(2016) Embodied philosophy in dance, Dordrecht, Springer.
The chapter deals with the hermeneutic act of understanding expressive gestures. Focusing on the case study of bodily movements that are performed in Bellus, Katan suggests that dance forms in dances of the Batsheva Dance Company invite the spectator to realize feelings and intentionality of dancers as meaningful forms of expression. The chapter deals with embodied dimensions of understanding, and offers a requested viewpoint on the relationship between culturally embedded meanings in bodily movements and the physical origins of comprehending them.
