melaluiBeingintheworld

melaluiBeingintheworld is a coined term used in Indonesian-language philosophical and cultural discourse to describe a through-the-world approach to human existence. The phrase blends melalui, an Indonesian preposition meaning through or via, with Being-in-the-world (In-der-Welt-Sein), a foundational concept in the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger. In practice, the term signals an analytic orientation that treats everyday life and practical involvement as constitutive of Being, rather than as mere context for it.

Drawing on Heidegger's account of Dasein as being-in-the-world, melaluiBeingintheworld emphasizes that human beings disclose meaning through their practical activities, relationships, tools, and environment. It foregrounds concepts such as thrownness, care (Sorge), and anticipation, and it challenges dualisms between subject and world. In this frame, inquiry proceeds through observation of ordinary practices, artifacts, and settings.

Used in philosophy pedagogy, literary and cultural criticism, design anthropology, and qualitative research, the term often appears as a methodological stance or project label. It may inform curricula, workshops, or exhibitions that seek to illustrate how meaning emerges from everyday engagement rather than from abstract theorization alone.

As a coined term, melaluiBeingintheworld lacks a single formal definition or canon; it is used variably to signal alignment with phenomenology and existential analysis in Indonesian discourse. Related concepts include Being-in-the-world, Dasein, phenomenology, and Heidegger's writings.
