Description

What a Body Can Do presents a comprehensive theory of embodied technique as knowledge, arguing that viewing technique as both training and research offers valuable insights into practice within academic and cultural settings. Ben Spatz draws on critical perspectives from sociology of knowledge, phenomenology, dance studies, and enactive cognition to demonstrate that technique constitutes a major area of historical and ongoing research across physical culture, performing arts, and everyday life. This book addresses contemporary debates on the role of practice in universities and explores how embodied practices function as legitimate forms of knowledge production and research methodology.

Key Features

Ben Spatz develops a rigorous theoretical framework examining embodied technique as a form of knowledge applicable to academic and professional contexts.

The book integrates perspectives from dance studies, phenomenology, sociology of knowledge, and enactive cognition to build a comprehensive argument about practice-based research.

What a Body Can Do explores technique as both training methodology and research practice across physical culture, performing arts, and everyday life.

Published by Routledge, this academic text contributes to ongoing debates about the legitimacy and value of practice-as-research approaches in contemporary universities.
