The Phenomenology of Loss: A Two-Day Workshop
This workshop is part of the AHRC-funded project ‘Grief: A Study of Human Emotional Experience’ (www.griefyork.com). We are said to experience “loss” in a variety of circumstances, including bereavement, the breakup of a relationship, loss of a home or job, chronic illness, and serious injury. Feelings of loss can also relate to missed opportunities, lost possibilities, the failure to become someone or something, and conditions such as chronic loneliness and depression. This workshop sets out to explore the phenomenology of loss in all its complexity and diversity. Issues to be addressed include whether and how grief over a death differs phenomenologically from wider experiences of loss, whether any features are shared by all forms of loss, how loss relates to absence and emptiness, the emotional character of loss, the objects of loss experiences, the extent to which human lives are shaped by a sense of loss, and whether certain kinds of loss are insufficiently acknowledged.
