Contemporary ways of understanding human movements, specifically
movement learning, are heavily dominated by individualistic,
dualistic and mechanistic perspectives. These perspectives are
individualistic in the sense that in research as well as in
educational practice movements/movers are typically
decontextualized, they are dualistic in the sense that the body is
taken to be 'inhabited', even 'governed,' by a rational mind which
is not itself a part of that body; and they are mechanistic in the
sense that movements and movement learning can be 'calculated'.
This approach has supported the dominance of a westernised and
predominantly white, masculinised and heteronormative view of able
bodies, embodiment and movements. Hence, it has contributed to
marginalise not only other approaches and perspectives and
individuals. New research has evolved, including new approaches and
these held perspectives have been challenged by social and
culturally sensitive, holistic as well as pluralistic, and
dynamic/organic perspectives of human movements and moving humans.
Examples of such research can be found in disciplines such as;
physical education and pedagogy, ethnography, philosophy, and
sociology. Learning Movements: New Perspectives of Movement
Education provides the societal and epistemological background for
these new approaches and will be essential in disseminating this
knowledge to movement educators, academics and researchers as well
as professionals within education, sports, health and fitness,
dance, outdoor activities, etc., and that it will spearhead new and
inclusive practices within these settings.
