Embodiment

The Embodiment Wiki

Conceptual Metaphor Home Page

A critical discussion of Lakoff and Johnson's 'Philosophy In the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and Its Challenge to Western Thought'.

University of Oregon
A group of faculty have strong interests in the role of embodiment in such processes as the constitution of identity, formation of concepts, the structures of reason, knowledge practices, intersubjectivity, and the emergence of values.

Don Hanlon Johnson

"A contribution to the work of those teachers, activists, writers, bodyworkers, artists, and scientists who are taking stands in favor of the crucial importance of our material reality... My focus is on a worldwide group of educators who have developed practices for accessing and cultivating the stores of wisdom, creativity, and courage that live within our bodies".

The site includes a page for the Study Project in Phenomenology of the Body.

Integration Journal is an interesting blog by Mark Walsh, which covers "Martial arts, alternative health, somatics, bodywork, Non-Violent Communication, meditation, dance and a personal touch".

The Embodiment Studies pages at Goddard College provide useful introductory extracts. Also see their MA course.

Embodied Knowledge

Access to tacit embodied knowledge: Force sensations and conceptualization.
Bodily acts are often tacit, implicit, and are hard or impossible to capture in propositional form. What then, is the mechanism by which the player knows how to act? How is this knowledge related to conceptual learning?
(Abstract of talk for the Seminar on People, Computers, and Design at Stanford University December 4, 1998.)

Phenomenology and cognitive science
A website is dedicated to providing resources focusing on the intersection of phenomenology and the cognitive sciences.

Psycoloquy is a refereed international, interdisciplinary electronic journal that publishes on psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, behavioural biology, artificial intelligence, robotics/vision, linguistics and philosophy.

International Association for the Cognitive Science of Religion exists to promote the cognitive science of religion through international collaboration. The new website is developing into a very useful resource.

The Danish Center for Subjectivity Research approaches the subject through three strands: first, phenomenology and philosophy of mind, second, hermeneutics and philosophy of religion, and third psychopathology. The Center runs conferences and courses. Their links page is especially useful.
