HUMAN MOVEMENTS IN THE EXPERIENCE OF COMPREHENSION OF THE WORLD
Man finds himself in the world not as pure mind or consciousness, but as embodied being. This embodiment is not a simple natural fact, man is not the product of his or her own body, on the contrary, people in history always have bodies as their own objects and representations. French anthropologist M. Moss believed that for construction unified concept of human being we must base on different sciences – sociology, psychology and physiology. In this article concept “techniques of the body” analyses through the theory of motions developed classic psychophysiology N. A. Bernstein. It is hypothesized that different types of movements can be generalized by notion “gesture”. Gesture – is a movement that is able to experiment with space and time, it is the way by which a person can transcend his own boundaries. In a gesture of material and intentional sides fused together. Gesture suggests The Another Man. The human body takes on the role of media. Understanding of environment can carried out through the body and senses, not only through logic and language.
Keywords: techniques of the body, M. Mouss, schemes of movements, N. A. Bernstein, symbolical coordination, gesture, media, image.
