Special Issue of "Philosophical Psychology":
“The Phenomenology of Joint Action. Structure, Mechanisms, and Functions”
Guest editors: Franz Knappik & Nivedita Gangopadhyay (University of Bergen)

Philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists have extensively studied
the “sense of agency” and other aspects of the phenomenology of individual
action. Joint action has been the topic of much work in these disciplines,
too, but that work has focused on issues about the structure, ontogenesis
and neurophysiology of joint action. The phenomenology of joint action has
only recently become a topic of contemporary debate in philosophy and other
cognitive sciences.

It is the aim of this special issue to promote this emerging interest in
the phenomenology of joint action, and to provide an interdisciplinary
forum for discussing questions about the structure, mechanisms and
functions of our experience of joint action. We invite contributions from
all relevant fields, including analytic philosophy, phenomenology,
theoretical and experimental psychology and neuroscience. Empirical
researchers who reflect upon their work from a theoretical/philosophical
perspective, and theoretical psychologists and neuroscientists casting a
perspective on the empirical literature, are particularly encouraged to
submit.

Questions to be addressed in the special issue include the following:

• Does the phenomenology of joint action include the same elements as the
phenomenology of individual action, or are there differences?

• Are the phenomenal features of joint action distinctly intersubjective,
and if so, what makes this the case?

• What cognitive and neural mechanisms underlie the phenomenology of joint
action, and what factors modulate that phenomenology?

• Does the experience of joint action display effects of intentional
binding?

• What are the functions of our experience of joint action with regard to
factors like ontogenesis of joint action capacities; the coordination,
monitoring and control of joint action; first-personal knowledge about
joint action; and our practices of holding agents responsible for their
actions?

• What can we learn about the phenomenology of joint action and its
functions by exploring cases of conflict and breakdown (e.g.
misunderstandings, relevant psychopathological conditions), large-scale and
complex cases of joint actions, cases with a particularly strong and
complex phenomenology (e.g. dance, theatre, music, cult actions, group
therapy, and social-political activism), and human-machine interaction?
