Although I leave for Croatia<\/a> tomorrow, and so can’t make the second day, I’m giving a paper at this UCD Philiosophy Department<\/a> conference this afternoon:<\/p>\n Perspectives on the Body and Embodiment<\/span><\/p>\n Since the investigations of phenomenological theorists such as Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, the themes of embodiment and situatedness have enjoyed increased popularity over a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, literature, women’s studies among others. Recognition that the body is not merely an appendage to the self, but rather is what opens up the possibility of meaningful subjective existence, has radically shifted the classical philosophical understanding of the body. Within popular culture this shift is reflected with an increased interest in embodiment in realms such as design, architecture, education and business.<\/p>\n This conference aims to explore the themes of the body and embodiment in contemporary discourse inviting papers from a range of disciplines including, but not limited to, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, performance studies, women’s studies and literature. This unique inter-disciplinary perspective will provide a multi-faceted understanding of how Western thinking has changed with understanding the role of the body in constituting or influencing cognition, subjectivity, identity and discourse.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The schedule looks amazingly great – my own paper is on my dissertation topic<\/a> – so if you are around, check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although I leave for Croatia tomorrow, and so can’t make the second day, I’m giving a paper at this UCD Philiosophy Department conference this afternoon: Perspectives on the Body and Embodiment Since the investigations of phenomenological theorists such as Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, the themes of embodiment and situatedness have enjoyed increased popularity over a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,7,8,19,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-and-tech","category-me","category-re-blog-tidbits","category-stimulus","category-theory"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9blZT-o0","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1531,"url":"https:\/\/nathanielstern.com\/blog\/2007\/09\/01\/what-is-implicit-art\/","url_meta":{"origin":1488,"position":0},"title":"what is Implicit Art?","author":"nathaniel","date":"01 September 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"Implicit Art, or as I more often call it, Implicit Body Art, is art that asks us to move in ways we normally wouldn't, pushing the boundaries of performativity and affect.
