무용과 몸 인지의 발제주의적 상호성

Abstract

Humans live in motion. The concentration we do to think seems to be fixed to one thing because we pay a lot of attention but in fact, it constantly changes with the response to what happens around us, transfers from a thought to other thought. Cognitive science has recently seen a rise in the importance of the cognition in body, with the emergence of a ‘embodied cognition’ theory that claims that body senses or actions affect the cognitive function of the mind. In particular, the view of cognition in enactivism asserts the importance of body movement with the idea that thoughts occur not within us, but in what we do, what we achieve. Dance is one of the most primitive forms of communication and expression, a synchronised and beautiful arts activity that can be performed by the human body. Dance essentially involves the perception of rhythm and the perception of movement. The purpose of this study is to expand the academic scope of dance to interdisciplinary research such as neuroscience and cognitive science, and to analyse the special cognition of dancer and what the cognitive process is as well as what the cognitive process contains, by examining the body cognition of the dancer from the perspective of enactivism which explains the cognitive function. To this end, this study firstly, discusses movement as a intersubjective participant from the perspective of enactivism. Secondly, to analyses the cognition mediated by sensorimotor knowledge, it structures the perceptual experience of dancers and depicts the correlation between sensorimotor and possessive knowledge. Thirdly, the behaviour and structure of the mind appearing in our body are explored from the perspective of cognitive science and enactivism to examine the social perception of dance.
