Abstract

Somatic practices frequently use imagery, typically via verbal instructions, to scaffold sensorimotor organization and experience, a phenomenon we term “introjection”. We argue that introjection is an imagery practice in which sensorimotor and conceptual aspects are co-orchestrated, suggesting the necessity of crosstalk between somatics, phenomenology, psychology, embodied-enactive cognition, and linguistic research on embodied simulation. We presently focus on the scarcely addressed details of the process necessary to enact instructions of a literal or metaphoric nature through the body. Based on vignettes from dance, Feldenkrais, and Taichi practice, we describe introjection as a complex form of processual sense-making, in which context-interpretive, mental, attentional and physical sub-processes recursively braid. Our analysis focuses on how mental and body-related processes progressively align, inform and augment each other. This dialectic requires emphasis on the active body, which implies that uni-directional models (concept body) are inadequate and should be replaced by interactionist alternatives (concept  body). Furthermore, we emphasize that both the source image itself and the body are specifically conceptualized for the context through constructive operations, and both evolve through their interplay. At this level introjection employs representational operations that are embedded in enactive dynamics of a fully situated person.

"引入 "意象:身心共同作用的过程模型
躯体学实践经常使用意象,通常是通过语言指令,为感觉运动组织和体验提供支架,我们称这种现象为 "导入"。我们认为,"导入 "是一种意象实践,其中感觉运动和概念两方面共同协调,这表明躯体学、现象学、心理学、具身主动认知和语言学对具身模拟的研究有必要相互交叉。目前,我们的研究重点是通过肢体执行文字或隐喻性质的指令所需的过程细节,而这些细节很少有人涉及。根据舞蹈、费登奎斯(Feldenkrais)和太极拳练习中的一些小故事,我们将 "导入 "描述为一种复杂的感知过程,在这一过程中,上下文解释、心理、注意力和身体等子过程递归交织。我们的分析重点是心理和身体相关过程如何逐步协调、相互启发和相互增强。这种辩证关系要求强调活跃的身体,这意味着单向模式(概念⇒身体)是不充分的,应由互动模式(概念⇔身体)取而代之。此外,我们还强调,源图像本身和身体都是通过建构性操作为语境专门概念化的,两者都在相互作用中不断发展。在这个层面上,导入采用的表征操作嵌入了一个完全置身其中的人的能动动态中。

期刊介绍: Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
