Mereology: Body, Movement and Action
摘要
Kinaesthetic analyses must first be based on the analysis of body configurations, mereological relationships between body parts, and the directionality of individual body parts and the whole body. It is important to distinguish movement from action, kinesthesis from semiosis, and to emphasise the latter as an a posteriori unfolding of the semantic dimension of kinaesthetic movement, as the basis for narratives about kinaesthesia, and finally as the basis for specific languages of analysis such as kinesitherapy, ergonomics, Labanotation, etc. This last topic requires further elucidation in the context of bodily practices.
