FRY, Jane; SCAMMELL, Janet  y  BARKER, Sue. Drowning in muddied waters or swimming downstream? : A critical analysis of literature reviewing in a phenomenological study through an exploration of the lifeworld, reflexivity and role of the researcher. Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp.1-12. ISSN 1445-7377.  https://doi.org/10.1080/20797222.2017.1293355.

This paper proceeds from examining the debate regarding the question of whether a systematic literature review should be undertaken within a qualitative research study to focusing specifically on the role of a literature review in a phenomenological study. Along with pointing to the pertinence of orienting to, articulating and delineating the phenomenon within a review of the literature, the paper presents an appropriate approach for this purpose. How a review of the existing literature should locate the focal phenomenon within a given context is illustrated by excerpts from the first author's literature review within a descriptive phenomenological study. Also discussed is the important issue of when the researcher should fully enter the attitude of the phenomenological reduction and how this may influence the study.
