Abstract

This study discusses the reader's understanding of text based on intentionality, the main conceptof phenomenology. In phenomenology, intentionality is defined as 'conscious relationship of selftowards object'. When applied to reading, it becomes the reader's conscious relationship to the text. In this sense, reading is a matter of how the consciousness of the reader's self is related to the textcontent. This discussion explains the reader's text comprehension activities based on Lee Nam In's(2004) discussion of phenomenology and hermeneutics. the reader's consciousness includes thesubject of reading, the reader's self, and the reader's contents. The relationship between the readerand the text occurs when the reader focuses on the content of the text. The activity of thisconsciousness is divided into sensory, perception, composition, transcendence. Sensory is the activityin which the reading subject creates consciousness about each part of the text in consciousness. perception is the activity in which the reading subject creates the unified consciousness of the entiretext. Construction is the activity by which the reader finds the essence of the textual content. Transcendence is an activity of newly generating consciousness content composed by the readingsubject. In the process of consciousness activity, the reading subject parallels the consciousness ofthe text with the consciousness of the reader's self. The consciousness of the text is then used as amirror to create self-consciousness. This sequence of consciousness changes the reader's self byhaving a new content. In this process of text understanding, Intentional actions such as the pursuitof self-transcendence, focusing on conscious relationships, and having a phenomenological attitudeare achieved. Through these Intentional actions, the reader can change the consciousness content ofthe self. Intentionality in reading allows readers' understanding of text as an activity of generatingself-consciousness.
