historische sinnstiftung historical sensemaking Explanation: Auszug aus dem Wikipedia-Artikel: Sensemaking (engl.) bzw. Sinnstiftung[1][2][3] beschreibt den Prozess, mit dem Menschen den über die Sinne ungegliedert aufgenommenen Erlebnisstrom in sinnvolle Einheiten einordnen. Je nach Einordnung der Erfahrung kann sich ein unterschiedlicher Sinn und damit eine andere Erklärung für die aufgenommenen Erlebnisse ergeben. Reference: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensemaking |
