Co-creating Study of Experience in Dialogue
- Research in Arts and Education
- Ira A. Virtanen Jarkko Toikkanen
This essay reflects on the origins of an edited book that brought seventeen authors together to define experience. We co-create the experience in the form of a dialogue between us, the book’s two editors, and argue for the sake of words in the experience. We explore what it was like to start and lead a process that supported “making science” as a creative process, adding to what we learnt and keep learning, about the editing experience from this new dialogic experience. The premise of our dialogue is that, conceptually speaking, experience is the whole process of sensing, perceiving, grasping, and interpreting – it is our way of becoming aware of the environment. What follows is our conversation that elaborates on the definitional premise with our book as the example.
We provide a view from the humanities and media studies into the study of experience. How to define the concept historically and theoretically, and against which other related terms? If there’s no awareness of how the concept is used in the different disciplines, there’s no possibility of starting to build a shared dialogue between experience research experts in fields ranging from the human sciences to business and engineering. Our approach to the issue is productive of new ideas and directions for experience design.
