Revolving door
Two people step through a revolving door in Chicago. One in dark blue, the other in light.
Before they move, each already feels the turn. The door extracts their feeling going in and out..

A short description explains that the talk introduces a doctoral project on stammering, arguing that dominant cognitive and mechanistic models face conceptual difficulties and misplace the explanation of speech production. It also critiques representational approaches for assuming content without explaining its grounding (the “Hard Problem of Content”), and proposes a shift toward a radical enactive account of speech.
The slide is divided into three numbered sections, each in a colored box. 1. The first section asks: “What does ‘loss of control’ have to do with ‘lack of integration’?” It raises questions about whether these are identical, causally related, or merely correlated, and if correlated, what explains the relationship. 2. The second section asks: “How does neurobiological integration (or its lack) explain normativity?” It notes that neural processes themselves are not normatively assessable, yet stammering is experienced as failure, and asks where this sense of normativity comes from. 3. The third section asks: “What exactly do we mean by ‘loss of control’ and ‘lack of integration’?” It questions the nature of integration, whether it is neurobiological, how to interpret the experience of loss of control, and whether it reflects lived reality, a symptom requiring interpretation, or different types of control such as executive or sensorimotor.
Today I attended another wonderful webinar organised by ENPA: "Rethinking Fluency and Disfluency: From Representational Models to Radical Enactivism" by Jonathan Brooks (Oxford). A rich conversation on #enactivism & its potential for analysing #neurodiversity beyond mainstream neurocognitive models

Event poster for a lecture titled “On Loving the World: Revisiting the Scientific Image with Arendt and Haraway” by Ann-Sophie Barwich at Boston University, hosted by the Center for Philosophy and History of Science and the Department of Anthropology.
Attended a talk by Ann-Sophie Barwich @smellosopher.bsky.social on science, embodiment, amor mundi (Arendt).
It raised an interesting question for me: how does love for the world relate to analyses of embodied consciousness in institutional contexts?

📣 Next IAS Seminar | Fri, 20 Feb 2026,
🎙️ Marius Werz (IAS Research, UPV/EHU) will present his recent publication: “From function to freedom: enactivism between being and becoming” (Phenom Cogn Sci, 2026).

#IASSeminar #Enactivism
This post led me to Malafouris’s work in #enactivism. His material engagement perspective highlights how #embodiedcognition and selfhood are shaped through interaction with objects. This feels especially relevant in migration and intersex contexts, where documents & medications actively shape agency
New paper by Thomas Fuchs, The Experiential Basis of Concepts, is about how concepts “scale up” from embodied experience to abstract thought. Concepts are rooted in bodily action and intersubjective practice.

Delighted to share that my talk Radical Embodiment and Radical Care: An Enactive and Micro-Phenomenological Approach to Lived Experience has been accepted for Power and Care: Enactive Approaches and Critical Social Philosophy (@mindandlifeeu.bsky.social), Barcelona, May 2026

This article argues that #enactivism must move beyond autopoietic autonomy, engage microbiome research, and adopt a more relational, sympoietic ontology if it is to remain biologically and empirically robust.
Fascinating PNAS study on bodily self-perception: how the awareness connects with embodied action, and how embodiment is foundational to selfhood. A biologically grounded account that can enrich my phenomenological & enactive approach. #consci #embodiment #enactivism
I have already applied for a possible presentation, “Radical Care: Enactive Agency and Sense-Making among Migrants with Variations of Sex Characteristics”. I hope it will be accepted and more hope for attending this #conference personally next year 🙏🏼 #enactivism
Listening on the train to an insightful podcast episode @lovephilosophy.substack.com
with Dr. Ezequiel Di Paolo on #enactivism & #socialcognition.
It’s helping me clarify how I engage his work in my dissertation on embodied experiences of migrants with VSCs. #intersex

“What most popular attempts to explain consciousness miss is that no scientific explanations of any kind can be possible without accounting for something that is even more fundamental than the most powerful theories about the physical world: our experience.” #consciousness #enactivism
Levin’s framing of minds as boundary-setting, memory-interpreting, and goal-directed systems deeply reminded me of Francisco Varela’s work on autopoiesis, embodied cognition, and #enactivism

Enactivism says healing is embodied, relational, and shaped by context. Yoga Therapy already knows this. The 5E model helps us bridge science + lived experience. Let’s reframe what “treatment” looks like.

In Shaky Groundlessness (2025), Andrij Wachtel critically argues with #enactivism through a phenomenological lens, discussing such interesting concepts like “the body-as-subject,” “body-as-object,” "the emergence of the phenomenal lived body from the physical living body”

📝🧠 I'm thrilled to announce that my paper, "Intersubjective, systemic, and sensory roots of autistic social difficulties: a critical evaluation of enactivist and phenomenological approaches" is now published and open access!!

Book “action and interaction” by Shaun Gallagher
The more I study #enactivism, this interdisciplinary approach bridging cognitive science and #consciousness studies, the more I learn and am amazed. I never expected it to connect with activism through the concept of enactive consciousness! Shaun Gallagher’s book is a perfect example of this.
Attending this conference on #Enactivism today organized by @piitelakivi.bsky.social and @sannatirkkonen.bsky.social
Would anybody be interested in reading/providing feedback on a paper draft on how human's long period of post-natal dependency makes us social? #enactivism #ecologicalpsychology #developmentalpsychology
Pare che questo volume vedrà l'uscita anche in Italia. Interessante!
