- This 294-page monograph offers the first comprehensive theory of embodied knowledge and its relationship to practice (as) research. It draws extensively on theories of knowledge production from social epistemology and laboratory studies, which had not previously been applied to embodied practices, and offers in-depth treatments of three significant case studies: modern postural yoga, post-Grotowskian actor training, and new techniques of gender in everyday life. The book develops an original framework, drawing a generative distinction between technique and practice, which it applies across the case studies as well as to the development of embodied/practice research in contemporary academia.
