I'm Nick Herriman, author of Entangled State, www.yale.edu/seas/EntangledState.htm. In the "25 Concepts in Anthropology" series, I present what I think are the 25 most important concepts in socio-cultural anthropology. Each concept provides a unique insight into what it is to be human. This episode concerns the concept of "embodiment". Terms and concepts covered include: Phenomenology (implies that we all see objects differently, depending on our experiences and perceptions; you never know things as they are, you never know a thing 'in itself' [noumenon], all you know is what you get from your perception and experience of it [phenomenon]; and this perception is, according to Merleau-Ponty inescapably stuck in our own subjectivity / body); Embodiment (cultural 'muscle memory'); habitus (your taste, accent, style, dress etc. which reflects class, ethnic etc identity).
Cultures covered included: Orthodox Jewish, Azande, Javanese, Vietnamese, Kuranko
