Going Under dominant narratives & false norms

Lecture/Workshop with Sarah Barnaby & Satu Palokangas

Sunday 21. November, 9:30-11 at Labor Gras, Berlin

Inspired by the Body-Mind Centering® principle of ‘going under’ as well as queer theory, decolonization, and the history of scientific paradigm shifts, this lecture/workshop will turn a critical lens to how the study of anatomy and physiology is incorporated within somatic modalities. Our starting point will be cells: how might appreciating the wild diversity of cellular manifestations disrupt the artificial categories of a body system approach to anatomy and free us from the arbitrary reference point of a standard cell? We want to argue for the relevance and generativity of ‘going under’ in the practice of teaching and learning, which can be an ongoing, radical exercise in questioning and dismantling dominant narratives, allowing alternate stories and new potentials to emerge.
