Le sol urbain : un arrière-plan de l’expérience somatique des ambiances urbaines / Urban ground : a basis for the somatic experience of urban atmospheresGermon, Olivia 21 March 2017 (has links)
Le sol en tant que support de la vie urbaine est encore peu pensé par la recherche architecturale et urbaine. Dans un monde où la concurrence entre villes se joue entre autres sur la qualité des espaces publics, il est pourtant un élément essentiel des usages pédestres. Le pied le foule, l’œil le fait entrer dans l’horizon perceptif sans qu’on s’y attarde, et sans qu’une recherche approfondie nous en ait montré toutes les dimensions sensibles.Après un rappel historique des enjeux de l’aménagement du sol urbain, nous nous penchons sur la façon dont celui-ci est très tôt intégré dans la structuration de l’expérience vécue par tout un chacun, notamment lors de l’apprentissage de la marche. Le sol est une donnée première de l’environnement et joue un rôle dans la formation de l’équilibre, du sens de la proprioception. Il participe ainsi à l’arrière-plan corporel de l’expérience, en même temps qu’il est une surface d’échanges. En matière d’architecture et d’urbanisme, nous faisons l’hypothèse que le sol fait partie du fond de l’ambiance : il contribue à l’arrière-plan ambiantal de l’expérience sensorielle des espaces publics. Pour avancer sur ces hypothèses, trois corpus sont constitués : le premier, à partir d’une écoute réactivée de vingt sons enregistrés à Paris, analyse la part du sol dans la qualité sonore de l’ambiance vécue ; le second, issu d’observations et de relevés vidéo sur deux terrains comparés à Barcelone et La Défense, permet d’évoquer les relations entre topographie et mobilité ; le troisième, issu de l’expérimentation de dix parcours commentés effectués les yeux fermés sur une partie du site de La Défense, tente d’approcher l’expérience somatique dans le rapport au sol : comment se joue la relation entre le sol et le « soma » ? Pour conclure, nous discutons les apports réciproques entre Ambiances et Somatiques, deux disciplines au cœur desquelles le sentir est exploré. Que peuvent apporter les somatiques aux ambiances en terme de méthode d’étude, du point de vue théorique et pour l’approche du projet ? / The ground as a support for urban life remains a largely understudied topic in architectural and urban research. In a world where towns compete to offer a better quality of public spaces, pedestrian use is considered as an essential aspect. Felt underfoot and seen on the perceptual horizon without being consciously considered, very little in-depth research has revealed its sentient dimensions.After some brief historical considerations on the importance of urban ground, the study focuses on how the ground is integrated into the lived experience of our environment, beginning with how we learn to walk. The ground is a fundamental dimension and plays an essential role in keeping balance and creating a sense of proprioception. It participates as a basis for bodily experience by providing a surface of exchange. In terms of architecture and urban design, this study posits the ground as part of the ambiance as it constitutes the ambient background of the sensory experience of public spaces. In order to develop this hypothesis three case studies are considered: the first, based on a reactivated listening of twenty sounds recorded in Paris to provide an analysis of the role that the ground plays in experiencing the ambiance; the second, a comparative set of observations and video recordings taken in two sites in Barcelona and La Défense in Paris; the third, is based on ten blind-folded commented walks carried out at La Défense. It tries to examine what the somatic experience of the ground entails, how does the relationship between the ground and the “soma” take place? In conclusion, the reciprocal contributions of Ambiances and Somatics are considered in relation to this material as we ask what new theoretical approaches these disciplines can provide in exploring body experience.

A Return to the Body: Individual Wholeness and Community HarmonyMason, Hannah 01 April 2013 (has links)
The return to body awareness, or embodiment, is necessary for individual and communal harmony. A reflection on the use of dance in tribal societies suggests their importance in creating community and identifies how they were prohibited during colonization and thereafter. Subsequently, an investigation into current American culture in the 21st century finds a disembodied culture, as defined by the lack of awareness to the body as a living entity. Embodiment practices are suggested for a return to individual harmony and communal dancing as the solution for community harmony. Lastly, a personal exploration into the making and creating of danced rituals suggests the power of dance to heal, transform, and unite humanity.

Espace sensible : expérience inter-sensorielle et corporelle, à partir des dispositifs musicaux interactifs / Sensitive space : inter-sensory and physical experience, based on interactive musical devicesKo, Yi-Chun 09 November 2015 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche s’inspire de l’approche d’énaction élaborée par F.-J Varela lorsqu’il développa sa théorie de la cognition incarnée. Pour qu’une propriété cognitive soit incarnée, il faut que l’organisme vivant s’engage perceptivement dans un processus dynamique avec le monde environnant. Afin de développer les moyens musicaux pour motiver les auditeurs à s’approprier leurs expériences vécues, nous proposons le terme « d’espace sensible » dans le but d’articuler le jeu d’écoute musicale et de l’expérience inter-sensorielle et corporelle. Cette dernière consiste en l’expérience d’interaction sensorielle entre l’extéroception et la proprioception. De même, nous spécifions l’expérience corporelle sur ses deux aspects : le corps physique et le corps virtuel – leschéma corporel et l’image du corps. La relation inharmonieuse de ces deux aspects du corps entraînera chez un sujet-percevant une tension, voire une souffrance, physique et psychique. Pour entraîner le sujet-percevant à prendre conscience de cette discordance, différentes méthodes de rééducation somatique sont développées. Dans ce contexte, émettons l’hypothèse que l’utilisation de dispositifs musicaux interactifs peut contribuer à l’exploration de l’espace sensible et ainsi exercer un impact bénéfique dans le cadre de la rééducation somatique. Les moyens de démonstration consistent en la construction et le test de protocoles de jeux d’écoute, à exposer le public à des dispositifs multimédia interactifs ainsi que l’étude de cas propre aux enfants atteints d’autisme. Nous nous approprions plusieurs techniques pour mettre en place des dispositifs musicaux interactifs : l’improvisation collaborative, la synchronisation spontanée de la posture et du mouvement corporel, l’empathie kinesthésique réciproque. Enfin, nous mettons en évidence les effets bénéfiques de l’introduction des dispositifs musicaux numériques dans le cadre du soin somatique. A la vue de ces résultats expérimentaux, nous sommes autorisés à affirmer que l’exploration de l’écoute peut avoir un impact bénéfique dans un contexte de rééducation somatique à condition que l’écoute soit en acte et vécue musicalement. / This research was inspired by the enactive approach elaborated by F.-J Varelawhen he developed the embodied cognition theory; a living organism has to be involved physically and perceptually in a dynamic process with its surrounding environment so that a cognitive property can be embodied. To develop musical possibilities to motivate the listeners to appropriate their real life experiences, we are proposing the term "sensitive space" to articulate two practices of inter-sensory and physical experience : gameplay of musical listening and somatic exercise. This inter-sensory experience consists of the sensory interaction between exteroception and proprioception. We also focus on two specific aspects of this physical experience: the physical body and the virtual body - the body schema and the body image. The inharmonious relation of these two aspects will lead to a tension, sometimes to physical and psychic pain. To help the perceiving subject to become aware of this conflict, various somatic techniques are developed. We emit the hypothesis that the use of interactive musical devices can contribute to the exploration of the sensitive space, and thus bring a beneficial impact in somatic learning and rehabilitation. Several ways of demonstrating are: 1) the construction and tests of listening gameplay protocols, 2) the public exhibition of interactive multimedia devices 3) the case study on children affected by autism. We use different techniques to set up interactive musical devices: collective improvisation, spontaneous synchronization of the posture or the physical movement, kinesthetic empathy, etc. Finally, we highlight the beneficial aspects of introducing the interactive musical devices within the framework of healthcare. With these experimental results, we can then assert that the exploration of musical listening can have a beneficial impact in the context of somatic learning, on the condition that the listening is an act and lived musically.

How To: Use Craft as an Everyday Intervention of JoyNeufeldt, Ciara January 2023 (has links)
This paper questioned how we could utilise feelings of joy, specifically those within a craft context, as a tool of intervention in everyday life. I explored using craft, both in its making and experiencing, as a means for carrying joy into the daily life of the public, thereby increasing well-being and potentially acting as a catalyst for change. I argued the importance of joy in our lives, as well as the need for public accessibility to art and craft. I wanted to use this paper to draw focus on the value I place upon somatic engagement of the body, specifically when we engage with craft, art and our everyday lives. I believe that by centring the experience of the body and educating about the importance of somatics, we can explore a different methodology for engaging with our everyday environments. I argued somatic understanding is critical, as it allows us to move from a purely cognitive understanding to one that is experiential, thereby creating a more accessible and inclusive framework for creating and understanding art and craft.

Folkdans och somatik : en kvalitativ studie om folkdanskroppen och somatik i folkdansundervisning / Folk dance and SomaticsWesp, Henrike January 2019 (has links)
This study aims to investigate how dance teachers who are educated in Swedish folk dance are reflecting and thinking over the body and the use of bodily self-awareness in their teaching. Furthermore it wants to examine whether the use of somatic principles can act as a tool to support the ideas which dance teachers express. Four folk dance teachers have been interviewed as qualitative empirical material. These interviews have been transcribed and analyzed using codes and categories. The result of the study provides an image of the body as it is seen in folk dance today and points out similarities between that picture and somatics. Folk dance and somatics treat the whole body as a single unit and strive towards a relaxed and functional way of moving. Since folk dance and somatics have these similarities the possibility of using somatic principles in folk dance, such as training to gain consciousness of the body and its different parts to be able to relax actively, is discussed. However the result of this study shows how a rather small part of folk dance teachers think, since it only provides the opinions of four different teachers.

Haplós : towards technologies for, and applications of, somaestheticsMaranan, Diego Silang January 2017 (has links)
How can vibrotactile stimuli be used to create a technology-mediated somatic learning experience? This question motivates this practice-based research, which explores how the Feldenkrais Method and cognate neuroscience research can be applied to technology design. Supported by somaesthetic philosophy, soma-based design theories, and a critical acknowledgement of the socially-inflected body, the research develops a systematic method grounded in first- and third-person accounts of embodied experience to inform the creation and evaluation of design of Haplós, a wearable, user-customisable, remote-controlled technology that plays methodically composed vibrotactile patterns on the skin in order to facilitate body awareness—the major outcome of this research and a significant contribution to soma-based creative work. The research also contributes to design theory and somatic practice by developing the notion of a somatic learning affordance, which emerged during course of the research and which describes the capacity of a material object to facilitate somatic learning. Two interdisciplinary collaborations involving Haplós contribute to additional fields and disciplines. In partnership with experimental psychologists, Haplós was used in a randomised controlled study that contributes to cognitive psychology by showing that vibrotactile compositions can reduce, with statistical significance, intrusive food-related thoughts. Haplós was also used in Bisensorial, an award-winning, collaboratively developed proof-of-concept of a neuroadaptive vibroacoustic therapeutic device that uses music and vibrotactile stimuli to induce desired mental states. Finally, this research contributes to cognitive science and embodied philosophy by advancing a neuroscientific understanding of vibrotactile somaesthetics, a novel extension of somaesthetic philosophy.

RISK, RESPECT & UNSPEAKABLE ACTS : Untangling Intimate-Sexual Consent through 'Intuitive Inquiry' & 'Agential Realism' / RISK, RESPEKT & OBESKRIVLIGA HANDLINGAR : 'Untangling' intimt-sexuellt samtycke genom 'Intuitive Inquiry' & 'Agential Realism'Storm, Frida January 2021 (has links)
In an attempt to address the issues in research and theory on consent, this thesis explores what consent can be seen as "doing" through an 'Intuitive Inquiry' (Anderson 2011a) and 'Agential Realism' (Barad 2007). Various manifestations of consent appears through: the experience of the researcher, consent research and theory, consent legislation, interviews with professionals in intimate-sexual consent, and, feminist fanzines. Consent evokes issues around agency, power, communication, respect, violence, risk, morals and ethics that go beyond sexual-intimate negotiation. Consent emerges as multiple, complex and fluid in 'intra-action' (ibid.) with the context. Entanglements and paradoxes of consent are further explored in 'diffractive analysis' (ibid.) through "bodily autonomy" and"rights/obligations". As a phenomenon, consent appears to make agency and power intelligible (to different degrees), but, can not be said to provide a viable strategy against sexual violence. The tenets of consent discourse risk (re)producing anxieties around intimacy and sex, responsibilizing survivors and obfuscating sexual violence. Further and improved research on communication in everyday sexual negotiation, sexual violence, consent legislation and what consent "does" is urgently needed.Through creative method and new epistemology the thesis (re)presents a knowledge process true to lived experience, as well as, an invitation to pull the terrible wonderful world, it's complexities, and us in it, closer. / I ett försök att ta itu med problem inom forskning och teori om 'consent' undersöker denna avhandling vad samtycke kan ses som ”göra” genom 'Intuitiv Inquiry' (Anderson 2011a) och'Agential Realism' (Barad 2007). Olika manifestationer av 'consent' framträder genom: forskarens erfarenheter, samtyckes-forskning och teori, samtyckelagstiftning, intervjuer med professionella inom samtycke, och, feministiska fanzines. Samtycke väcker frågor kring agens, makt, kommunikation, respekt, våld, risk, moral och etik som går bortom sexuella-intima förhandlingar. Samtycke framträder som multipelt, komplext och rörligt i 'intra-action' (ibid.) med kontexten. 'Entanglements' och paradoxer inom samtycke undersöks vidare i 'diffraktiv analys' (ibid.) genom "kroppslig autonomi" och"rättigheter/skyldigheter". Som ett fenomen gör samtycke agens och makt möjlig att tänka (iolika grad), men kan inte sägas bidra med en hållbar strategi mot sexuellt våld. Grundsatserna i samtyckesdiskursen riskerar att (re)producera ängsla kring intima-sexuella situationer, responsibilisera offer och dölja sexuellt våld. Ytterligare och förbättrad forskning är i akut behov kring kommunikation i vardagliga sexuella förhandlingar, sexuellt våld, samtyckeslagstiftning och vad samtycke "gör". Genom kreativ metod och ny epistemologi (re)presenterar avhandlingen en kunskapsprocesssom är trogen till levd verklighet, samt en inbjudan att närma sig, den fruktansvärda underbara världen, dess komplexitet, och oss inom den.
