  • More about Husserl and Spatiality: A Phenomenological Ethnography of Space


Husserl and Spatiality explores the phenomenology of space and embodiment, based on Edmund Husserl's work. It examines his analyses of corporeity and the "lived body," addressing intersubjective, intergenerational, and geo-historical spatial experience. Through a phenomenological ethnography of space, the book combines architectural philosophical investigations with ethnography, addressing social and cultural anthropology, philosophy, and environmental aesthetics.

Husserl and Spatiality delves into the phenomenology of space and embodiment, drawing upon the pioneering work of Edmund Husserl. While this concept may not be widely recognized within the realm of architecture, Husserl's phenomenology of embodied spatiality laid the groundwork for subsequent phenomenologists, such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, renowned for his phenomenology of perception. By meticulously examining Husserl's posthumously published and unpublished manuscripts on space, DuFour explores the profound depth and scope of Husserl's phenomenology of space. The book delves into his analyses of corporeity and the "lived body," extending to questions of intersubjective, intergenerational, and geo-historical spatial experience, which DuFour refers to as the "environmentality" of space.

Combining in-depth architectural philosophical investigations of spatiality with a rich and intimate ethnography, Husserl and Spatiality addresses themes in social and cultural anthropology from a theoretical perspective that engages spatial practice and experience. Drawing on fieldwork in Brazil, DuFour further develops his analyses of Husserl's phenomenology through spatial accounts of ritual in the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé. The result is a methodological innovation and a unique mode of spatial description coined as a "phenomenological ethnography of space."

The book's profoundly interdisciplinary approach makes an invaluable contribution to academics and students in architecture and architectural theory, anthropology and material culture, as well as philosophy and environmental aesthetics.
