African Somaesthetics: Cultures, Feminisms, Politics de Catherine F. Botha

African Somaesthetics: Cultures, Feminisms, Politics: Studies in Somaesthetics, cartea 3

Catherine F. Botha
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 noi 2020
In African Somaesthetics: Cultures, Feminisms, Politics, Catherine F. Botha brings together original research on the body in African cultures, specifically interrogating the possibilities of the contribution of a somaesthetic approach in the context of colonization, decolonization, and globalization in Africa.

The innovative contributions that consider the somaesthetic dimensions of experience in the context of Africa (centred broadly around the themes of politics, feminisms, and cultures) reflect a diversity of perspectives and positions. The book is a first of its kind in gathering together novel and focused analyses of the body as conceived of from an African perspective.

Notă biografică

Catherine F. Botha (Ph.D., Philosophy, Radboud University Nijmegen) is professor of Philosophy at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. She uses her expertise in the phenomenological tradition and its precursors in the continental tradition (most especially the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger) as a lens through which to approach the focus of her research - the philosophy of art, with a special focus on the philosophy of dance. She has published numerous articles and chapters in the philosophy of dance, with her most recent publication “The Dancing Body and the Transmission of Collective Memory in South Africa” appearing in the Routledge Companion to Dance Studies in 2020.
