The research team in sports and social sciences (E3S) organizes an international and interdisciplinary conference in human and social sciences on the theme of body awareness. The full call for papers can be found here. This conference is being organized in collaboration with the EURIDOL network.
The theme of body awareness has been chosen for this conference, given the marked resurgence of interest in "reconnecting" with the body and sensations in our contemporary societies. We will concentrate on the different areas where body awareness offers new perspectives of practice and research, from healthcare to education, including the arts and sports. However, the increased visibility of this concept has also led to a proliferation of discourses and practices lacking any real conceptual or methodological foundation. These are often driven by the growing popularity of alternative or New Age approaches .The aim of this conference is to clarify the current situation by distinguishing between knowledge and practices that are supported by research and those that are not. Our interdisciplinary approach in the social and human sciences aims to provide a space for reflection on body awareness methodologies. This applies to the fields of healthcare, learning and education , practices and bodily expertise.This cultural, clinical and educational movement raises a central question: What challenges are involved in developing body awareness?
