Project Details
Description
The project focuses on the experience of the body in illness from a performative, phenomenological, ethnographic and autoethnographic perspective. It investigates the role of movement practices and physical activity in transforming patients’ perspectives and sense of self in relation to their illness. The project explores the interconnection of movement, emotion and environment and how this dynamical relationship shapes patients’ embodied narratives, supports the construction of sense making and their rehabilitation experience.
