Journal of Dialogue Studies Volume 2 Number 2
Dialogue Society

The Journal of Dialogue Studies aims to provide a platform for intellectually rigorous engagement with dialogue from a wide range of academic disciplines, and in relation to dialogue as conducted in a wide variety of contexts. This issue of the journal has a particular emphasis on some of the contexts of dialogue. This begins with Geoffrey Klempner’s paper on “Philosophy, Ethics and Dialogue”. This may at first appear an unusual paper to open with as it seems to be less contextualised than the others in this edition of the journal. But Klempner roots his broader discussion and critique of the relationship between philosophy, ethics and dialogue by drawing on his 20 years of experience with students taking courses with Pathways to Philosophy, including one who was a prisoner on Death Row in Texas, in the USA. From this experience and the engagement of it with wider theoretical discussions concerning ethics and dialogue, Klempner concludes that learning how to conduct ethical dialogue is somewhat similar to learning how to dance, in that it cannot be taught and learned from a book: one can only learn ethical dialogue by actually and contextually engaging in ethical dialogue. Andrew Orton’s paper on “The Ethical Dimensions of Dialogue Between Policymakers: Learning Through Interaction Over Migrant Integration Dilemmas” includes a contextual reference to locality: in this instance the dilemmas faced in relation to the integration of migrants within particular localities in different national contexts. But the focus of the paper is on dialogue around these challenges when policymakers from different countries engage with each other, and how such dialogue can contribute towards the generation of shared learning that can improve local outcomes. This includes particular attention to the importance of the ethical dimensions of such dialogues. Simon Robinson’s paper “Integrity and Dialogue” uses a methodical, clear structure to set out traditional definitions of integrity, into which he weaves conceptions of dialogue. This highlights the challenges of having such fixed perceptions of integrity when examined alongside the diverse and socially engaged field of dialogue. By using both the Mid Staffs Hospital Trust case and Shakespeare’s Henry V as examples, Robinson provides a springboard from which he can scrutinise both theoretical and practical applications (and failures) of the integrity-dialogue relationship. The author succeeds in coalescing old and new, fictitious and real sources in dialogue to illustrate that such pluralist discourse should be approached with a view to encompass multitudinous perspectives, not to reinforcing rigid definitions. As with Orton’s paper on “The Ethical Dimensions of Dialogue”, Ronald C. Arnett’s paper on “Civic Dialogue: Attending to Locality and Recovering Monologue” also integrates a contextual reference to locality. It does so through exploring the broader thematic of “civic dialogue” that focuses within such dialogue on the importance of locality and also the importance of what the author, in a word that might initially challenge the reader of a paper about “dialogue”, calls “monologue”. By the latter, he means not a style of communication but the substance of particularity that is brought to a dialogical process, and without which there can be no dialogue. In illustrating this he refers to Scottish Enlightenment and draws upon Adam Ferguson’s historical work on civil society. Abraham Rudnick, Priya Subramanian, Hazel Meredith and Juna Lea Cizman’s paper on “Involving Disadvantaged People in Dialogue: Arguments and Examples from Mental Health Care” unpacks some of the issues involved in a context for dialogue that involves significant imbalances of power by reference to this particular group of disadvantaged people, in relation to whom issues of informed choice and participation can be posed in quite acute ways. The paper does this via discussion of two clinical scenarios that seek to highlight differences in clinical and personal recovery outcomes when informed by the presence or absence of dialogue within mental health care. Abdoulaye Gaye paper on “ ‘Stir It Up’: Contestation and the Dialogue in the Artistic Practice of the Twin of Twins” focuses on the context of Jamaican dancehalls and what is widely acknowledged to be their embodiment of a “resistance culture”. This includes aspects of the local versus the global; of culture versus slackness; of uptown versus downtown; and of popular culture versus high culture. Within this context of a “live” cultural environment and, by connecting it with wider theoretical understandings, the paper illustrates the dialectical relationship between the discourses of the dominant and dominated classes in relation to the artistic practice of the Twin of Twins DJs. In addition to its normal peer reviewed academic papers, this issue of the journal is also the first also to include a new section of pieces that provide a platform for preliminary reflection on dialogical practice of a kind in which the provisionality of the contributions is acknowledged and dialogical engagement is invited from the readers. The editorial team will keep this new feature under review, but for the moment have decided that this offers an additional dimension to what the journal is able to offer and achieve. This edition of the journal therefore includes Turan Kayaoglu’s piece on “Dialogue 2.0: A Call for Interfaith Service and Action”. It elaborates on a paper he delivered at the United Nations Human Rights Council, Geneva, and focuses on the debates surrounding the successful promotion of religious tolerance. Drawing together this experience, Kayaoglu emphasises the unity between member states on the necessity for intercultural dialogue, and offers his own solution for dispelling religious intolerance. Also included is Fred Dallmayr’s piece on “Reflection on Dialogue” which comes out of his experience as Co-Chair of the World Public Forum “Dialogue of Civilizations”, on the basis of which he addresses aspects of the historical, cultural and intellectual background of dialogue; the role of dialogue today in the context of “globalization”; and the purpose and meaning of dialogue. As usual, the journal concludes with reviews of two new publications relevant to the journal’s focus. In the spirit of that which the journal seeks also to study, we welcome dialogical feedback from our readers on the continuing development of the journal.

PHILOSOPHY OF DIALOGUE: A HISTORICAL AND SYSTEMATIC INTRODUCTION
Ilya Dvorkin

Dvorkin I. Philosophy of Dialogue: a historical and systematic introduction. // Judaica Petropolitana. № 13. (2020), pp. 6-24.

The question about the philosophy of dialogue can be answered in three complementary senses: historical, systematic, and applied. The philosophy of dialogue arose in the 1920s in Germany and Russia. The works of Rosenzweig, Buber, Ebner, Bakhtin should be mentioned as the most important works introducing the philosophy of dialogue as a special line of thought. However, dialogical ideas have been expressed before. We consider the works of Hermann Cohen written in 1902–1918 to be a particularly important source of the philosophy of dialogue. Later, the philosophy of dialogue was significantly developed in the works of E. Levinas in France and V. Bibler in the Soviet Union. This philosophical current was studied and developed by scholars and thinkers in Germany, Israel, USA, Russia and other countries. In a systematic sense, the philosophy of dialogue can be viewed as a kind of “first philosophy” that interprets reality as a dialogue of persons. The philosophy of dialogue deals with first, second and third persons singular, and first person plural and their relationships. Reality is understood as a dynamic process of interpersonal relationships. Speech and language are interpreted not as a way of formulating thoughts, but as a fundamental carrier of interpersonal relations. The philosophy of dialogue is formulated by its creators as a language, speech or grammatical philosophy. Since reality is interpreted in it as an interpersonal process, the philosophy of dialogue ives rise to original understanding of the nature of space, time, causality, biological, mental and social life. The philosophy of dialogue removes the contradiction between the humanities and natural sciences; it also forms new methods of historical research. Considering the interpersonal process fundamental, the philosophy of dialogue becomes an important foundation of edagogy both in theoretical and practical dimensions.

Studying Dialogue – Some Reflections
Dialogue Society

In this paper, I would like to share some thoughts provoked by the idea of establishing 'dialogue studies' as a distinct academic field, as suggested in the inaugural call for contributions to the new journal. These are not meant to be exhaustive of all the relevant questions that could be considered under this heading. I do not, for example, consider the question of disciplinary contributions or boundaries. My emphasis, rather, is on questions to do with ethos and coherence. In particular, I am interested in exploring the possibility, and the challenges, of cultivating a dialogic approach to the study of dialogue itself. My reflections begin with a look at the tendency, within academia, to privilege debate as a form of communication and the question of whether we might conceive a Journal of Dialogue Studies as a forum for a different kind of exchange. I then reflect on some of the difficulties of studying dialogue itself, particularly where this involves outside observers. The final section raises some issues around 'studying dialogue' in relation to teaching, learning and assessment. My overall intention here is to share some current, tentative thoughts in the hope that this contributes to a dialogue on the idea, and perhaps the practice, of 'dialogue studies'.

Future Directions and Discipline Formation for ‘Dialogue Studies’: Reflections on Critically Analyzing ‘Dialogue’ in Theory and Practice
Dialogue Society

In considering the need for a newly formed research area, or emergent discipline, of 'dialogue studies' this paper will explore three interrelated themes: the concept of 'dialogue studies' and its parameters and framing as an emergent discipline; the potential benefits of such a discipline to practice and policy; and the importance of critically understanding the cultural and epistemological context of 'dialogue' and its role in living with not only diversity, but difference. Whilst recognizing that there is a clear practice-driven need for the development of an area of research under the banner of 'dialogue studies' and that there are existing bodies of research, which such a field can effectively build on, this paper argues that the development of dialogue studies as a field cannot simply bring together and augment existing discourses, but needs to create new perspectives by adopting a multidisciplinary approach. It is also postulated that there is a need to develop an internal critical discourse within 'dialogue studies' which builds reflexivity into future research development and that ultimately any research undertaken in this area has to be both beneficial and supportive of practice, whilst also clearly articulating its successes and failures.

The possibilities and limits to dialogue
Lauren Rickards

Dialogues in Human Geography

In this article, we explore the nature, value, and challenges of dialogue both within and outside the academy. After considering the possibilities and limits to dialogue, we divide our analysis into three sections, first discussing dialogue as a form of embodied action, next examining dialogue as a means of enacting a critically affirmative politics, and finally exploring the challenges of engaging in dialogue as a way of practicing public geographies. In each case, we raise a number of questions concerning the potential of, and limitations to, dialogue in an age of increasing social tensions and political divides. We conclude by suggesting that although there are times when dialogical disengagement is warranted if the conditions of possibility for meaningful dialogue are unfulfilled, scholarly dialogue continues to play an important role in fostering spaces of mutual engagement in a polarized age.

Dialogue Studies
Donal Carbaugh

The study of dialogue is a way to open several intellectual arenas for investigation while at the same time offering insights into multiple scenes of practical yet culturally diverse human practices. This article reviews several such arenas including studies of dialogue as a culturally distinctive form of communication, dialogue as an approach to understanding social practices, dialogic ethics and also dialogue as an integrative view of not only cultural practice but also natural environments. Throughout, dialogue studies are cast as a broad field with distinct disciplines within it, as holding deep value for understanding diversity in peoples' practices, as a potential aid in helping diverse peoples coordinate their efforts together through policies, government actions, and other institutions, and as a way of monitoring not only interactions among people but also their ecological environments. In the end, the promise of dialogue studies must proceed cautiously and humbly with the assumption that human endeavors are always limited to particular peoples and places. And move onward we will, dialogically informed.

Journal of Dialogue Studies Volume 3 Number 1 Editorial Introduction
Dialogue Society

In providing a platform for intellectually rigorous engagement with dialogue, undertaken from starting points in a wide range of academic disciplines and in relation to a wide variety of contexts, the Journal of Dialogue Studies presents editions that seek to focus on particular aspects of dialogue and its conduct. Bearing in mind a phrase from the journal’s overall working proposition that at the heart of dialogue is a ‘meaningful interaction and exchange between people’, because of its involvement with people, dialogue almost inevitably entails ethical dimensions. Therefore this edition of the journal seeks to open up and critically explore some of the ethical dimensions of dialogue, from various disciplinary perspectives and with reference to various contexts. In addressing this, contributions are made by writers with backgrounds in various national contexts including Israel, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Journal of Dialogue Studies Volume 1 Number 1 Paper 3: Studying Dialogue – Some Reflections
Dialogue Society

In this paper, I would like to share some thoughts provoked by the idea of establishing ‘dialogue studies’ as a distinct academic field, as suggested in the inaugural call for contributions to the new journal. These are not meant to be exhaustive of all the relevant questions that could be considered under this heading. I do not, for example, consider the question of disciplinary contributions or boundaries. My emphasis, rather, is on questions to do with ethos and coherence. In particular, I am interested in exploring the possibility, and the challenges, of cultivating a dialogic approach to the study of dialogue itself. My reflections begin with a look at the tendency, within academia, to privilege debate as a form of communication and the question of whether we might conceive a Journal of Dialogue Studies as a forum for a different kind of exchange. I then reflect on some of the difficulties of studying dialogue itself, particularly where this involves outside observers. The final section raises some issues around ‘studying dialogue’ in relation to teaching, learning and assessment. My overall intention here is to share some current, tentative thoughts in the hope that this contributes to a dialogue on the idea, and perhaps the practice, of ‘dialogue studies’.

Journal of Dialogue Studies Volume 1 Number 1 Paper 1: On Dialogue Studies
Dialogue Society, Donal Carbaugh

The study of dialogue is a way to open several intellectual arenas for investigation while at the same time offering insights into multiple scenes of practical yet culturally diverse human practices. This article reviews several such arenas including studies of dialogue as a culturally distinctive form of communication, dialogue as an approach to understanding social practices, dialogic ethics and also dialogue as an integrative view of not only cultural practice but also natural environments. Throughout, dialogue studies are cast as a broad field with distinct disciplines within it, as holding deep value for understanding diversity in peoples’ practices, as a potential aid in helping diverse peoples coordinate their efforts together through policies, government actions, and other institutions, and as a way of monitoring not only interactions among people but also their ecological environments. In the end, the promise of dialogue studies must proceed cautiously and humbly with the assumption that human endeavors are always limited to particular peoples and places. And move onward we will, dialogically informed.

Journal of Dialogue Studies Volume 1 Number 1 Paper 2: Future Directions and Discipline Formation for ‘Dialogue Studies’: Reflections on Critically Analyzing ‘Dialogue’ in Theory and Practice
Dialogue Society

In considering the need for a newly formed research area, or emergent discipline, of ‘dialogue studies’ this paper will explore three interrelated themes: the concept of ‘dialogue studies’ and its parameters and framing as an emergent discipline; the potential benefits of such a discipline to practice and policy; and the importance of critically understanding the cultural and epistemological context of ‘dialogue’ and its role in living with not only diversity, but difference. Whilst recognizing that there is a clear practice-driven need for the development of an area of research under the banner of ‘dialogue studies’ and that there are existing bodies of research, which such a field can effectively build on, this paper argues that the development of dialogue studies as a field cannot simply bring together and augment existing discourses, but needs to create new perspectives by adopting a multidisciplinary approach. It is also postulated that there is a need to develop an internal critical discourse within ‘dialogue studies’ which builds reflexivity into future research development and that ultimately any research undertaken in this area has to be both beneficial and supportive of practice, whilst also clearly articulating its successes and failures.
