A humanistic project of widening interpretation to include all dimensions of social practice or, better, experience — the cognitive and intellectual, physical, aesthetic and the affective. Embodiment is a project of rooting social experience in all the senses of the body.

This of course severely explodes narrative and other traditional modes of representation. If in fact embodiment is the experience of the world through all the senses of the body, then narrative strategies privileging one sense over the other, or emphasizing certain aspects over others, prove to be unequal to the task of embodied representation.
