ECAP 2015 - Embodied Cognition, Acting and Performance Symposium

The four branches of radical cognitive science?embodied, embedded, enactive and ecological?focus on post-cognitivist approaches to understanding the embodied mind-in-society; de-emphasising the computational and representational metaphors; embracing new conceptualisations grounded on the dynamic interactions of "brain, body and world". In this endeavour radical cognitive science reaches out to areas of scholarship also explored in the fields of actor-training and performance studies. This one day symposium aims to facilitate a new inter- and transdisciplinary discourse in which to jointly share and explore common reactions of embodied approaches to the lived mind. Organisers: Mark Bishop (Goldsmiths), Deirdre McLaughlin (RCSSD), Experience Bryon (RCSSD), Marco Gillies (Goldsmiths).
