Samenvatting
The aim of this paper is to offer a ‘rich description’ of moral residue reading experiences by
articulating its nature and structure in two interview sessions with health care practitioners.
Participants are pre-selected on the basis of having lived through moral residue situations at
the workplace. Both interview sessions follow a phenomenological interview schedule designed to gain access to how readers describe their subjective experiences of reading
experiences, adapted to the medical ethics context. In the first session, participants read (self-
)selected text extracts from world literature narrating situations of moral residue. Their most
memorable reading experiences are explored. In the second session, one participant-selected
story is reread, with a focus on five evocative passages. Data analysis follows Lex-Nap
methodology. As a result, an inventory of moral residue reading experiences will be offered,
which will be the basis for the articulation of an empirical typology of moral residue reading
experiences (WP1) and for the creation of a moral residue scale, with the suggestion of
subscales and corresponding items that are based on how readers express their experiences
of moral residue reading (WP2). Furthermore, we will comment on the extent to which
preliminary findings seem to validate previous typologies of reading experiences. Ultimately,
we will provide a fuller description of how literary reading might impact (and perhaps modify)
readers’ moral self-constructs.
