ABSTRACT

Body Phenomenology is introduced as a framework for deepening critical reflection on practice by attending to the active engagement between the practitioner and their world. Fook’s Critical Reflection on Practice is outlined as an established model of critical reflection that misses the role of the body in reflection. This is followed by an introduction to body phenomenology through Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of embodiment, motility and experience. Conceptions of embodiment are examined to highlight the dynamics of human experience through body-world relations. It is argued that using the body to reflect on life and experience can offer enhanced critical insight on practice and support deeper consciousness regarding one’s manner of knowing, relating, and moving through situations. The paper ends with a call for practitioners and students to consider incorporating body phenomenology into their reflective processes to gain rich personal and practice insights through embodied reflection in movement.

摘要

引入人体现象学作为框架，通过参与从业者及其世界之间的积极参与，加深对实践的批判性思考。福克的《实践批判性反思》被概述为一种既定的批判性反思模型，但却错过了人体在反思中的作用。随后，通过Merleau-Ponty的体现力，运动力和经验哲学对人体现象学进行了介绍。研究了实施的概念，以强调通过身体与世界的关系人类体验的动力。有人认为，利用身体来反思生活和经验可以增强对实践的批判性见识，并支持人们对情况的了解，联系和移动的更深层次的意识。
