Abstract
Explaining sensitive experience seems a priori to direct the work of description towards spheres far removed from action, or even agentivity. To hear, see, feel... is in fact to experience phenomena in a passive mode, without any active intervention by the subject. However, by approaching the phenomena experienced, it is possible to access the processes that take part in an alternation between absorption in sensitive contents and other processes that are related to a disengagement. By mobilising explicitation according to the approach founded by Pierre Vermersch during research seminars organised at the École nationale supérieure de Paris between 2016 and 2018, it has been possible to describe the processes that participate in a reduction or restoration of agentivity in contact with sensible experience. Two dimensions will then be examined in this article: that of the constitution of knowledge on the activity of describing sensitive experience (1); that of the professionalizing dimensions resulting from the development of the capacity to describe sensitive experience (2).
