This app oach pu s he ocus on he body as an a ea o in es iga ion and p oposes a speci ic unde s anding o knowledge h ough embodied p ac ices (Spa z, 2017: 6). While he embodied me hodology is no a no el app oach in he social sciences and humani ies, i has been enaciously neglec ed h ough he mind–body dualism, in which he mind is p esen ing ‘ a ionali y’, and he body ‘impulsi e’ and ‘i a ional passions’ (F ank, 1990; Howson and Inglis, 2001; Me leau-Pon y, 1962; Shilling, 2001).

Recei ing and p ocessing in o ma ion assumedly causes bodily sen- sa ions, which lead o cogni i e and soma ic a ec s (Noland, 2010: 4; Reinha d and Loke, 2013: 137). Ou expe iences and embodied ac ions a e hough o be guided by, o example, hough s and emo ions, pas memo ies and u u e goals (Gallaghe and Zaha i, 2012; Rodaway, 1994).

Howe e , ou abili y o sense quali- a i e di e ences in ges u es’ meanings in e ms o shi ing social si ua ions is somewha o a lea ned skill (Noland, 2010: 6).

In a esea ch si ua ion, he esea che , pa icipan (s) and he o he in ol ed pa ies a e all engaged in in e subjec i e sense-making pe o mances, leading o he cons uc ion o socially sha ed meanings and embodied expe iences (De Jaeghe and Di Paolo, 2007; Noland, 2010). When people y o unde s and each o he , hey obse e and eac o hei oppo- nen s’ bodily mo emen s, which in u n may c ea e imagined assump ions abou o he s’ expe iences and in e pe sonally sha ed, simila ges u es (Fuchs and De Jaeghe , 2009). This kind o in e subjec i e unc ioning may en ich he esea ch analysis. Fo example, Chadwick (2017) has desc ibed embodied me hodologies as he means o eco d mul i- ocal p ac ices and how emale body p esences a e demons a ed in speech na a i es. He me hod p ima ily ocuses on he language used in sel - e e ence, ela ions o and memo ised opics o one’s own and o he s’ bodies (Chadwick, 2017). Embodied me hodology has been used also in GSAR. Schac e (2014: 224) e lec s: ‘I was by ac ion, by subjec i e in ol emen (wi h all he a ec i e quali ies hese engen- de ed) ha one gained embodied knowledge, a knowledge mo e impo an han any pu ely cogni i e unde s anding.’ Quo es om Schac e ’s (2014) ield no es desc ibe he en i onmen al con ex , physical spaces and empo ali y, bodily ges u es and in e ac ions be ween he in o man s and he esea che . Such in e ac ions allow o conclude esea ch indings in ways ha conce n ield ac i i ies as bodily engaged, a o m o social enac - men o ela ionships, communica ion and commi men s (Schac e , 2014: 226–227). Simila ly, as Fe ell (2004) no es, me hodologies ha en ail engagemen wi h he esea ch subjec s p o ide an unde s anding o di e en cul u al nuances and momen a y expe i- ences ha a e ela ed o g a i i. Nomeikai e (2017) explo es he possibili ies o esea ching s ee a by including obse a ions and e bal explica ions o he physical in e ac ions and expe iences wi h people and a e ac s (Nomeika e, 2017). Halsey and Young (2006) sugges ha he ac o g a i i w i ing in ol es bodily, a ec i e aspec s, causing a powe ul embodied expe i- ence. G a i i connec s hei c ea o s o he wo ld, e lec ing hei subjec i e, a ying ela ionships h ough he ac o w i ing g a i i. Thus, o a esea che , he poin o GSAR is no only o con i m exis ing heo ies, bu also o in es iga e: ‘how do a ious li ed bodies concei e o and speak abou wha hey do?’ (Halsey and Young, 2006: 294). Ryan (2017: 133) and Tolonen (2021a) ha e bo h epo ed on g a i i w i e s and s ee a is s gaining emedial bene i s om he ac o pain ing, e lec ing ha ‘pain ing does some- hing’ o hei bodies and acknowledging he in ense physical and emo ional sensa ions ha occu du ing he p ocess o c ea ing. G a i i subcul u e is o en desc ibed as male-domina ed and hence esea ched h ough a masculine lens o hough (F ansbe g, 2021; Macdonald, 2002). In e hno- g aphic esea ch he esea che is physically in ol ed in he li es o he s udy pa ici- pan s in he obse ed ield. Gende ed bodies o en c ea e meanings in hese esea ch se ings and a e c ucial in unde s anding he p ocess o knowledge c ea ion (Naegle and Salman, 2016). Bu le (1988: 520) p oposes ha gende iden i y is pe o med 6 Quali a i e Resea ch 00(0) as a ‘s ylized epe i ion o ac s h ough ime’. I is exp essed in bodily signs and o he discou ses, which cons uc iden i ies h ough embodied ac s in a social pe o mance (Bu le , 1988; 2010). Gende may he e o e in luence how he esea ch is conduc ed. Fo some esea che s, when walking alone in u ban en i onmen s, a eeling o sa e y migh no necessa ily be consis en due o easons such as hei gende , age o he o e all con ex (O’Neill and Robe s, 2019: 51). Acco ding o Tay and Diene (2011), he eeling o sa e y and secu i y can be unde s ood as a undamen al need ha people usually in end o ul il o emos . Howe e , indi idual psychosocial needs such as eeling espec ed, being able o mas e one’s ield o expe ise and ha ing a sense o independence migh be pu sued be o e basic o sa e y needs a e ully me (Tay and Diene , 2011). We a e also d i en by he emo ion o in e es (Cla k, 2013a; Iza d, 2009), which acco ding o Iza d (2009: 4) is essen ial ‘ o engagemen in c ea i e and cons uc i e endea ou s and o he sense o well-being’, also impac ing upon one’s a en ion and o he men al p ocesses. An indi idual’s p io knowl- edge and expe iences, emo ions, alues, needs and in e es s can a ec subjec i e in e - ences and beha iou (Igna ow, 2007; Ingold, 2007; Saa iluoma e al., 2016). This may explain ha some hing such as g a i i, ag o s ee a may seem de ian o insigni ican o one, bu i may seem no el, in e es ing and appealing o he o he . Embodied me hodologies can u ilise se e al me hods, anging om i s - o hi d- pe son pe spec i es, and om quali a i e o quan i a i e da a. Fo example, Myllylä (in p ess) uses hink aloud me hod, which is common in use psychology, a scien i ic dis- cou se o s udying people’s minds and beha io when hey in e ac wi h echnical a e- ac s (Saa iluoma e al., 2016), o in es iga e he esea ch pa icipan s’ embodied expe iences o selec ed g a i i wo ks. Thus, we would a gue ha di e en me hodolo- gies should be iewed as complemen a y and no as exclusi e o excluding. In he ollowing sec ions we will ocus on esea ch cases ha pe cei e u ban en i on- men s h ough walking and edge e hnog aphy. We illus a e ha walking can be a usable means o expe iencing and in e ac ing wi h he en i onmen and is elabo a ed he e upon as an embodied me hodology wi hin GSAR (Tolonen, 2021b; Young, 2016).

Wi h hese wo cases we p o ide examples o how embodimen can be depic ed and how i can impac upon bo h esea ch me hods and analysis, in his case, in he examina ion o s ee a and g a i i. Walking as a esea che ’s embodied expe ience Walking has been heo ised in many ields o science, o example, in an h opology, geology, philosophy and sociology (see e.g. Ingold, 2007; O’Neill and Robe s, 2019; Pinde , 2008; Pink, 2015). Walking in en i onmen s is, in i sel , an endea ou ha includes expe ien ial, psychological, social, bodily and physical aspec s (O’Neill and Robe s, 2019). In GSAR, walking has become an inc easingly u ilised esea ch me hod. Fo example, Phillips (2015), Tolonen (2021a; 2021b) and Young (2016), among many o he s, ha e s udied and analysed g a i i and s ee a by walking a ound ci ies and F ansbe g e al. 7 pho og aphing a wo ks.
