The fecundity of genetic phenomenology in the XXIst century

Abstract

This article confirms the generativity of phenomenology in our century and attributes it to its “movement”. It makes its double conception explicit and, after discussing certain aspects of generativity, describes some fields of action of generative phenomenology such as intersubjectivity, interculturalism and artistic generativity (poiesis). The article also introduces the lived body, as the nucleus of human generativity and of the feminist and phenomenological research in the problems of generativity to which Husserl already referred: “the problem of the sexes”, birth and death. The contribution explores furthermore the relationship between temporalization and aging which, in addition to highlighting the intersubjective and intergenerational time, exemplifies the fertility of “comparative phenomenology”.
