| Description | The paper offers a critical interpretation of an empirical inquiry focusing on road violence events (accidents) oriented to develop a collaboration between an STS (science and technology studies) perspective and a phenomenology of embodied subjectivity. The research project manifests the need to develop a dialogue between these involved perspectives that helps to articulate the researcher’s thoughtful self-awareness of their epistemological, ontological and ethical commitments. Cultivating a comprehensive concern for lived experiences and their expressions proves to be more than what is required by currently established practices of epistemologically oriented reflection; nevertheless, it seems indispensable for what late Merleau-Ponty calls philosophical self-understanding. In this sense, the continual cultivation of self-awareness leading to re-inspection and redefinition of established commitments can still be grounded in ordinary life without detaching one’s interpretations from lived experience to advance an epistemological standpoint. |
