Abstract [sv]

Denna essä undersöker förkroppsligade kunskaper inom Authentic Movement. Kunskaper bottnade i författarens handlande som dans-och rörelseterapeut och lärare. Utifrån gestaltade yrkeserfarenheter initieras ett sökande efter ord för den icke-verbala kunskapen genom filosofiska och teologiska horisonter snarare än genom en naturvetenskaplig begreppsram. Den praktiska kunskapen reflekteras utifrån ett Aristoteliskt perspektiv med särskild blick på olika former av kunskap, handlande och olika vägar att undervisa på. Författaren reflekterar kring evidensbegreppet och, utan att gå i polemik med det, utforskas kunskaper som inte enkelt låter sig fångas i en manual. Utforskandet och reflektionen sker genom att, förutom Aristoteles, ta avstamp primärt från filosoferna Emanuel Levinas och Simone Weil.

Författarens bidrar till den egna yrkespraktiken genom att identifiera ord och begrepp som vidgar och ger en fördjupad förståelse för den förkroppsligade kunskapen inom dans -och rörelseterapeutisk praktik med särskilt fokus på Authentic Movement.

Abstract [en]

This essay will examine embodied knowledge within Authentic Movement. The knowledge presented herein is rooted in the author's professional experience as a Dance Movement Therapist and teacher. A search is initiated to find words based on embodied professional experiences. The author identifies the concept of non-verbal knowledge by drawing upon philosophical and theological perspectives, rather than using a scientific conceptual framework. The practical knowledge is reflected from an Aristotelian perspective, with particular reference to different forms of knowledge, action and different ways of teaching. The author reflects on the concept of evidence and, without engaging in polemics, explores knowledge that cannot easily be captured in a manual. The exploration and reflection takes place by, in addition to Aristotle, taking as a starting point primarily the philosophers Emmanuel Levinas and Simone Weil.

The author contributes to the own professional practice by identifying words and concepts that broaden and provide a deeper understanding of the embodied knowledge within dance and movement therapeutic practice, with a particular focus on Authentic Movement.
