The blue jacket is part of the World Clothes for Equal Dignity project. The text for this video has been written by Brian Ward. Here is the full text: "Hello! My name is Evelin Lindner and I have committed my life to engaging with people and communities around the world to end the cycles of violence resulting from people humiliating or putting other people down. To protect our planet for future generations we all need to hold hands in equal dignity and lead each other towards a peaceful, sustainable and a richly diverse global community. Your knowledge, experiences, creativity and inspiration is needed wherever it might be as without your help the journey to peace and sustainability will take so much longer. If you are able to join our network of friends on this wonderful journey please have a look at the opportunities in this website and let us know! Thank you very much!"

| With the pictures you see further down, I tried to document not only the wonderful Norwegian landscape, but also how traditional Norwegian farm buildings are organically placed within their surroundings (Hroar Klempe refers to Goethe's notion of "organisch"). In contrast, cabins for tourists are often built in a kind of chess board fashion (I associate this design with "military camp" design). I suggest that also the cabins for tourists follow the organic approach. This would honour and dignify both Norwegian tradition, Norwegian landscape, and its guests (humanising the way humans use their environment). See also the pictures further down ("Driving from Oslo to Trondheim and back in October 2007"). |

| Silesia and Thuringia, 13th-20th September 2007, together with my parents. Both of my parents were displaced from Silesia after WWII (see an overview over the history of Silesia and over the expulsion), and, even though they are still mourning the loss of their homeland, they were full of admiration for the Polish achievements, such as the restorations of what had been destroyed during WWII. 1. My father: See the picture on the top left (my father, ca. 15 years old, on his horse Rex).

| Diane Summer kindly invited me into her home in Montville, at the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane, for the weekend 11th/12th August 2007. The picture on the left is taken in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. Their brochure says: "The natural jewel of the Sunshine Coast," is situated in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It comprises 52 hectares of National Estate listed subtropical rainforest overlooking the Glass House Mountains. A remnant of the rainforests that once covered the Blackall Range, formed from volcanic activity 29 million years ago, the Reserve is a living museum of diverse plant and animal life... The first application for land on the Maleny Plateau was made by Isaac Burgess on 12th November, 1878. A parcel of this land was bought by the Hon. Andrew Joseph Thynne in 1902. In 1941 three of Thynne's daughters, Mabel, Mary and Elizabeth, gifted 40 hectares of rainforest from this land parcel to the public, in trust Elizabeth Thynne gave a further two heactures in 1966. This was to honour the memory of their mother Mary Thynne (nee Cairncross) an early conservation campaigner who died in 1918. The deeds required the land to be kept as a nature reserve."

On 17th April 2007, together with Zhang Xuan (Aggie) and her boy-friend Maji, I visited the hotel where I had stayed when I was in Hangzhou for the first time, in 1983. At that time there was only one hotel of significance in Hangzhou, and it was called Hangzhou Hotel. I stayed in the inexpensive dormitory that was part of Hangzhou Hotel at that time, alongside single and double rooms. Today, former Hangzhou Hotel has transformed into luxurious Shangri-la Hotel! Please click on the picture on the left side or here to see more photos. On 18th April 2007, Aggie, Ma Ji, and I visited wonderful Lingyin Temple, the famous Buddhist caves and rock carvings near it, and the mountain behind. Lingyin temple is one of the largest and wealthiest temples in China, originally founded in 326 AD. Despite some damage inflicted, the temple and grounds escaped destruction during the Cultural Revolution because of the protection of Premier Zhou Enlai. Today the temple is a thriving tourist attraction. Please click on the second picture from the left or here to see more photos. From Lingyin Temple, we wandered off to neighbouring temples. Please click on the third picture from the left or here to see more photos. At the end, we walked up the mountain behind Lingyin Temple, overlooking Hangzhou!

| Sumo Tournament in Osaka, 11th-25th March 2007. See me with Hakuho (left) and Kaio (right)! Please read more about Sumo here. Watch the tournament live online. The Sumo tradition, to me, demonstrates starkly many of the benign and malign aspects that hierarchical societal structures introduced into human society everywhere on the planet during the past 10,000 years of human history (benign: exercise of considerate restraint/malign: status undermining quality of life, see also my SIETAR lecture). The event itself showed to me most touchingly how much of deeply humane passion is hidden behind the faces of my Japanese friends who are rather restrained most of the time - at the end, the audience threw their cushions into the ring, so captivated were they by the final bout ("number one," Asashoryu, losing...)! I have never before seen so much publicly displayed passion in Japan! Watch this, in case it occurs, online just before 6 pm local time during one of the six tournaments per year!

7th Annual Meeting of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies

| The pictures you see further down were taken in connection with the World Design for Equal Dignity project, where, among others, the role of chairs for status and health is discussed. The important point in this context is that Western design is rather uniform and has forgotten the use of multiple levels and various spaces. Western style presses its users into a rather narrow range of how to use the body and design relationships. This narrow range rigidifies the body and separates it from others, and this is not necessarily the optimal way of preserving one's health or one's social relationships. Introducing cultural variety and being aware that the range of possibilities is much wider than Western design allows for, would be beneficial. Please see Avoiding Humiliation - From Intercultural Communication to Global Interhuman Communication, an article by Lindner that argues that we need to "harvest" the beneficial practices from all cultures (and de-select the less beneficial). |

| The pictures above are taken in the State Library of Queensland, slq, in August 2007. It opened in 2006. Please click here or on the pictures to see more photos. This library offers great spaces to visitors. See here the 1st floor, where visitors can sit and use their own laptops or the library's computers as they wish. Wireless access to the Internet is available everywhere. All is free of charge. The range of opportunities as to how to work is formidable. One can sit either on the floor, or on banks, or on chairs, or even work while standing. The versatility that is made possible is outstanding. |
 |
| The picture above was taken in Japan (Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto, August 20, 2006). It shows four levels of potential sitting-"platforms": 1) the very floor, which in this case is not used for sitting, 2) a large platform with tatami mats, low tables, and cushions to sit on (to the left), 3) a smaller platform with two cushions and a low table in the middle for only two people to sit (to the right), and 4) in the foreground (not visible on this picture), there are two Western-type tables with four chairs each. |
|
| These are two pictures from Japan, where you see the low table and the futon bedding on tatami mats in an Onsen hotel in 2007. |
 |
| The above picture shows a Moroccan chaiselounge. Any website on Moroccan furniture demonstrates the use of the floor for sitting, on floor cushions or puffs, up to having the floor platform "elevated and cut up" into all types of benches, sofas, or, as in this case, a chaiselounge. See a selection of items, for example, on Just Morocco. |

| Please see the HumanDHS World Clothes for Equal Dignity project. Toji Temple’s Kobo-ichi (also known as Kobo-san) is the most renowned market to see traditional Japanese clothes. Kobo-san is a festival day and outdoor market fair that takes place on the 21st day of every month on the grounds of Toji Temple (not far from JR Kyoto Station). The reason for this monthly date is that March 21st is the anniversary of temple founder Kobo Daishi’s death in 835 AD., so a lot of people who want to pray to his spirit for help visit the temple on that day.

| I find it interesting that in Japanese history unfairly treated aristocrats were "rewarded" by being elevated to the level of Gods. Humiliation is "healed" by divination, so-to-speak, or, more precisely, its destructive outflows are mitigated by divination. See here the Shimo Goryo Shrine, Teramachi-dori, Kyoto, near the Imperial Palace. Please click on the picture or here to see more. On the sign at the entrance one can read: "According to the shrine's history, the establishment was in 839 in order to calm down the spirits of the imperial prince Iyo (son of Emperor Kammu) and his mother Fujiwara Yoshiko who died in 809 suffering adverse fortune (eventually, the number of deities of this shrine was increased to eight). Another noble, Sugawara no Michizane (born in 845 AD), who was a high-ranking imperial court minister and a brilliant calligrapher and scholar, was treated likewise. Political rivalries forced him to be exiled to distant Kyushu, where he died. After Michizane’s death, a series of disasters in the imperial capital were attributed to his angry spirit and he was appeased by being made a god known as Tenjin, and he is now revered as the god of learning. I saw "Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy" on 20th April 2006 at the National Bunraku Theatre in Osaka (see pictures further down), where his story is told (please read the story here and about bunraku in general here). Please read more reflections by Lindner here: English version, Japanese translation. |

| Bunraku, or Japanese puppet theatre, is probably the most developed form of puppetry in the world and recognised by UNESCO. I saw "Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy" on 20th April 2006 at the National Bunraku Theatre in Osaka (please read the story here and about bunraku in general here). Honor, loyalty, and humiliation are central themes, and redemption is sought through ritual suicide and sacrifice of one's own children. The bunraku narrators convey emotions in ways that are unparalleled and profoundly educational from the point of view of psychological inquiry: "evil laugh," deep sorrow and despair are performed in intensely touching ways. Please read more reflections by Lindner here: English version, Japanese translation. One narrator was 81 years old, a "living cultural heritage." The pictures here depict a "warrior," a "maiden" and how the puppeteers handle the puppets (the pictures are taken from a web site on Japanese culture). |

| These pictures were at first posted on my main page, but have elicited mixed reactions and year-long discussions. As a solution, the pictures were moved away from the main page to this page that is dedicated to pictures. Some pointed out that these pictures distracted people from the HumandDHS's vision and mission, and furthermore diminished my academic and professional credibility. These people recommended that the pictures ought to be taken off this page immediately. Others asked for these pictures to remain, saying that esthetics are part, or ought to be part, of the notion of dignity. These voices pointed out that I am indeed not only an academician, but also an artistical person and that my appearance expresses a novel style of esthetics, proud and autonomous , beyond average categories (see also the World Clothes for Equal Dignity project or the World Design for Equal Dignity project). They deplored that women, at least in certain social contexts, are forced into a dichotomoy of choices; either the cute and rather "dumb" "toy," defined and "decorated" by others, or the woman who is respected for her intelligence and agency, however, who has to "prove" this by some degree of "ugliness." When asked what I thought, I had mixed reactions. I do not like to promote myself for the sake of just my own self, and thus I would have liked that these pictures never were uploaded. If I had created the website myself in the first place, I would not have placed these pictures here. Later, I learned how to maintain this website and started doing it myself. At that point, I indeed wanted to take the pictures off. Yet, as I met clear opposition, as a compromise, I took off some pictures - those that I felt were too private - and I left those you see on this page. My personal aim is indeed to go beyond mainstream categories of esthetics, and of "maleness" and "femaleness," and transcend the notion of what is regarded as "serious" and what not. I am a highly esthetic person, who feels that both, men and women, currently underuse their potential for creating personal esthetics beyond average patterns. I would like to encourage people, with my example, to take the notion of personal dignity seriously and develop an esthetical approach to self that expresses individual personality in more creative ways than "fashion" can achieve. This is an option that is open for anybody and that can be achieved even with a minimum of resources. In February 2006, a reader of our website wrote the following: "the problem with the photos of evelin lindner is simply the number of them. I really think you should take all except one of them off, right now, not because it makes the site seem less 'academic' - I don't think such discussions should be limited to academics - but because it makes the site look like a celebrity showcase for one individual. I feel this strongly because your project is crucial. Humiliation is the key issue in global politics today, and there's a desperate need for a thoughtful site like this. I would hope it could be become a real forum for contributions from all over the world and particularly from the middle east. I just don't think that'll happen as long as those photos remain." Following this message, I moved the pictures from my main page to this pictures page. Evelin, Tokyo, 10th February 2006 |
