On Running and Becoming Human: An Anthropological Perspective

Autor Thomas F. Carter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2018
How does the simple act of running make us human? As a form of enskilled movement that shapes how we perceive our surroundings, running enacts a mindful bodily engagement with the world, an engagement that generates our very minds through perceptual learning. Thomas F. Carter examines the interrelated aspects of a runner’s being—mind, body, and environs—to illustrate that the skillful act of locomotion is one of principle ways that we as human beings become integral parts of the larger world. Synthesizing recent developments in neuroscience, anthropology, and philosophy of mind,On Runningproves there is more to running than merely clocking up the miles.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

How does the simple act of running make us human? As a form of enskilled movement that shapes how we perceive our surroundings, running enacts a mindful bodily engagement with the world, an engagement that generates our very minds through perceptual learning. Thomas F. Carter examines the interrelated aspects of a runner’s being—mind, body, and environs—to illustrate that the skillful act of locomotion is one of principle ways that we as human beings become integral parts of the larger world. Synthesizing recent developments in neuroscience, anthropology, and philosophy of mind, On Running proves there is more to running than merely clocking up the miles.

Caracteristici

Fills a gap by presenting an exploration of running that is both scholarly and rigorous while at the same time personal, reflective, and accessible 

Makes a substantial original contribution to the anthropology of sport, the body, and sports studies by locating the text within the still fairly new field of neuro-anthropology 

A timely contribution given the growing interest in running in both scholarly and popular circles
