| | | APSA_NY13-302 | | Symposium I: Embodiment & Subjectivity Speakers: Andrea Celenza, John C. Foehl, Jessica Benjamin This symposium addresses the role of the body through phenomenal experiencing, i.e., embodiment, as conceptualized by philosophical writers and contemporary relational theorists (especially from the perspective of intersubjectivity). Presymbolic, unmentalized bodily experience provides a ground of skin-contact and rhythmicity from which the capacities of differentiating and integrating experiences arise, especially as these are organized around a variety of binaries: inner/outer, self/other and female/male. Psychopathology is understood as a collapse of dialectical interplay, causing disruptions in early patterns of interpersonal recognition, flexibility and play. Presenters discuss how transcending binarial constraints can result in greater creativity and overall well-being. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
