Contemporary ways of understanding human movements, specifically movement learning, are heavily dominated by individualistic, dualistic and mechanistic perspectives. These perspectives are individualistic in the sense that in research as well as in educational practice movements/movers are typically decontextualized, they are dualistic in the sense that the body is taken to be \u2018inhabited\u2019, even \u2018governed,\u2019 by a rational mind which is not itself a part of that body; and they are mechanistic in the sense that movements and movement learning can be \u2018calculated\u2019. \nThis approach has supported the dominance of a westernised and predominantly white, masculinised and heteronormative view of able bodies, embodiment and movements. Hence, it has contributed to marginalise not only other approaches\n\nLearning Movements\nNew Perspectives of Movement Education\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail ;
