Abstract:This review paper examines some of the main theoretical influences prompting a reappreciation of the importance of the body and how it may be conceived as relevant to information studies (IS). It starts by placing this increased recognition of the body in its historical and social context. It then examines, in turn, how the body is viewed in the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty; practice theory; embodied cognition; and sensory studies. Existing and potential influences in information studies are discussed. Most work that reexamines the place of the body reflects the influence of Merleau-Ponty, but he has had relatively little direct impact on IS. Practice theory does deal with the body, and this has already been picked up quite strongly in IS. Work in the area of embodied cognition has the potential to fundamentally change our view of the relation of the mind and the body, and information as an aspect of that relation. Sensory studies offers a powerful framework for examining the cultural shaping of the senses as a source of information. The implications of the bodily turn for methodology are briefly discussed.

丰富的知识和感官信息：理论根源和启示

摘要：本文回顾了一些主要的理论影响，促使人们重新认识了人体的重要性，以及它如何被认为与信息研究（IS）相关。首先，要在历史和社会背景下增强对身体的认识。然后，它依次研究了在梅洛-庞蒂的现象学中如何看待身体；实践理论 体现的认知；和感官研究。讨论了信息研究中的现有和潜在影响。重新检查身体位置的大多数工作都反映了Merleau-Ponty的影响，但他对IS的直接影响相对较小。实践理论的确与身体有关，这在IS中已经得到了强烈的重视。体现认知领域的工作有可能从根本上改变我们对身心关系的看法，而信息是这种关系的一个方面。感官研究提供了一个强大的框架，可以检验作为信息来源的感官的文化形态。简要讨论了身体转向对方法的影响。
