Embodiment Cognition and Reading Body: educational reflections on body, reading, and learning
Keywords:
embodiment, embodied cognition, reading mind, reading body, learning, educationAbstract
Starting from the reflection on embodiment cognition, in the wake of that "material turning point" (Nikolajeva, 2016) which has returned depth of analysis to the body and the material spaces of life in children's books, this essay intends to reflect on reading as an educational and learning embodied experience. In the necessary interconnection and reciprocity between reading mind and reading body, immersion in stories is not only a bodily and imaginative experience, but also an opportunity for discussion and encounter between bodies, of adults and children, of paper, whose steps between the pages of the books are a precious and indispensable guide in our learning history, in the construction of critical and reflective thinking, in the regulation of emotions and feelings.
