| Summary: | This article aims to explore the potential of Alfred Schütz' sociological
phenomenology for spatial phenomena and its integration into human geography.
Although the influence and productivity of phenomenology in general could
contribute significantly to shed light on spatial phenomena of the
life-world, such as a progressive sense of place (Massey,
1993), transnationalities
(Pries, 2001),
socio-spatial atmospheres (Hasse, 2017), “home” and encounters (Seamon, 1979,
2014), enforced life(s) in refugee camps and others, it has never become a
major strand of contemporary (German speaking) human geography. According to
Hasse (2017) phenomenology has even remained almost <i>absent </i>in
geographical research. In contrast to this proposition, the analytically
endorsed and empirically examined theorems of phenomenology have recently
been challenged by “post-phenomenology” and “non-representational
theory”. These approaches raise – though both argumentatively and
empirically unproven – their voice against pretended limitations of
“classical” phenomenology in arguing with “imagined” limits of meaning
and understanding. Irrespective of these developments, we would like to refer
to the analytical and methodological stringency of approaches that arise from
the rich tradition of phenomenology and emphasize their still largely
untapped potential for human geography by suggesting a
“<i>Leib</i>”-based approach rooted in reconstructive methodologies to
analyse the various spatial phenomena of the life-world. |
