World-renowned philosopher, Michel Serres writes a text in praise
of the body and movement, in praise of teachers of physical
education, coaches, mountain guides, athletes, dancers, mimes,
clowns, artisans, and artists. This work describes the variations,
the admirable metamorphoses that the body can accomplish. While
animals lack such a variety of gestures, postures, and movements,
the fluidity of the human body mimics the leisure of living beings
and things; what's more, it creates signs. Already here, within its
movements and metamorphoses, the mind is born. The five senses are
not the only source of knowledge: it emerges, in large part, from
the imitations the plasticity of the body allows. In it, with it,
by it knowledge begins.
