Item type:Publication, Genetic Phenomenology of the Complementarity Between Surrealism and RadiologyIn the article, we explore, from the perspective of genetic phenomenology, the embodied image consciousness in terms of two distinct cases, i.e.: surrealism as social and/or artistic movement as well as radiology as cognitive and/or social praxis. Both scientifically and socially, consciousness is still regarded as coextensive with language, which has its own logic and its own set of relations, and imposes its order that conceals the duration as well as the discontinuity of (lived) experiential states. Certain media are able to disclose the very logic of manifestation (movement as the ground of identity) better than direct perception. While analyzing these instances of mediation, we can, on the other hand, experience the true insistence of language and the symbolic order within embodied consciousness. Hence, individual identity can appear in many ways. These ways are also the correlates of modes of medical imaging and surrealist artistic techniques. Both, in turn, presuppose certain skills (adapted to the manifestation of environments) to stabilize the perceptual constancy of an object in its multimodal appearances.

Item type:Publication, Situating Skills: Emergent Dynamic Reconfigurations of Activities in the Transition from a Learning Environment to Another(Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, 2025); The paper aims to provide a broad construct for understanding skills, what they are, and the ways in which they are situated, i.e., dependent on the conditions for their exercise. Adding to Hinchliffe's approach, we made skillsā transferability not only a key aspect of their conceptualization but also a way of exploring their deeply embodied nature and their intricate relation with complex situations. While there is a growing body of research regarding concrete aspects of embodied cognition in learning environments, little attention is given to skilful performances while transferring them into different (mediatized and non-mediatized) learning environments. Our theoretical and empirical investigation offers a preliminary picture of how skills are reconfigured and redeployed in transitioning from one learning environment to another. Regarding the structure of skill, we enlarged Hinchliffeās approach, integrating the perspective of conversational analysis. The structure of skills can be made explicit if we follow their build-up from simple abilities and their integration into larger structures. According to our view, being skilful means that one can cope with scripted and unscripted interactions and move easily between them Ā©The authors Ā©Meta Ā©Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi.18 21 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Embodied cognition and the imaging of bio-pathologies: the question of experiential primacy in detecting diagnostic phenomenaThis article investigates the origins of the experiences involved in the diagnostics (detection and normative evaluation) of biological entities in image-based medical praxis. Our specific research aim presupposes a vast discussion regarding the origins of knowledge in general, but is narrowed down to the alternatives of anthropomorphism and biomorphism. Accordingly, in the subsequent chapters we will make an attempt to investigate and illustrate what holds the diagnostic experiential situation togetherābiological regularities, manifestation via movement, conscious synthesis, causal categories, or something else. We argue that as long as knowledge originates out of practices, a promising way forward is to oscillate between the prominent although controversial ideas of the history of philosophy and observations of concrete human practices, such as, in our chosen example, image-based medical diagnostics of biological pathologies. Although a number of thinkers are involved in the discussion, Aristotle and Husserl are most important here as the representatives of historical paradigms on the matter. The body in this research was not taken solely as the physical entity (Kƶrper) but rather as a transcendental, constitutive structure where diagnostic and biological processes synchronize in teleological movement (Leib). However, philosophical speculations are illustrated by actual radiograms, the interpretation of which brings us back to the aforementioned question of primacy regarding cognition.

Item type:Publication, A critical-embodied phenomenology of Mestizo identity: Corporeality in the ecology of Mexican MuralismIn this article, we consider Mexican Muralism, specifically the works of Diego Rivera, as a prominent manifestation of artistic media ecologies that provide affordances for conversations and interactions which amplify social beliefs and turn subjective judgements into intersubjective reality. We analyse this reality from the perspectives of embodied cognition and critical phenomenology. We use this conceptual apparatus to examine the genesis of mestizo identity in the specific medium of Mexican Muralism. We aim to clarify the particular lived experience of the mestizo subaltern condition and its relation to the origins of mestizo subjectivity. This article argues that Riveraās murals, understood through a framework of critical phenomenology and media ecology, offer embodied, spatial strategies that disrupt colonized forms of perception and imagination, thereby contributing to a reconfiguration of subjectivity. Moreover, we examine how visible markers of social identity ā such as gender, race and class ā are mediated by murals and thus inform the personal awareness and experience of inequality.

Item type:Publication, Enactive approach to social interactions in religious media ecologiesIn this article we examine the role of the body in constituting specific social interactions via religious media ecologies from the perspective of the enactive embodied cognition. Religious media ecologies give affordances for conversation and interaction which amplify not only religious but also social beliefs and turn subjective judgements into an intersubjective reality. Hence, despite the traditional emphasis on rational, verbal forms of social interaction, we consider the human body to be something of a cognitive pattern or map, representing important social senses and relations. Thematizing the proximity between embodied cognition and religious media ecologies can bring together philosophy and sociology, while addressing a range of prominent thinkers in an original way.

Item type:Publication, Challenging human creativity: an exercise of co-creation with generative artificial intelligenceThis paper explores the collaborative potential between humans and generative artificial intelligence in creative contexts through a co-creation framework. The study uses ChatGPT to develop narrative elements such as slogans, taglines, and claims for university marketing programs, comparing human-generated and artificial intelligence-generated content to evaluate effectiveness and engagement. Results indicate that while artificial intelligence can contribute useful and creative content, human participants still prefer human-generated narratives in many instances. The study also highlights how generative artificial intelligence can enhance creative processes by accelerating ideation and reducing cognitive load, but it raises concerns regarding the originality and diversity of artificial intelligence-generated content. This research provides insights into the integration of artificial intelligence in collaborative creative work and suggests best practices for leveraging artificial intelligence tools in marketing and communication strategies.

Item type:Publication, The Embodied Genetic Phenomenology of Dynamic Identities. On the Assemblages between Radiology and SurrealismThere are number of reasons why it might be problematic to compare surrealism and radiology and this article will address some of them. However, this does not mean that the embodied cognitive patterns that are involved in making and interpreting surreal images cannot be productively correlated with the specifics of radiology imaging. Thus, this article does not focus on diagnostic or aesthetic processes and goals but rather thematizes the experiences of embodied cognition, affect, self-apprehension, and embodied (perceptual) imagination which make the former possible. We show how a phenomenological-enactive perspective helps in understanding the constitution of and participation in shared meanings via affordances structured by the specific ecologies of radiology and surrealist media. Hence, philosophical anthropology based on visual embodied cognition discloses structures that are not static but rather genetic in the process of the apprehension of such images. In the article we use the arguments (especially those regarding embodied cognition) of both classical phenomenologists (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, PatoÄka) and more critically minded ones who in one way or another extend or transform phenomenological ideas (Deleuze, Lacan, Gallagher). While the article aims to enrich philosophical discussions about the experience of images and the cognition involved, it also addresses the specific media of both radiology and surrealism and some assemblage-like relations between the two. For this reason, philosophical arguments are illustrated through the analysis of actual radiograms and surrealist paintings. Ā© The authors Ā© IMAGO.

Item type:Publication, Imaginative communication and community: the phenomenological-enactive approach to the co-constitution of public phenomena(2021-12-05); An ever-evolving phenomenological-enactive perspective can expand our reflection on the entanglement between enactive subjects and their living ecologies. This article applies certain classical phenomenological projects and their enactive extension to public phenomena (objects, spaces, events, etc.). As an instance of the embodied cognition discourse, this research also aims to thematize the enactive, affective, and intersubjective aspects of the relation to the (urban) Lebenswelt. This may help in understanding both the potential of the phenomenological-enactive methodology and the processes of an embodied intersubjective co-constitution of a public ethos. Theoretical ideas presented in the article are illustrated with reflections on some concrete public phenomena.24 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Conceptual problems with disembodied cognition in learning environment(s) and the alternative of embodied creativityThe article is motivated by todayās practical realities and theoretical transformations that have affected education on a major scale. The shift from in-person to online classrooms at the beginning of the pandemic brought forward a series of issues related to embodied conditioning for creative strategies in the learning process. After presenting the shortcomings of the disembodied approach to education, we emphasize the role of the embodied (somatic, motoric, affective) aspects of education and discuss the embodied skills of creativity in a variety of learning environments. While so called embodied creativity became a fast-developing field due to mostly quantitative experiments in teaching-learning environments, it still lacks some conceptual clarification, especially in relation to its genesis in the paradigm of embodied cognition. Hence the main goal of this conceptual article is to extend, through the method of theory adaptation, the existing body of research on embodied cognition in academic environments to show how the embodied teaching and learning paradigm presents embodied creativity methods as an alternative to the disembodied approach to education and how technological environments provide an opportunity for such purposes.

Item type:Publication, Las imĆ”genes sobre la guerra como herramientas para la empatĆa: perspectivas desde la cogniciĆ³n encarnadaEn un entorno mediĆ”tico saturado de imĆ”genes y marcado por conflictos armados que producen desplazamientos masivos de poblaciĆ³n, resulta fundamental examinar el papel que desempeƱan las imĆ”genes de guerra en la configuraciĆ³n de la empatĆa. Desde la perspectiva de la cogniciĆ³n encarnada y mediante un anĆ”lisis fenomenolĆ³gico, este artĆculo sostiene que dichas imĆ”genes no operan Ćŗnicamente como representaciones informativas, sino como herramientas que afectan al cuerpo vivido del espectador y activan esquemas perceptivos, afectivos y prĆ”cticos profundamente sedimentados. El texto articula tres niveles de anĆ”lisis: una fenomenologĆa de la imagen, un breve recorrido por la fenomenologĆa de la empatĆa y un examen de las interacciones sociales en contextos de crisis extrema. A partir de este marco, se argumenta que la empatĆa mediada por imĆ”genes se funda en la vulnerabilidad corporal compartida y en procesos de sincronizaciĆ³n intersubjetiva previos a la inferencia racional. Esta reflexiĆ³n teĆ³rica se complementa con experiencias directas de interacciĆ³n y acogida de personas refugiadas y desplazadas por la guerra, que permiten observar cĆ³mo, ante la ruptura de los guiones sociales habituales, emergen prĆ”cticas de cuidado basadas en interacciones encarnadas y rituales cotidianos.
