This article makes a case for connecting knowledge of the sense(s) of self-movement with understanding psychology’s subject matter in terms of relations. It first outlines the history of the sense of movement as a form of awareness and reviews usage of the terms “kinaesthesia,” “proprioception,” and “haptic sense.” It shows that the structure and “feel” of the sense of movement have been thought to be relational, that is, to consist of an active and a passive component, activity–resistance. This article introduces argument that a feeling for reality in sensory experience is bound up with relational processes in movement, putting us “in touch with” the world. The sense of movement has therefore had a significant place in psychology focused on participation in the world, rather than on observation and knowledge of an “external” world. Finally, this article discusses relations of activity–resistance in movement, whether in dance, walking, sport, or in other ways, as relations of forces or powers. The study, in relational language, of powers at work contributes to the existing literature on the sociopolitical understanding of movement practices, particularly with reference to agency. The argument is exemplified by discussion of dance.

本文提出了一种将自我运动感的知识与对关系的理解心理学主题相联系的案例。它首先概述了运动意识作为一种意识形式的历史，并回顾了“运动感觉”，“本体感觉”和“触觉”等术语的用法。它表明，运动感的结构和“感觉”被认为是相关的，即由主动抵抗性和主动抵抗性组成。本文介绍了这样一种论点，即感觉体验中的真实感与运动中的关系过程联系在一起，使我们与世界“保持联系”。因此，运动意识在心理学中的重要地位在于关注世界的参与，而不是观察和了解“外部”世界。最后，本文讨论活动的关系-运动中的阻力，无论是跳舞，散步，运动还是其他方式，如力量或力量的关系。用关系语言对工作中的权力进行的研究，为有关运动实践的社会政治理解的现有文献做出了贡献，特别是在代理方面。该论据以舞蹈的讨论为例。
