Embodiment and Representation
Peter Lang AG (Verlag)
978-3-631-84147-1 (ISBN)
In this volume, questions at the intersection of mental representations and their verbal and non-verbal means of expression are discussed, using embodiment theory as a basis. Focus is placed on establishing interdisciplinary relationships between linguistics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, cultural studies, literary studies and translation studies. The theoretical reflections are studied in a vast catalogue of different culture-specific phenomena from the world’s most diverse European, Asian, African and Ancient American cultures. The book is divided into three parts: 1. The Relation of Body, Mind and Language, 2. Culture-Specific Concepts and their Linguistic and Ideographic Expression, and 3. Embodiment, Disembodiment, Intercorporeality and Physical Expression.
