An Object of Recognition versus an Object of Encounter:
An object of recognition
reconfirms our knowledge, beliefs and values – our understanding remains the
same. It is a representation of something always already in place; it is simply
there; nothing changes and no thought takes place. An object of encounter, on the other hand, forces
thought; it operates as a rupture in our habitual modes of being and thus in
our habitual subjectivities. With this; however, also comes the affirmation of a
new way of thinking. These encounters are a fundamental part of life, occurring
beyond representation.
