The knowing body as a floating body
通过自民族志研究，提出“漂浮身体”概念，认为认知身体在清醒和睡眠两种状态中通过感官释放、体内感知和梦境感官纠缠三种流动方式参与组织实践，揭示了身体认知的不确定性和不稳定性，对管理教育有启示。
This article enriches practice-based studies on bodily knowing by conceptualizing the knowing body as a floating body. This concept accords epistemic value to two forms of bodily existence – waking and sleeping – that are considered to be intertwined and floating. Based on an auto-ethnographic study conducted in Finnish academia, we propose three different sensorial flows that the knowing body engages in when participating in organizational practices: sensory release, within-corporeality and sensory entanglement in dreams. These forms highlight the inconstant and uncertain nature of embodied knowing, suggesting a novel onto-epistemological stance in which the knowing body is thought of as a floating body that is never still. The study also has implications for management education.
