Summary
This article introduces a thematic issue on methods for studying lived experience from the perspective of situated, embodied, and distributed cognition. It reviews the history of methods for investigating lived experience, discusses intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives and levels of activity description, and presents each article's contribution to multi-method and multi-level articulations. The introduction argues that such articulatory methodological approaches are especially relevant for addressing transformative issues and objects rooted in an embedded, embodied, extended, and enacted conception of cognition.

Abstract
This introductory article begins by situating the study of lived experience within situated, embodied and distributed approaches to cognition. It then reviews the history of the development of methods for investigating lived experience, as well as the articulation of intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives and different levels of description of activity. These positions make it possible to present the various articles in this thematic issue, highlighting their contribution to 'multi-method' and 'multi-level' articulations. Finally, this introduction shows that articulatory methodological approaches appear to be particularly relevant for tackling transformative issues and investing certain objects rooted in a embedded, embodied, extended and enacted conception of cognition.
