Post-phenomenology and method: styles for researching the (non)human

Abstract

Recently cultural geographers have become increasingly interested in postphenomenological ways of thinking. This article develops a distinct postphenomenological style of analysis. Such a style is twofold, referring both to a style of conceptualizing and writing about objects and a concern for those objects’ style. Drawing on the example of the television show In the Night Garden, the article demonstrates two postphenomenological styles of thought—allure and resonance—and how these styles enable us to understand the style of these objects and the role they play in the construction and experience of different cultural worlds.
