Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
The body is the main forum for learning about how to do, think and believe and it
is a starting point for the granting and forming of many forms of meaning. Fourteen
papers explore the relationship between knowledge and the body through a series of
historical and archaeological case studies. More specifically, it considers the concept
of embodied knowledge by exploring some of the apparent diverse and yet shared forms
of what may be called embodied knowledge. The papers share a focus on knowledge as
it is implicit and expressed through the human body and bodily action, and as it formed
through intentional practices. But what is this kind of knowledge? Using specific
case studies of knowledgeable actions, the book explores embodied knowledge through
a focus on practice. It does so through two different, yet interconnected aspects
of how such knowledge expresses itself: belief and technology
