Data Analysis in Phenomenology: Lived Things

Dr. Rakesh Maurya, an expert on qualitative methodologies, explains data analysis by using 5 existentials recommended by Van Max Manen in phenomenological research. He currently works at the University of North Florida, U.S.A., and teaches qualitative research to doctoral students. In this video, we explore the concept of lived things in phenomenological analysis, focusing on how objects and material things play a role in shaping human experience. Lived things, also known as objecthood in phenomenology, refer to the way we relate to and experience objects around us—whether everyday items or significant possessions. This analysis goes beyond the physical properties of objects and delves into their personal, emotional, and symbolic meanings. Drawing from thinkers like Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, we examine how objects influence our sense of self, identity, and relationships with others. Key topics covered: Definition of lived things in phenomenology How objects shape human experience and meaning The role of material things in phenomenological research Examples of lived things in qualitative research Perfect for researchers and students interested in how everyday objects influence and reflect our lived experiences. #LivedBody #Phenomenology #Embodiment #PhenomenologicalAnalysis #QualitativeResearch #LivedExperiences #EmbodiedExperience #ResearchMethods #QualitativeInquiry Keywords: Whole-part-whole analysis, phenomenological research, data analysis, qualitative research, lived experiences, interpretive analysis, phenomenology, research methodology, thematic analysis, qualitative data interpretation, Phenomenological research, data collection methods, qualitative interviews, research interviews, interview techniques, lived experiences, conducting interviews, phenomenology, research methodology, interviewing skills, Martin Heidegger, Cartesian Duality, Mind-Body Duality, Dasein, Being-in-the-World, Existential Phenomenology, Philosophy, Historical Roots of Phenomenology, Qualitative Research, Heidegger's Phenomenology, Philosophy of Mind, Phenomenological Research, History of Phenomenology, Cartesian Philosophy, Phenomenology, Phenomenological Research, Qualitative Research, Research Designs, Qualitative Methods, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hermeneutic Phenomenology, Descriptive Phenomenology, Interpretative Phenomenology, Phenomenological Analysis, Phenomenological Approach, Phenomenological Methodology, Intentionality, Lifeworld (Lebenswelt), Dasein, Being-in-the-World, Essence, Lived Experience, Bracketing (Epoché), Phenomenological Reduction, Existential Phenomenology, Phenomenological Interview, In-depth Interviews, Narrative Inquiry, Data Coding, Thematic Analysis, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), Meaning-making, Reflective Journaling, Transcendental Phenomenology, Case Studies in Phenomenology, Phenomenological Studies in Psychology, Phenomenological Studies in Education, Phenomenological Studies in Health, Phenomenological Studies in Counseling, Phenomenological Inquiry, Cartesian Duality, Husserl’s Phenomenology, Heidegger’s Phenomenology, Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology, Existential Philosophy, Hermeneutics, Max van Manen, Clark Moustakas, Giorgi Phenomenological Method, Amedeo Giorgi, Jonathan A.
