PhD Course on “Intersubjectivity in (inter)action”

“Intersubjectivity in (inter)action:
a multisensorial phenomenon”

University of Oulu, Finland. November 23-25, 2020.

In this course for doctoral researchers (organised by Samira Ibnelkaïd and Iuliia Avgustis), the notion of intersubjectivity, as a multisensorial phenomenon, will be scrutinised through the lens of Phenomenology and its legacy on the study of Human (inter)actions (Conversation Analysis, Phenomenological Geography, Phenomenon-based Teaching and Learning, Phenomenology of Technology, etc.).

Since studying intersubjectivity, and its embodied nature, is most effective through the observation of individuals’ everyday co-experiences of their environment, the workshop will place emphasis on the use of multimodal data (video recordings, images and photographs, interviews, digital discourse and interactions, etc.).

Upon completion of this PhD course, participants will:
  • Be familiar with the history and the meaning of the concept of intersubjectivity and the phenomenological roots leading to the study of human (inter)actions;
  • Better understand the fundamental concepts related to intersubjectivity (Self and Other; perception and sensoriality; experience; etc.) and the emerging ones (digital ontophany (Vial, 2012), phenomenotechnics of Otherness (Ibid.), etc.);
  • Be able to apply the phenomenological methodology upon their own empirical data and analyse intersubjective phenomena.
