Accepted Paper

What does our Body Speak about when it Touches another Body - Human or Not?

Paper short abstract

Could we approach scientific knowledge making through a language that is intrinsic to the body? From my study about physical relationships between the human body and other bodies - human or not - I have identified a common language from where we affect and feel affected equally.

Paper long abstract

Science is making new language codes for things that are not intrinsic to the body. Due to that language that addresses the mind, we are using our bodies in a more limited way. But then, what is the purpose of our physicality?

This paper attempts to discuss if it would be possible for the existence of some evidence from a certain corporal and spatial consciousness of our bodies through their movement that allows us to come closer to a better understanding of how our body affects and is affected equally by its surroundings and all things that are included in it.

From the evidence of a perfect geometric language, my study, the Geography of Thought reaches a conclusion that the body through its movement, has the potential of identifying itself with lines as complex as a straight line or a perfect circumference in order to establish a symbiotic relation to the spatial architecture of its surroundings.

If we could change the approach to acquiring knowledge by using a code or language that acknowledges the space from the body experience of reality, maybe we could reach or share a level of better understanding between bodies - human and not human - as a better understanding of their mutual affectation.
