Accepted Paper:

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

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.
