The 'Station Journey' of Ghaisar with Husserl's 'Temporal Awareness': A reading of the poem 'Station Journey' by Aminpour based on Husserlian Phenomenology
Analyzing Aminpour's "Station Journey" through Husserl's Phenomenology
Keywords:
Phenomenology, Husserl, Time Consciousness, Eidetic Intuition, Phenomenological Criticism, Travel Station, Ghaisar AminpourAbstract
Phenomenology is one of the most important contemporary philosophical approaches, founded by Edmund Husserl, which quickly became a method for research in various fields of the humanities, including literary criticism. The phenomenologist suspends the naturalistic approach to the world and focuses on interpreting phenomena as they appear to the subject, aiming to understand and explain objects. Since artists, especially poets, describe their lived world as it appears to them, one can trace phenomenological components such as "intentionality," "epoché," the relationship between the "ego" and its lived world, and "time consciousness" in their works. Ghaisar Aminpour is a prominent contemporary Persian poet with numerous publications in both classical and modern Persian poetry. "Travel Station" is one of his modern poems that this research offers a new reading of, extracting the phenomenological components he employs to describe his lived world through an analytical-descriptive and comparative method. The results of the study indicate that Aminpour refers to "intentionality" and "ego" in this poem and addresses "eidetic intuition" in certain instances. Moreover, Husserl's "time consciousness" can be a guiding factor in analyzing this poem.
