Embodied Experiences and Civic In/Exclusion in the City
Cities make bodies and bodies make cities. In this session we suggest to
focus on the relationship between embodied experiences, marginalisation
and civic in/exclusion in urban environments. Embodied experiences have
been widely studied in the field of disability studies (for example
Butler & Parr 1999; Imrie 2001) or theorised in relation to urban life
(Sennett 1994; Sibley 1995; Amin & Thrift 2002; Knowles 2003). We would
like to expand this work by focusing on the variety of ways in which
corporeal experience of social in/exclusion in cities is articulated
through the connections between embodiment, subjectivity and spatial and
material practices. We are therefore looking for papers that explore the
multiple and sometimes conflicting territories of the embodied self in
relation to feelings of exclusion from society, thereby adding to a
practical understanding of processes of civic identity which are
entangled in the body, and so, map the 'social consequentiality of the
body's materiality' (Shilling 2007).
