Your final project assignment is to create a meaningful contribution to Embodied Cognition scholarship.
It must be accompanied by an abstract and bibliography of at least five sources I attached.
A book review discusses just some of the book in detail, but should have a general sense of the whole. A book review cites other relevant sources. You can add personal thoughts and arguments! Your personal perspective should be informed by work in our class.
I mainly propose to discuss several chapters in Welch’s book – chapters 1, 2, 3, and 6. The purpose of this review is to analyze where the “dance” is derived from, who or what dominates the dance movement, the influence of the affect composed when dancing, and the potential application of therapy from dance from the perspective of embodiment. The difference between choreography and improvisation brings different moral development in a cultural and social context is also discussed later.
