Abstract

Against the backdrop of an increasing interest in visual methods in social research, this paper examines some theoretical foundations of human (inter-)action by reflecting on the interplay between senses, the body, and biography. The main purpose of the paper is to combine an integral, non-Cartesian concept of the self as body (respectively the lived body as self) with biographical research—thus enriching research on the body, as well as on biography. Criticizing the Cartesian split of body and mind, classical phenomenological (Leib) and recent concepts of the body (“embodiment”) are sketched, resulting in a processual model of the sensual construction of the lived and living body in its environment. Given the interplay of bodily foundations of the self and processes of biographical structuring, so far, distant fields of research are converged. Some suggestions for conceptual improvements, an attentional shift to body aspects, respective research topics, and the extension of methods exceeding the narrative biographical interview in biographical research are indicated.

Author Biography

Wolfram Fischer, University of Kassel, Germany

Wolfram Fischer is a Professor Emeritus of sociology at the department of Social Work at the University of Kassel, Germany. His teaching covers a wide array of interpretative research methods based on phenomenological and interactionist assumptions. Theory and empirical tools of biographical research, as well as video analysis of interactions, have been developed. Special interests are chronic illness and health behavior, body and biography, theory-practice relations in helping professions, and the narrative construction and representation of selves in interaction.
