  1. Methods in postphenomenology 1 April 2014

  2. Intent of the series • To explore postphenomenological approaches to research practices • To develop the concept through multiple perspectives and disciplines • To build a network for exchange and collaboration

  3. Larger Programme • Session 1: 1 April (Today!) • James Ash, Jethro Brice • Session 2: 19 May (same time/location) • Paul Simpson, Maria Fannin • Session 3: Sometime in late June or July • TBD

  4. Phenomenology • Branch of Continental philosophy initiated by Edmund Husserl • The study of ‘phenomena’ – whatever appears in the manner in which it appears. • Paying attention to the nature of consciousness as actually experiences • David Seamon – uses phenomenology to describe the underlying, essential qualities of human experience and the world in which that experience happens

  5. Phenomenology • In tension with Descartes • Merleau-Ponty – philosopher of the body • The body is the basis and conduit of knowledge • Replaces the ‘objective’ Cartesian body with the body-as-subject - subject and object as mutual interrelation

  6. Towards postphenomenology • Peter-Paul Verbeek (Philosophy of Technology) • Verbeek, P (2008) ‘Obstetric Ultrasound and the Technological Mediation of Morality: A postphenomenological Analysis’ Human Studies,Vol 31. 1 (11-26). • Subject/Object co-shape and constitute one another. • Nonrepresentational Theory (Geography) • John Wylie (Landscape Phenomenology) • Wylie, J (2007) Landscape. Routledge: London • Emma Roe • Roe, E & Greenhough, B (2013) Experimental partnering: interpreting improvisatory habits in the research field. Int’l Journal of Social Research and Methodology.

  7. Postphenomenology • Rejects ‘view from nowhere’ (per good ole phenomenology) • Moves away from essentialism and towards phenomenological structures such as ‘multistability’ (See: Don Ihde) • Non-subjectivistic (decentres human) • Interrelational ontology (co-shaping)
