UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPTS PERIPERSONAL SPACE, BODY SCHEMA AND BODY IMAGE

Hübsch, Magnus January 2012 (has links)
This study will look into to the concepts of Peripersonal Space, The Body Schema and The Body Image. It examines how the terms are typically used and describes the various views about the concepts found in the literature, as well as the contradictions between these views. In the section “The Difficulty to Differentiate the Concepts” the reader gets a deeper understanding of which criteria researchers use to differentiate the concepts from one another. The fact that there are changes in kineamethic model and sensation in humans when they are using a rake is proposed as support for the idea that also the body schema is involved in tool use. In differentiating the Body schema – Body Image from each other (and other types of body representation) we come to the conclusion that positive definitions about different representations is needed and that researchers should unite their views what the definitions should be. We also mention a problem based on the possibility on infinite body representations and a solution by a Bayesian model is proposed that looks at the input as well as the output in experiments.

"Corpos em movimento: conceitos e perspectivas na virada do século XXI" / BODIES IN MOTION: CONCEPTS AND PERSPECTIVES IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Malagoli, Ligia Sampaio 26 May 2006 (has links)
Neste estudo, buscou-se refletir e analisar os conceitos de corpo que veicularam, a partir de eventos marcantes, durante o século XX, na civilização ocidental, com especial atenção à sociedade brasileira. Historicamente, a palavra corpo e seus sentidos, foram sendo construídos socialmente e, então, carregados de signos e símbolos. O desenvolvimento de diversas áreas dentro da tecnologia e das ciências, durante o século XX, alterou a maneira de olhar o corpo. Examinam-se, portanto, os tantos corpos vivenciados naquele século, dos quais escolheu-se três conceitos para serem preliminarmente discutidos: o corpo tabu, o corpo instrumento e o corpo identidade. Estes correspondem, respectivamente, à diferenciados aspectos de influências sociais. O entendimento de novos corpos e novos conceitos corporais, na virada do século XXI, rompeu tabus, todavia, as influências do sistema capitalista trouxeram o consumo de um padrão estético, que reflete o corpo como objeto e imagem desvinculados do humano. A insegurança gerada por uma transformação na identidade corpo - ser humano desnuda um momento de inércia, e propõe uma busca incansável por valores perdidos. / This study is a result of reflections on and analysis of the concept of the body through historically significant events of the 20th century in Western society, but with special attention to Brazilian society. Historically, the word “body" and its meanings have been socially constructed to carry a variety of signs and symbols. The development of diverse fields in technology and science (e.g. computer science and biotechnology) led to changed views among scholars about the body as a human phenomenon. Formerly, some aspects had influenced the three most intriguing concepts of body: the Body-Taboo, the Body-Instrument and the Body-Identity. New understandings of “bodies" helped to challenge older taboos however, capitalist values brought consumption of specific aesthetic patterns that reflect the “body as an object and image detached from human beings." The insecurity generated by changes to the identity “body/human being" brings moments of inertia and yet also provokes an indefatigable search for missing humanitarian values.
