Somaesthetics and Sport: Studies in Somaesthetics, cartea 5

Andrew Edgar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2022
Somaesthetics and Sport brings together a diverse set of explorations into the embodied experience of watching and playing sport. Sport can at once be a source of sensual beauty and pleasure, and also of pain and anguish; spectators can both celebrate and glorify athletes, but also expect certain forms of behaviour, and intentionally or otherwise police the movements of their bodies; sport and physical exercise can improve our health and increase the self-awareness of our abilities and limitations, but they also help us to shape our sense of what it means to live a good life.

Recenzii

“The ten essays collected in Somaesthetics and Sport, edited by Andrew Edgar and published as part of Brill’s book series Studies in Somaesthetics, show us the many ways the interdisciplinary project of somaesthetics can inspire and reinvigorate the aesthetics of sport... Somaesthetics and Sport is a multifaceted collection of essays: Shusterman’s theoretical framework is robust enough to lend unity to the volume, but it mostly functions as a springboard for the individual papers, never suffocating their theoretical explorations or making the book repetitive or a boring read. The ten essays also communicate with one another through certain recurring notions” - Botond Csuka, in: Journal of the Philosophy of Sport (29 January 2023)
