Body anthropology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Body anthropology in the broader sense is the study of human corporeality from a human science perspective. It has its historical roots in cultural anthropology and the sociology of the body.

Experimental body anthropology

Experimental body anthropology has been developed since 1985 within the framework of the Franco-Danish-German Institute International d'Anthropologie Corporelle (IIAC). The initiative came from French educationalists and focused on different fields of research that are otherwise separate as academic disciplines: history , cultural sociology , ethnology , cultural anthropology , social psychology , sports science , dance studies and pedagogy .

Body anthropology was understood as a critical theory that reacts to the technological functionalization of the body and the reduction of body knowledge through narrowly scientistic test sciences.

In experimental body anthropology, impulses from French situationism and the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu combined with those from German critical theory ( Frankfurt School ) and Danish body culture studies.
