Italian term or phrase: direzioni di senso
Il sapere esperienziale è quello che si struttura a partire da un’indagine meditata sul vissuto quotidiano per decifrare di esso direzioni di senso e nodi critici.

Not sure about the "decifrare di esso" either - does the "di" seem right or should it be "da"?

Poststructuralist thought deconstructed a conception of theoretical knowledge in terms of a thinking subject, construed as the 'essential self', contemplating independently existing objects in the external world. If the thinking subject is the effect of learning the ***trajectories of meaning*** embedded in the symbolic systems of the culture, then it does not exist as an unconditioned consciousness. The subject is decentered as the origin of thought. It thinks only what it is permitted to think within the culture it is conditioned by.

sense of meaning/different senses of meaning


Explanation:
Dunque, come dice Texjax la frase, per quanto complessa, è corretta così: si vuole esaminare il vissuto quotidiano per meglio comprendere direzioni di senso e criticità del vissuto quotidiano stesso.
Da qui a trovare una resa soddisfacente però... Ti butto lì una proposta che qualcuno saprà certo migliorare. HTH

directions of (its) meaning


Explanation:
"Experiential knowledge is that which takes form on the basis of a careful examination of everyday experience designed to decipher the directions of its meaning and the its critical nodes."
Maybe you can sharpen it up, but the only way I can translate the end of the sentence is to start at the beginning :-). Umberto's suggestion is certainly worth considering, but a trajectory is a path (generally not straight) taken or predicted, while a direction is a straight line you head off in, North, South...

l sapere esperienziale è quello che si struttura a partire da un’indagine meditata sul vissuto quotidiano per decifrare di esso direzioni di senso e nodi critici.
