“…Embracing the pragmatic spirit of the NRP, we suggest framing the diversity of possible forms of 1P data on a continuum of complexity ( Figure 1 ). On one pole there is data obtained through in-depth phenomenological interview methods ( Bitbol and Petitmengin, 2016a ; Petitmengin et al, 2017 , 2019b ; Ollagnier-Beldame and Cazemajou, 2019 ) characterized by highly refined, detailed and dynamic accounts of singular subjective experiences (such as data gathered through micro-phenomenology). We call this thick phenomenology, to denote the high complexity of 1P data.…”

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Neurophenomenology – The Case of Studying Self Boundaries With Meditators

This paper is a practical guide to neurophenomenology. Varela's neurophenomenological research program (NRP) aspires to bridge the gap between, and integrate, first-person (1P) and third-person (3P) approaches to understanding the mind. It does so by suggesting a methodological framework allowing these two irreducible phenomenal domains to relate and reciprocally support the investigation of one another. While highly appealing theoretically, neurophenomenology invites researchers to a challenging methodological endeavor. Based on our experience with empirical neurophenomenological implementation, we offer practical clarifications and insights learnt along the way. In the first part of the paper, we outline the theoretical principles of the NRP and briefly present the field of 1P research. We speak to the importance of phenomenological training and outline the utility of cooperating with meditators as skilled participants. We suggest that 1P accounts of subjective experience can be placed on a complexity continuum ranging between thick and thin phenomenology, highlighting the tension and trade-off inherent to the neurophenomenological attempt to naturalize phenomenology. We then outline a typology of bridges, which create mutual constraints between 1P and 3P approaches, and argue for the utility of alternating between the bridges depending on the available experimental resources, domain of interest and level of sought articulation. In the second part of the paper, we demonstrate how the theory can be put into practice by describing a decade of neurophenomenological studies investigating the sense of self with increasing focus on its embodied, and minimal, aspects. These aspects are accessed via the dissolution of the sense-of-boundaries, shedding new light on the multi-dimensionality and flexibility of embodied selfhood. We emphasize the evolving neurophenomenological dialogue, showing how consecutive studies, placed differently on the thin-to-thick 1P continuum, advance the research project by using the bridging principles appropriate for each stage.

“…Cette question cruciale de l'accès épistémique à l'expérience a conduit au développement de nombreuses méthodes de collecte de données expérientielles (Gendlin, 1997 ;Giorgi, 2009 ;Hurlburt et Heavey, 2006 ;Petitmengin, 2001 ;Vermersch, 1994), offrant différentes possibilités d'« enquête » et de description expérientielle, selon le type d'expérience et les objectifs de recherche. De nombreuses recherches mobilisent en particulier l'entretien microphénoménologique (Dieumegard et al, 2020 ;Ollagnier-Beldame et Cazemajou, 2019 ;Petitmengin, 2001 ;2006 ;Przyrembel et Singer, 2018), y compris pour des situations de soins (Denis, 2016 ;Ollagnier-Beldame et Cazemajou, 2019).…”

Le langage occupe une place importante dans le soin, qu’il accompagne et ‘enveloppe’ les différents actes des soignants ou qu’il soit le soin lui-même, en particulier dans un cadre psychothérapeutique. Nous insistons dans cet article sur le rôle du langage lors de la première rencontre entre un soignant et un soigné, en nous appuyant sur l’expérience vécue par le premier. Cette expérience est étudiée avec l’entretien micro-phénoménologique, une technique de collecte et d’analyse de données qui offre des descriptions précises, holistiques et en première personne d’une situation. Nous expliquons d’abord comment l’activité langagière s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une activité finalisée, pluridimensionnelle sur le plan expérientiel, qui vise à comprendre la problématique du soigné ainsi qu’à construire une relation avec lui. Nous nous penchons alors sur les différentes facettes du langage du patient auxquelles le soignant prête attention, puis décrivons le langage du soignant – ce qu’il dit et se dit – à l’aide des actes de langage et de leur fonction illocutoire. Il apparait que le langage sert à bien davantage qu’échanger des informations, et occupe pour des soignants de professions diverses un rôle clé dans la dynamique micro-expérientielle, que ce soit pour comprendre l’autre, ajuster son comportement ou proposer un accompagnement.

“…Researchers now have a very detailed analysis procedure at their disposal (Petitmengin et al, 2019;Valenzuela-Moguillansky & Vásquez-Rosati, 2019), and the explicitation interview is an important part of the toolbox used in the micro-phenomenological approach 17 to studying subjective experience (Ollagnier-Beldame & Cazemajou, 2019). This procedure takes a past lived experience and uses it as a reference (called V1; in French vécu de référence; Vermersch, 2012).…”

In line with socioconstructivist works analysing the impact of social interactions on cognitive development, the present study discusses how to capture, describe, and analyse the emergent co-production of new ideas or creative cognitive solutions. After introducing the methodologies that are currently used in this field, we recall the relevance of pragmatic analyses of conversations. We then identify several possible methodologies for probing and finely analysing the emergence of children’s new thinking, by cross-referencing third-person (i.e., from the researcher’s point of view) and first-person (i.e., from the children’s point of view, following an explicitation interview) analyses.
