Body, art, experience and research. "Problems of embodiment"

Abstract

In this article we will summarise the main arguments raised in the Workshop [No. 15] "Issues of corporality" developed in the 9 § Argentinian and 4 § Latin American Physical Education and Sciences Congress, at the UNLP.

This centerred the debate reflections on the relationship between experience and research, and the dialogue generated between doing research about and on practice
