POSITIONING

Presence

Transformation

Corporality

I plunge into the mystery of the body, to uncover its wisdom, to place it at the service of the emerging, of exchange and of change;
I investigate out of necessity
and as a way of life; I delve into questions and into  pedagogical relationships; 
I affirm that we are presences,
not tasks, nor professions;
I advocate for sensitive and nomadic presences,
and I sense that only from there
we will be able to shatter human stubbornness
and rigidity

We are presences, not tasks or professions. Circle We are presences, not tasks or professions. Circle

Methodology

To accept methodological dialogism. To acknowledge the inseparability of theory and practice. To observe how theoretical reflection leads me to the need of praxis, and how praxis leads me back to theory. Whoever seeks to reduce corporeal praxis to the terms of verbal discourse runs the risk of distorting both.
Bourdieu, 1977

“For every little part of the body, covered up, another photograph. My feet cannot break the promise of stillness. The body has given its word to let itself be wrapped up. The mixture of flour and water is cooling down. It looked like a costume, a mask of half-revealing, of peeking, of half-hiding. Yet I feel colder, I see less, and my body feels heavier. The chill grows stronger, and so does the doubt. New questions arise.”

Results

Theoretical reflection leads me to praxis, and praxis leads me back to theory.

What follows is not a static curriculum vitae; it is the material vector of my research. The fruit of traversing the body, time, and latitudes.

Consequences

What are the implications of having researched what has been researched? How can these findings be disseminated, and what responsibilities do I have, as a researcher and teacher, with regard to these findings?
