The boundaries between “the digital” and our everyday physical world are dissolving as we develop more physical ways of interacting with computing. This forum presents some of the topics discussed in the colorful multidisciplinary field... more

Inspired by Enactivist philosophy yet in dialog with it, we ask what theory of embodied cognition might best serve in articulating implications of Enactivism for mathematics education. We offer a blend of Dynamical Systems Theory and... more
Tango dancing is not just ethnographically interesting, but might actually provide a way to study interaction as such. An orientation to this improvisational dance as an embodied practice and experience is given. Enactivism is proposed as... more
Narrative is viewed by a growing body of interdisciplinary work as an immanent medium through which humans interpret the world and their life. The author claims that in accordance, a level of narrative interpretation should be situated... more
En este artículo se presentan resultados preliminares de un estu- dio evolutivo longitudinal de caso único centrado en dos tipos de organizaciones emergentes de los juegos sociales tempranos: las protoconversaciones -concepto... more
The main aim of this article is to revisit Merleau-Ponty's notion of intercorporeality (intercorporéité) and elaborate it as a new theory of social cognition. As is well known, theory of mind has been the central issue in the field of... more
Feelings play an important part in general perception and in particular perception of pictures. Their relevance to the construction of meaning and actions that are cultural processes will be shown. By referring to traditions of philosophy... more
In philosophy of mind and cognitive science, enactivist approaches view mind and cognition as arising from the dynamic interplay between the living organism and its environment, as it unfolds through the activities and experiences of... more
Carl Jung describes how the human unconscious is the hidden cosmological archetypal dimension of our being in the world. There is the personal unconscious that reflects personal history and experience either forgotten or foreclosed. There... more
In response to the claim that our sense of will is illusory, some philosophers have called for a better understanding of the phenomenology of agency. Although I am broadly sympathetic with the tenor of this response, I question whether... more
In The Perception of the Environment (2000), Ingold has argued that differences in cultural knowledge are more a matter of variation in embodied skills than in discursive knowledge. These skills develop through the practitioners’... more
In this text I set out to discuss the relationship between a selection of four works which bring together the sciences, natural processes, the body and sensorial perception. These works are, Ned Kahn's 'Seismic Sea', Luke Jerram's 'Tide',... more
This paper takes a new look at an old question: what is the human self? It offers a proposal for theorizing the self from an enactive perspective as an autonomous system that is constituted through interpersonal relations. It addresses a... more
Mirror neuron research has come a long way since the early 90’s, and many theorists are now stressing the heterogeneity and complexity of the sensorimotor properties of fronto-parietal circuits. However, core aspects of the initial... more
Research on second language (L2) communication strategies over the past three decades has concerned itself broadly with defining their usage in terms of planning and compensation, as well as with the use of taxonomies for coding different... more
Due to a broad conceptual usage of the term embodiment across a diverse variety of research domains, existing embodied learning games and simulations utilize a large breadth of design approaches that often result in seemingly unrelated... more
Since the turn of the century, the field of language assessment has increasingly turned its eye towards the assessment of Interactional Competence (IC) (Galaczi & Taylor, 2018; Plough et al., 2018; Roever & Kasper, 2018). This study is... more
This is a CFP for my forthcoming book, "Embodied Research Methods," slated to be a Routledge graduate textbook. We are seeking original methods designed to address embodied data (collection and/or analysis) from all fields of study.... more
Our current understanding of human interaction with hybrid or augmented environments is very limited. Here we focus on ‘tangible interaction’, denoting systems that rely on embodied interaction, tangible manipulation, physical... more
