Neue Publikation: Themenheft «Bodies and Minds in Education»

This special issue explores various body-mind conceptualisations and configurations within different educational contexts. The different contributions focus on concrete manifestations of mind-body entanglements, identifying the fluctuating conceptualisations that have made it possible for a series of mind-body configurations to emerge and exploring how the bodies and minds in these specific cases relate to each other and are (re-)scaped and (re-)shaped over time. The contributions also show how these ‘body-mind-scapes’ have interacted with other spheres of influence (e.g., the economic, social, political, medical and scientific spheres) and how this has resulted in specific cultural and educational discourses and practices.
