Description

Embodiment is a concept that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. However, it is a contested term, and the literature is fragmented, particularly within Higher Education. This has resulted in silos of work that are not easily able to draw on previous or related knowledge in order to support and progress understanding. Conversations on Embodiment Across Higher Education brings a cohesive understanding to congruent approaches by drawing on discussions between academics to explore how they have used embodiment in their work.

This book brings academics from fields including dance, drama, education, anthropology, early years, sport, sociology, and philosophy together to begin conversations on how their understandings of embodiment have impacted their teaching, practice, and research. Each chapter explores an aspect of embodiment according to a particular disciplinary or theoretical perspective and begins a discussion with a contributor from another viewpoint.

This book will appeal to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students from a diverse range of disciplinary areas, as evidenced by the backgrounds of the contributors. It will be of particular interest to those in the fields of education, sociology, anthropology, dance, and drama, as well as other movement or body-oriented professionals who are interested in the ideas of embodiment.
