Séminaire « Entretien d’explicitation et Recherche », ENS de Lyon
Ce séminaire s’adresse aux chercheurs utilisant des données expérientielles pour leurs recherches et formés à l’entretien d’explicitation (niveau 1 demandé, niveau 2 vivement conseillé).
Le principe est de venir présenter un travail de recherche s’appuyant sur des données issues de l’entretien d’explicitation. Nous vous proposons de partager les choix que vous avez faits pour l’analyse de ces données - modèle d’analyse éventuel, grain d’analyse, analyse qualitative et/ou quantitative, etc. - ainsi que les difficultés que vous avez pu rencontrer, et également les réussites !

Micro-phenomenology seminar
​
Organized within the context of the Archives Husserl, ENS
by Claire Petitmengin and Michel Bitbol, in collaboration with Natalie Depraz
​
Micro-phenomenology is a newly developed method of descriptive phenomenology, making it possible to gather, notably by means of interviews, very precise descriptions of situated experiences, and to compare them in order to detect possible invariants. The aim of the seminar is to consolidate the epistemological and philosophical foundations of this approach, based on an empirical investigation of the process of "putting experience into words". Verbal description has been criticized for disturbing, distorting or reifying experience, and words have been criticized for their inability to describe it finely. However it seems that a disciplined study of the very act of description makes it possible to nuance these criticisms, and to progress in the understanding of "what words do to experience."
​
Program 2016-2017
​
Rationale
Thanks to a reflexive return on the very act of description, we will study the modes of validation of a description, as well as the effect of words on experience, whether perlocutory effects of the investigator's questions and prompts, effects of the process of verbal description on the speaker's experience, or effect of the description on the receiver's experience. Several empirical micro-phenomenological research works will be presented and discussed.

Developing a micro-phenomenology of emotion for the enrichment of affective science.
​
Although emotions and affectivity are a fundamental aspect of human life, to date, precise experiential accounts of how emotions unfold have received scant attention in the research literature in scientific psychology. This talk will present an in-progress study which uses micro-phenomenology to explore the experiential characteristics of dynamic affective responses with established meditation practitioners. The aims of the research are two-fold: empirically, to develop a rich corpus of fine-grained descriptions of emotion dynamics, and methodologically, to identify concrete steps towards effectively applying micro-phenomenology in the domain of affective science. Preliminary findings will be presented, together with reflections on what they might suggest for the fruitful integration of micro-phenomenology with the practices of experimental affective science.

Program 2015-2016
« Describing sensory experience »
​
Rationale
Starting from the description of sensory experiences, we will achieve a reflexive return on the very process of description. We will explore the micro-actions mobilized by this process and their impact on experience. We will explore the hypothesis according to which the choice or the creation of right words, far from impoverishing experience, makes it possible to discriminate in it previously unseen aspects, to intensify it and to refine its consciousness. We will also consider the effect of a description on the receiver's experience.
The seminar will consist of five days, each one being devoted to the description of a sensory modality and to the analysis of the corresponding description process.
