Abstract :
Husserl himself seldom considers the ways in which space is constituted and organized not just in relation to the perceptual experience of the individual subject, but within social experience as a field of possible interaction. In this paper, I first try to show why Husserl generally dispenses with this issue in general and where in his work, nonetheless, some attempts are made to tackle it. Subsequently, I work out some concepts to be found throughout his manuscript notations that could help turn this inquiry into a relevant topic for a phenomenology of bodily interaction in general and gesture in particular. Thus, I arrive at considering mutual gaze as an interkinaesthetic phenomenon, which can be seen as the genetic origin of gesture.
