Returning the body to the mind: Educating the living body

Abstract

The article aims to contribute to the debate on corporeity education, focusing on the question of subjectivity, understood as mind-body unity, as developed by phenomenology and embodied approaches. This allows to rethink the educational settings in which the living body is embraced. Within a cross-curriculum design, particularly in primary school, it offers an overview of possible devices in which corporeity is pivotal. Through conceptual frameworks such as those of space and time, the article underlines the innovative contribution of OE and outdoor education, suggesting possible directions for teacher training.
