ABSTRACT.
According
to
the five commentaries (Kim, Eells & Stiles, Rosenbaum, Molina
&
del Rio, and Gratier), the author tries to clarify the main cultural
concept of utushi and ma. The work of utushi is
discussed in its four
aspects-- in terms of affect, mimesis, reflection and cognitive change.
Ma
activates a proto-conversation that involves the tonus—a subtle sense
of change
on body sensation-- in the therapeutic relationship. These concepts are
useful
for discussing the creative function of dialogical self, especially the
positioning of the other, the control of the self, and the temporal
flow in the
therapeutic relationship. |
