Embodying Women's Stories for Community Awareness and Social Action
Nieves, Yolanda
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n134 p33-42 Sum 2012
This article highlights four concepts related to embodied knowledge for community awareness: (1) possibilities; (2) risk; (3) collective engagement; and (4) performance. It examines the author's narrative study investigation manifested in a performance text as a case study on how women embodied repressed knowledge and released it through performance. The author offers her perspective that provisional or rational knowing that is stored in the intellect is complemented by the knowledge that is permanently stored in the body--if individuals allow themselves to be attuned to it.
