The emerging field of body ecology offers fresh insights into how
the body engages with its surrounding environment through
consciousness, perception, knowledge and emotion. In this
groundbreaking collection, leading scholars of sport, leisure and
philosophy draw on research on topics as diverse as surfing,
freediving, slacklining, parkour, bodybuilding, dance and circus
arts to flesh out the concept of body ecology and its potential for
helping us understand our connection with the world around us.
Touching on theories of subjectivity, embodiment, pleasure and
play, this book explores different approaches to studying body
ecology as a way of conceptualising the experience of being
immersed in nature, in the elements and in one's own body through
the power of awareness. An experience becomes emersive when it
involves the production of new emotions in the body: emersion is
the activation of what is living within the body itself. Shedding
new light on the possibilities of physical cultural studies, Body
Ecology and Emersive Leisure is fascinating reading for all
students and scholars with an interest in sport, leisure,
philosophy and the body.
