“…Going back to at least Hume, memory and imagination, but perhaps not perception, have been considered experiences of so-called "mental images". We agree with Husserl's point that when we remember and imagine, we don't experience pictures in the head but we experience the images as if they are of objects that are out there (Jansen, 2010). An imagined tree isn't represented as being inside your head.…”

What makes a mental state feel like a memory: feelings of pastness and presence

The intuitive view that memories are characterized by a feeling of pastness, perceptions by a feeling of presence, while imagination lacks either faces challenges from two sides. Some researchers complain that the “feeling of pastness” is either unclear, irrelevant or isn’t a real feature. Others point out that there are cases of memory without the feeling of pastness, perception without presence, and other cross-cutting cases. Here we argue that the feeling of pastness is indeed a real, useful feature, and although this feeling does not define memory ontologically, it is a characteristic marker which helps us easily categorise a mental state first-personally. We outline several cognitive features that underlie this experience, including the feeling of past accessibility, ergonomic significance, immersion, objectivity and mental strength. Our account is distinctly phenomenal, rather than doxastic, although our web of beliefs may contribute to this experience.

“…the specific character of phantasy. What is accomplished in and through phantasy is not picture apprehension, but rather 'simulation' of possible experience (Jansen 2010). In it we do not experience the same kind of conflict between two object apprehensions.…”

“…Given that my interest here concerns the methodological role of phantasy rather than Husserl's efforts to uncover its phenomenological essence and hence distinctiveness vis-à-vis positional acts and imagistic consciousness-and given that my overarching aim is to bring out the continuity with Fanon-I switch between the two terms. For lucid accounts of Husserl's phenomenological investigations into the precise nature of phantasy see Jansen (2010) and Carreño Cobos (2013). 20 This distinction, standard in the literature, interestingly does not exhaust the scope of Husserl's thinking on the imagination.…”

“The giving birth of a world”: Fanon, Husserl, and the imagination

This article examines the role of the imagination in Fanon's and Husserl's work in order to rethink Fanon's relationship with Husserlian phenomenology. I begin with an investigation of the oft‐overlooked ways in which the imagination appears in Wretched of the Earth. Here, I argue that Fanon puts a great deal of stock in the imagination, ultimately calling upon this faculty in order to presage the novel ways of being, thinking, and acting, which are a recurrent signature of his vision of decolonization. In the latter half of the article, I then offer an account of the decisive methodological significance of the imagination within Husserl's work. Revisiting the methodological infrastructure of phenomenology with Fanonian concerns in mind casts Husserl's project in a surprising new light, bringing to the fore the revolutionary potential of both the epoché and the method of eidetic variation. For at the core of Husserlian methodology lies a resolve to exceed the limits of our present empirical reality—a leitmotiv of Fanon's own thinking. I ultimately show that Fanon's work can thus be imagined as a reactivation, indeed a revolution, inaugurated at the heart of phenomenology and its most basic methodological commitments.
