Introduction : Embodiment—A Challenge for Learning and Education

• The aim of this handbook is to show how important embodiment is for learning and education. This is recognized by modern cognitive science, since consciousness and cognitive processes cannot exist without a physical body with which to interact. The connection has long been known in Anthropology, Cultural Studies and the Humanities. Today, there is hardly any scientific discipline that is not interested in processes of embodiment. The handbook brings together a wide range of interdisciplinary research from different countries, providing an overview of embodiment from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Analysing human beings as learners, investigating corporeality and the senses, studying mimetic and performative processes, examining imagination and emotion and exploring tacit knowledge, the handbook provides a variety of historical, empirical, philosophical and intercultural perspectives on the relationship between embodiment and learning.
