{"product_id":"intercorporeality-9780190210465","title":"Intercorporeality","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book draws inspiration from Maurice Merleau-Ponty''s concept of intercorporeality to offer a new, multidisciplinary perspective on the body. By drawing attention to the body''s ability to simultaneously sense and be sensed, Merleau-Ponty transcends the object-subject divide and describes how bodies are about, into, and within other bodies. Such inherent relationality constitutes the essence of intercorporeality, and the chapters in this book examine such relationality from a host of diverse perspectives. The book begins with an introductory chapter in which the editors review the current research on bodily interaction, and introduce the notion of intercorporeality as a potentially integrative framework. The first section then offers four chapters devoted to clarifying theoretical and developmental perspectives on intercorporeality. Section 2 contains three chapters that provide insight on intercorporeality from evolutionary, historical, and cross-sectional perspectives. In Section 3, four chapters examine the intercorporeal nature of meaning-making during human interaction. Section 4 then presents three chapters that explore the intercorporeal nature of multi-agent interactions and the role that non-animate bodies (i.e., objects) play in such interaction. Throughout all the chapters, the authors work to integrate research in their specific discipline into the larger, transdisciplinary notion of intercorporeality. This collection provides an indisputably unique perspective on bodies-in-interaction, while simultaneously offering an interdisciplinary way forward in contemporary scholarship on bodies, meaning, and interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile some readers will doubtless find value in individual chapters, this is that rare kind of collection that is worth reading in its entirety as it makes a cohesive argument throughout. Scholars of embodied interaction, and social interaction in general, should pay close attention to how the editors of and contributors to this volume have worked towards an integrated framework. * Dr. Donald Everhart, AMDA College of the Performing Arts, Symbolic Interaction *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors  Acknowledgments   Introduction                     Christian Meyer, Jürgen Streeck \u0026amp; J.
