“…En établissant un parallèle entre un geste attentionnel (l'époché husserlienne) et un geste corporel (l'époché corporelle), ils agrègent ces actes comme pouvant aider à affiner la pratique de la réduction au sens phénoménologique, c'est-à-dire le fait de suspendre le rapport naturel aux phénomènes afin de laisser apparaître leurs aspects cachés. La recherche sur les modes de connaissance pourrait bénéficier de ce nouveau statut de l'expérience humaine et des sensations corporelles, ce qui est déjà bien initié par exemple dans les recherches sur le processus de « Pensée au Seuil d'Emergence » -Thinking at the Edge - (Krycka, 2015). « Pensée au Seuil d'Emergence » favorise un nouvel usage du langage pour parler de quelque chose que l'on connaît mais que l'on n'a pas encore pu verbaliser.…”

RESUME.Cet article propose une réflexion sur le statut épistémique de l'expérience vécue et du corps vivant dans les processus de connaissance, en prenant la mesure de ce que la connaissance doit à l'expérience dans toute sa richesse. L'auteure de cet article affirme que l'expérience vécue est une richesse infinie et soutient qu'une épistémologie à la première personne et des méthodes précises sont nécessaires pour mener véritablement des recherches expérientielles. Cet article a pour but de thématiser l'expérience, en particulier les sensations corporelles, comme un moyen de rejoindre le Vivant comme source de connaissances. L'enjeu d'une telle proposition est non seulement épistémologique, mais nourrit également un objectif éthique et sociétal.

“…He has returned to some of these epistemological issues more recently (see, for example, Gendlin, 2004 on 'carrying forward'). He has applied his experiential phenomenology not just for therapeutic purposes, but also to the context of a wider approach to research and enquiry, an approach he calls 'thinking at the edge' (Krycka, 2006). The present article builds on this foundation.…”

Embodied interpretation: a novel way of evocatively re-presenting meanings in phenomenological research

This article contributes to a growing trend in articulating an aesthetic phenomenology that exercises more evocative and poetic forms of writing. Our task is to give ontological weight to our common humanity, thereby facilitating experiences of recognition and `homecoming'. This developing trend could benefit from Gendlin's philosophy of the body and his practice of `focusing', which finds words that carry forward the textural dimensions of experience. We apply this practice of embodied interpretation to research about caring for a lifelong partner with Alzheimer's disease. We conclude that the value of embodied interpretation is that it serves the kind of knowledge that is particularly important in human sciences — it provides understandings that live in ways that touch both `head' and `heart'.

“…The assumed 'superiority' of the mind is observable in the tendency to dismiss not only bodies (Johnson, 2017, p. 2), but also materiality at large (Latour, 2005). To redress the inherent bias of our understanding, Gendlin develops 'thinking at the edge' (TAE) (Gendlin, 2004;Krycka, 2006), a process of generating new ideas that exceed the limitations of language through tapping into our bodily knowledge. Although I had not come across his work at the time I was preparing the performance lecture, I can with hindsight see how, in practice, I tapped into my bodily felt sensations to guide me towards fresh insights that could not be contained by the (largely medical) language of existing research on infertility.…”

This article is both an exploration and a reflection on the process of generating knowledge from an encounter with the unknown. It documents what practising the ‘ethics of the unknown’ (Eeg-Tverbakk 2016) consisted of and what insights it led to in relation to two projects: ‘Childism’ (2015), based on documents from an informant who experienced child abuse, and ‘Embodied’ (2018), a performance lecture presenting both research and lived experience of involuntary childlessness. To reflect the fluidity, multi-directionality and, at points, messiness- of the process of practising the ethics of the unknown, theory and practice are not as rigidly separated in the text as the conventions of academic publication would normally require. The text alternates analysis, the voices of the authors, as well as sound files and images designed to offer experiential glimpses into the performances and the arguments. Theoretically, the concepts outlined are inspired by quite different strands of materialist thinking (object-oriented philosophy and new materialism). The research takes liberties when relating to different philosophical concepts that have proven to be useful in the practice of staging documentary material. We are not proposing a ‘method’ but rather arguing along with Erin Manning for ‘research creation’, where methods have to be invented and developed for each project. As such, this article also places itself within the discussions on post-qualitative, non-representational and performative research.
