Abstract

Autoimmune diseases have become a global health problem, but their cause and genesis are still unresolved. So to find new ways of understanding autoimmunity, which is the aim of this research project, is of high social relevance. The presented method “EEE – Exercises in Existential Eccentricity” was developed to investigate a new concept of autoimmunity based on the thesis of eccentric positionality by Plessner. It is a practical and daring technique, exposing the researcher in her vulnerability as a chronically ill person. It involves artefacts related to the illness narrative, as well as constant transitions between the centre and the periphery, eliciting different self-aspects. The results are expected to provide new images of autoimmunity to help people cope with autoimmune diseases.
