Meaning in Our Bodies: Sensory Experience as Constructive Theological Imagination: AAR Academy Series

Autor Heike Peckruhn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iun 2017
Movement, smell, vision, and other perceptual experiences are ways of thinking and orienting ourselves in the world. And yet the appeal to experience as resource for theology, though a significant shift in contemporary scholarship, has seldom received nuanced investigation. How do embodied differences like gender, race, disability, and sexuality highlight theological analysis and connect to perceptual experience and theological imagination? In Meaning in Our Bodies, Heike Peckruhn offers historical and cultural comparisons, showing how sensory experience may order normalcy, social status, or communal belonging. Ultimately, she argues that scholars who appeal to the importance of bodily experiences need to acquire a robust and nuanced understanding of how sensory perceptions and interactions are cultural and theological acts of making meaning.

Recenzii

Given the danger of body theology slipping into a merely metaphorical use of body, or being used to theorize about body rather than within our bodies, Peckruhn's continued return to sensory experiences, scents, movements, and bodily orientations is most helpful. This is perhaps the dimension of her book that is most inspiring as an example for how we do theology as embodied beings, making theological sense in our sensory experiences.
