Making Knowledge. Explorations of the Indissoluble Relation between Mind,
Body and Environment. Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Special
Issue Book Series
Description:
As a species, we are composed, in part, of innate capacities biological, perceptual, cognitive and motor
that engage us with the world of which we are a part, and thereby enable us to survive, adapt and thrive. By
contrast, arts and virtues are not innate, but realised and reinforced in social and cultural practice. The
contributions to this volume progress our thinking about human knowledge through explorations of the
interdependence of nurture with nature: and more specifically the interdependence of mind, body and
environment. While emphases on the roles played by environment and context in the processes of
knowledge–making vary between the authors, all situate the sentient, practicing body at the core of their
work. Investigations are guided by the eternal questions of How we know? and How we come to know?
The acute observations and ground–breaking theory that arise from the ethnography promote deeper,
better–informed questioning about knowledge, and stimulate interdisciplinary approaches to the study of
human learning, thinking and practice.
