(2016) Embodied philosophy in dance, Dordrecht, Springer.
Katan suggests that Gaga is a somatic practice for perceptual inquires. In "Habitus, Embodied Knowledge, and Physical Intelligence," Katan advances the consideration of physical practices as platforms for intelligent performance. The chapter draws attention to the social knowledge that is embodied in physical practices. Discussing philosophical and social theories, the chapter explores the physicality of "habitus," where accordingly, cultural wisdom is comprehended by individuals. The chapter concludes with the case study of Gaga, analyzing the dance practice as an intelligible research, wherein dancers question, inquire and reform their bodily knowledge.
