Drawing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept of “intercorporeality,” this book offers a new multidisciplinary perspective on human interaction. Intercorporeality is presented as an alternative to conceptions of the body that increasingly obstruct productive dialogue and collaboration between the disciplines. Examples of such conceptions include notions of the body as a container of psychic phenomena, a medium of outward expression, or a vehicle of social processes. Instead, this book conceives of the living body in terms of its interaction with other bodies and its openness to and engagement with the material and cultural world. Intercorporeality synthesizes converging approaches to embodiment into a new empirically saturated theoretical conception that will serve as an integrated framework for future research on “multimodal” interaction in the context of complex, material contexts of human life and action. Bringing together theory and empirical research from a variety of disciplines, the contributions to Intercorporeality share a foundation in phenomenology, pragmatism, and philosophical anthropology, on the one hand, and advanced interaction research, on the other.
