FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher 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 on 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 with 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-orientated professionals who are interested in the ideas of embodiment.

Review

"Dr Jennifer Leigh's training in body-mind-movement work and her multi-disciplinary background in higher education and academic practice are put into excellent service in this edited collection. In bringing together a wide range of pedagogic, practice-based and performative understandings of embodiment, the book provides a theoretical and practical grounding for anyone wanting to take the pulse of the contested state of embodiment studies across a wide range of higher education disciplines. Written as a series of reflexive conversations, this book provides an accessible introduction to embodiment as a living, breathing, worldly engagement which breaks down the tired binary of theory/practice."Carol A. Taylor, Professor of Higher Education and Gender, University of Bath."Creating a sense of theater-in-the-round to contemplate embodiment from a range of disciplines and perspectives, this volume will engage and compel its reading audience, with vibrant, expansive, dialogical, and timely ideas."Liora Bresler, PhD, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Professor in the College of Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and the School of Art and Design.
