Περίληψη: | "During military exercises, crisis situations give the participants mood experiences.
By exploring the concept of “mood”, our aim is to contribute to the development
of new interaction theory. We will explore three perspectives related to mood
and the possibility of changing mood: (1) A Mood-Based Perspective: Heidegger
ascribes moods a fundamental role in human life. Before a human being can think
or feel something, he or she is already attuned, already in a mood that structures
how reality appears to them; (2) A Rhetorical Perspective: Even though Heidegger
understands moods as a non-thematized horizon, our moods can nevertheless be
changed. Here we elaborate on Aristotle’s ideas on rhetoric as the first systematic
hermeneutics of the interacting, everyday human being; and (3) A Pedagogical
Perspective: Pedagogy here refers to learning about the development of humans in
society. An existential part of human existence is to sense moods and be attuned
to “the other”. Then we have the possibility of changing the mood and establishing
harmony. Finally, a conceptual model is presented to show the theoretical and practical
implications beyond the military exercise that has been the point of departure
for this text."
