We advance a new theoretical approach for interpreting health communication from an embodied, intersubjective perspective. We propose individuals experience the world as bodied beings and must make sense of their embodied experiences by managing meanings of who they are in the world (being), the actions they perform (doing), and who they want to become (directed becoming). We call this theory managing meanings of embodied experiences (MMEE). Guided by the philosophies of phenomenology, pragmatism, and feminism, we provide a three-fold framework for exploring individuals' management of health meanings during interactions with others in society. The first layer-being-demonstrates a mutually constituting, intersubjective presence with others, whereby we attend to our own and another's embodied expressions accomplished communicatively. The second layer-doing-appreciates experiences directed by personal and social values both perceived and conceived during the unfolding of coordinated communicative events. The third layer-directed becoming-highlights our ability to mindfully direct changes to our identity and actions through critical reflection; it is the transformative potential of our reflective synthesis of being and doing.
我们从具身、主体间性的角度提出了一种新的理论方法来解释健康传播。我们认为，个体作为有身体的存在体验世界，必须通过管理他们在世界中的身份意义（存在）、他们所做的行为（行动）和他们想成为的人（有目的的成为）来理解他们的具身体验。我们称这种理论为管理具身体验的意义（MMEE）。在现象学、实用主义和女性主义哲学的指导下，我们提供了一个三重框架，用于探索个体在与社会中的他人互动时对健康意义的管理。第一层——存在——展示了与他人相互构成的主体间存在，我们通过交际表达来关注自己和他人的身体表达。第二层——行动——欣赏个人和社会价值观所引导的经验，这些价值观在协调交际事件展开过程中被感知和构想。第三层——有目的的成为——强调了我们通过批判性反思有意识地引导身份和行动变化的能力；这是我们对存在和行动的反思性综合的变革潜力。
