Kinesthetic experience: understanding movement inside and out

Abstract

This paper focuses phenomenological and empirical attention on kinesthetic experience, describing key experienced aspects of movement: its felt spatial dynamics on the one hand and its perceived three-dimensional form on the other. It proceeds on this basis to consider: (1) the ontogenetic and phylogenetic significance of animate movement and its kinesthetic underpinnings; (2) the fundamental import of recognising animation as the starting point for studies of animate life; and (3) the need to recognise common misconceptions of movement that distract us from the dynamic realities of movement itself. The clinical relevance of the analysis and the concepts it engenders are set forth in the conclusion.
