Phenomenology as philosophy of research
No full textIn this essay, introducing a volume about the application of
phenomenology in human science research, we will narrow our
question in order to ask what the place of phenomenological
thinking could be in this field. Phenomenology
is a way to educate our vision, to define our posture, to
broaden the way we look at the world. This is why phenomenology
is seen not only as a method (or style) for philosophical research,
but also as a powerful tool for research in human science
The agency of things: how spaces and artefacts organize the moral order of an Intensive Care Unit
Get PDFThis article focuses on the constitutive role of space and artefacts in delineating the moral order of a specific context. Building on the premises of a post-humanistic phenomenology, it proposes a theoretical contribution to a critical understanding of communication as a complex phenomenon distributed between human and non-human semiotic agents. Drawing on ethnographic research in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the article empirically illustrates this point. It analyses how the interior architecture and some ordinary objects (e.g. the glove box and the alcoholic dispenser, the monitors and the handwritten clinical record) delineate the range of the “right things to do” and participate in telling which philosophy of medicine is at play in this ICU

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
