Review Quotes
Susanne Ravn, University of Southern Denmark
Drawing together an interdisciplinary range of expertise and knowledge, this book presents new insights on kinesthetic empathy as an embodied and cultural phenomenon. Through consideration of interactions in film, dance therapy, and photography, the authors highlight how kinesthetic empathy affects and shapes our understanding of ourselves and the other. A topical discussion with implications for a wide range of fields.
Amelia Jones, McGill University, author of Perform, Repeat, Record
How does art mean? The originality of this book is to take this question, along with the larger question of how we communicate, and insist that it can only be answered through an interdisciplinary study of embodied expression. Drawing together insights from aesthetic theory, phenomenology, neuroscience, and other domains, Dee Reynolds and Matthew Reason propose a new framework for imagining how embodied subjects engage with the world, how we come to mean for one another.
