Linguistic Bodies: The Continuity between Life and Language
Ezequiel Di Paolo, Elena Cuffari, and Hanne De Jaegher
MITPress 2018
A novel theoretical framework for an embodied, non-representational approach to language that extends and deepens enactive theory, bridging the gap between sensorimotor skills and language.
A fully embodied and fully social treatment of human language

Denken over liefde
Hanne De Jaegher
Letterwerk 2018
“a polished and scientifically rigorous plea for rekindling our systemic sensibilities. The ‘enactive’ lens allows the whole thing to flow with life juices, with light, and gives it the rich texture of our existence as feeling, observing, reflecting, interacting, loving human beings” (Review by P Vandenbroeck)

Towards an Embodied Science of Intersubjectivity
Ezequiel Di Paolo and Hanne De Jaegher (Eds.)
Frontiers Media 2017
What would a truly embodied science of intersubjectivity look like?
The articles in this collection combine ideas and methods from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, phenomenology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, social science, and language studies to move beyond traditional cognitivist perspectives, and to investigate the dynamics of actual interactive encounters between people.
