Art/Literary - Philosophy / L'importanza delle emozioni nello sviluppo cognitivo umano
Italian term or phrase: fa ermeneutica
Essere ascoltati significa sentire considerati e valorizzati i propri stati d’animo, le emozioni, le sensazioni e i sentimenti, ai quali diventa possibile guardare come
“ai linguaggi mediante i quali il soggetto interagisce qualitativamente con gli altri e con il mondo, fa ermeneutica della realtà e prende posizione, affronta eventi sociali e ne trae insegnamento, li utilizza come indicatori dei propri valori in relazione al proprio agire nel mondo"

Come si puo tradurre quel "fa ermeneutica"?

Explanation:
L'ermeneutica è la teoria dell'interpretazione, vedi http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/ermeneutica/
cosa che facciamo anche noi traducendo; nel tuo contesto, l'autore poteva tranquillamente dire "interpreta la realtà" o magari persino "ricerca il proprio senso della realtà".

makes reality his/her own / perceives reality


Explanation:
a version.

The problem is that "hermeneitics" and "interpretation" are by no means synonymous. Yes, "hermeneitics" is a "science" of interpretation, but a very particular (phenomenological) interpretation. They are many other forms of interpretation. Say, structuralism. As opposed to the structuralist one, hermeneutical interpretation is “knowing what something is without knowing what it is about" (structuralism tells you what it is about but doesn't know what it is). So it's not interpretation per se we're talking about here but a particular form of understanding.

places reality in a methodological framework of understanding


Explanation:
As Michael notes, hermeneutics is not strictly interpretation, but may be called a theory of interpretation or understanding, therefore one among others. I take the source here to use hermeneutics as an example of a particular approach to the interpretation or understanding of reality evident or present in the subject's choice of languages, what might be called a methodological (hermeneutic) approach. This is what I have tried to convey in the target effort : and this also links to the cognitive element of the source text theme.
