Presence of the Body: Awareness in and Beyond Experience by Gert Hofmann, Snje Ana Zori
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.2 Mb
Overview: Presence of the Body provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dialogue between theory and practice about the impact of the body on human awareness in the fields of art, writing, meditative practice, and performance. This dialogue benefits from the neuro-systematic integration of embodied knowledge in the cognitive sciences, but it also suggests creative and transformative dynamics of embodiment which, beyond conceptualisation, emerge in sophisticated acts of writing, performing and meditating. Exploring the presence and experience character of the body-awareness relationship, a double perspective beyond cognitive fixations is suggested: 1) a body-centred touch of the world which inspires life as a creative writing process, and 2) in line with Buddhist thought, an empty space of pure presence from which all conscious processes originate.
