- Thank you @mitpress.bsky.social for Perspectives on Consciousness. Bought this yesterday and it’s already clear how important it will be for my PhD, particularly the sections on neurophenomenology, #consciousness and micro-phenomenology method.
- Today I was grateful to share my work-in-progress at the European Network of Psychological Anthropology (WiPS) on micro-phenomenology, embodiment, intersex migration. The feedback was very encouraging. Participants offered suggestions for deepening the critical analysis through neuroanthropology.
- This post led me to Malafouris’s work in #enactivism. His material engagement perspective highlights how #embodiedcognition and selfhood are shaped through interaction with objects. This feels especially relevant in migration and intersex contexts, where documents & medications actively shape agency
- In "People Are STRANGE"—STRANGE being the process of Situated TRANsactional Genesis, by which self-becoming is realized at the intersection of mind and matter—Lambros Malafouris provides a groundbreaking exploration of self-consciousness through material engagement theory: bit.ly/4r8pfA8
