The Arts of the Body as a Celebration of Life and Encounter is a work that brings together the research results of several Latin American, European, and Asian scholars around the body as a scenario of disciplinary tensions that contribute to the epistemological understanding of arts-based research, research-creation, and semiotic-sensitive research. To celebrate life through movement, creation, the possibility of being in spaces trans figured by the presence of living organisms; dance as a creative interstice of new rhythms of life; the passionate corpus as an agent of change, transition, and the construction of sensitive subjectivities that seek other ways of re-existing in the world. It is no longer enough to think about the world. To feel it is an inevitable purpose for the new generations of researchers. Research is done to feel, create, and exist again amid ontological crises that have created cracks in the classical research paradigms. The body deconstructs the place of the object subject and opens the possibility of exploring the sentient in researchers as contemporary agencies of knowledge. This book is part of a collaborative work with the International Association for Semiotic Studies IASS-AIS and the Latin American Federation of Semiotics FELS.
