Embodiment is our physical selves with the ability to move about, our physical location in the world, our physical and emotional interactions with others.
Embodiment is a methodological standpoint in which bodily experience is understood to be the existential ground of culture and self. That is, the body is not as an object that is good to think, but as a subject that is necessary to be.
Embodiment is a relationship with the world not as mind acting within a body and mediated by cultural influences, but as organism-in-it-environment ever developing through its movements.
Embodiment is an indeterminate methodological field defined by perceptual experience and by mode of presence and engagement in the world.
Embodiment is a far less fixed and idealized concept than body and enables a study of the history of the body. It encompasses moments of encounter and interpretation, agency and resistance.
Embodiment is contextual, enwebbed within the specifics of place, time, physiology and culture that together comprise enactment. Embodiment never coincides exactly with the 'body.
Embodiment is not bounded by, nor contained within my own body. Rather my body allows access to and extends into other bodies and entities that make up the world.
Embodiment is the means by which bodies are produced as effects of systems of power... embodied negotiations are the ways in which bodies resist within these systems.
