadership by publishing original research that focuses on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes. The Journal welcomes rigorous work of an empirical, experimental, ethnographic, conceptual, historical, socio-technical, policy-analytic, or critical-theoretical nature. JASIST also commissions in-depth review articles (“Advances in Information Science”) and reviews of print and other media.
