Le corps vécu et l’expérience du handicap
2008
RésuméCet article fait état d’un dialogue avec M. Marcel Nuss, atteint depuis l’enfance d’une grave amyotrophie spinale, à propos de l’expérience du corps vécu. Il s’agit d’abord de décrire la manière dont une personne ordinaire ressent son corps, notamment par l’intermédiaire de la phénoménologie de Maurice Merleau-Ponty, puis de confronter certaines hypothèses à l’expérience d’une personne en situation de handicap. Le corps vécu ou corps propre désigne ici une expérience consciente du corps comme puissance d’action au sens de Merleau-Ponty, comme enveloppe corporelle au sens de D. Anzieu, enfin comme unité proprioceptive. Nous nous demanderons dans quelle mesure nous pouvons approcher l’e…
Dialogue sur le handicap : réciprocité et altérité
2017
This dialogue is not one between a lecturer in philosophy (Pierre Ancet) questioning a person in a situation of physical dependency (Marcel Nuss), but a dialogue between two full-fledged authors. In this exchange the organic deficiency constitutes only the specific character of an individual’s experience, which is to be described without making it a pathology. Disability is considered in its organic, psychological and social dimension, as an incapacitating constraint, but also as a potential vector to discover nonstandard capacities. Among these capacities, the authors stress the consciousness of time and of the body, particularly unexpected as this consciousness is examined by an entirely …
On the transcendental undercurrents of phenomenology: the case of the living body
2021
AbstractToday the phenomenological concept of the lived body figures centrally in several philosophical and special scientific debates. In these wide and widening fields, the concept is used with multiple different meanings. In order to clarify and delineate the debates, this paper provides an explication of the phenomenological-transcendental methods. It argues that these methods help us remove the most fundamental ambiguities of the concept of embodiment by distinguishing between the main constituents of the lived body and by illuminating their mutual relations.
The Four Dimensions of Embodiment and the Experience of Illness
2018
In this paper I will try to systematically lay out and describe the multiple dimensions of the embodied experience of illness, which until recently has been the main focus within the field of the phenomenology of medicine. In order to do this, I will turn to analysis of the nature of embodiment in Husserl’s phenomenology. I will argue that based on Husserl’s phenomenology of the body, one can distinguish four ways of experiencing one’s body, or four dimensions of embodiment. I will distinguish between experience of one’s body as 1) a bearer of sensations (the affective dimension of embodiment); 2) a seat of free movement, characterized by the faculty of “I can” (the functional dimension of …
Phenomenological perspectives on self-care in aging.
2013
Olle SöderhamnCenter for Caring Research- Southern Norway, Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Agder, Grimstad, NorwayAbstract: Self-care is a central concept in health care and may be considered as a means to maintain, restore, and improve one's health and well-being. When performed effectively, self-care contributes not only to human functioning but also to human structural integrity and human development (ie, to a dynamic and holistic state of health). Self-care as a clinical concept is relevant for health care professionals, and it should be meaningful to investigate it at a philosophical level and to further elaborate upon this concept. The aim of this …
Sense experience and differentiation : Husserl on bodily awareness
2023
This article outlines the basic ingredients of Husserl’s theory of bodily awareness. It first analyses the concepts of hyletic and kinesthetic sensibility, and illustrates the interwovenness and equiprimordiality of Me and not-Me in Husserl’s account. Second, it shows how the concept of the lived body emerges from this complex sensible foundation. Thirdly, it argues that, as the area of intersection between the Me and the not-Me, bodily awareness is the initial locus of differentiation between Me and not-Me: an area where the experiential distinction between the Me and the not-Me is constantly negotiated. peerReviewed
La differenza femminile alla luce della fenomenologia. A partire da Hedwig Conrad-Martius
2018
The paper aims at presenting the theoretical pathway of one of Husserl's first students, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, and the influence she had first of all on Edith Stein, secondarily on Gerda Walther. The underlying research question could be summarized as follows: is it possible to trace a specific female perspective on phenomenology? The essay shows how the three phenomenologists considered are united by the interest, of great importance for pedagogy, for the theme of personhood and the constant attempt to study the human soul, in its relationship with the lived body but above all with the attention always devoted to a specific consideration of the spiritual dimension. The paper aims at prese…
