IMAGINATIVE COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY: THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL-ENACTIVE APPROACH TO THE CO-CONSTITUTION OF PUBLIC PHENOMENA
Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Philosophia August 1, 2025 Mindaugas Briedis, Mariano Navarro
An evolving phenomenological-enactive perspective can deepen understanding of how enactive subjects are entangled with their living ecologies. This article applies classical phenomenological projects and their enactive extension to public phenomena such as objects, spaces, and events. Within embodied cognition discourse, it thematizes the enactive, affective, and intersubjective aspects of relating to the urban lifeworld. This approach helps reveal both the potential of phenomenological-enactive methodology and the processes through which an embodied, intersubjective co-constitution of a public ethos occurs. Theoretical ideas are illustrated with reflections on concrete public phenomena.
