Rituals of (Dis)Regard and Mindfulness
Rasha Diab
Composition Forum, v54 2024
This article explores the transformative potential of mindfulness and rituals of regard, drawing inspiration from bell hooks's insights on communities of care. Focusing on the intersection of epistemology, ontology, and pedagogy, I investigate how mindfulness can serve as a liberatory pedagogy, challenging Cartesian legacies and fostering relational selves. Through storytelling and cross-cultural meditations, I illuminate the limitations of traditional pedagogies and the expansive possibilities of mindfulness. By examining concepts like the reconciled self and without-thinking, rooted in Arabic-Islamic and Buddhist traditions, I highlight the power of mindful attention and regard. This piece navigates the tension between critique and affirmation, emphasizing the importance of non-self and regard in mindfulness practices. Ultimately, it underscores the role of mindfulness in shaping both individual and collective narratives, offering pathways to freedom and connection.
