Embodied Space(s)

Anthropological Theories of Body, Space, and Culture

The Graduate Center, City University of New York

Embodied space is the location where human experience and consciousness takes on material and spatial form. After identifying the inherent difficulties in defining the body, body space, and cultural explanations of body experience, the author traces the evolution of approaches to embodied space including proxemics, phenomenological understandings, spatial orientation, and linguistic dimensions. Embodied space is presented as a model for understanding the creation of place through spatial orientation, movement, and language.

Key Words: spatial orientation • linguistic dimensions • phenomenological understandings
