Senso-mobile and generational tactics of diverse city spaces
No full textUrban spaces are mobile spaces, bond up in the movements of people and things through them as well as the promise of future movement and impressions of past movements. These promises and impression draw people through space in particular ways at particular times. Urban spaces are also navigated through the senses – through the use of sensory tactics (de Certeau 1984). This chapter adopts a mobilities and transgenerational approach in looking across time and space at sensory engagements with urban spaces. Drawing from all three cities in the SENSOTRA project, it considers distinctive as well as common sensory tactics across them. Analysing participants’ accounts of their mobilities in urban space through space and time, as interwoven through transgenerational walking together, the chapter opens up discussion of shared senso-mobile tactics as the foundation of urban transformation
Sensory Transformations:Environments, Technologies, Sensobiographies
No full textThis book aims to articulate a special moment in the sensory history of urban Europe as people’s relationship with their environment is increasingly shaped through digital technologies. Based on a large international research project, the book communicates new understandings of people’s sensory relationships with particular emphasis on environments and technologies, offering cutting-edge insights in cultural transformations of the sensory. It also introduces the original methodology of sensobiographic walking and contributes the translocal method of transgenerational ethnographies across three European cities.The book offers radical and impactful food for thought for a large audience of readers. It is a much-needed addition to Sensory Studies literature with its firmly grounded empirically and theoretically perspectives. It provides new understandings of sensory engagements with urban environments as well as transdisciplinary contributions to knowledge. The book is aimed primarily at social and human scientists and students finalizing their MA degrees or working on their doctoral or post-doctoral work. It is equally useful for environmental planners, youth workers, city planners, and architects, among others. <br/
Analysing the SENSOTRA project: Collaborative coding
No full textThis chapter reviews the processes of analysis that took place within the SENSOTRA project. The project, being across three cities in three countries, produced an enormous amount of data, including textual, visual and aural. Although much of this data was analysed by researchers working within ‘their own’ data sets, from the countries in which they are based, a key part of the project was to come together in our approach to the analysis. This chapter explicates this process, from developing coding frames and protocols to undertaking the coding on ATLAS.ti. It demonstrates the need for researchers, especially those working on large interdisciplinary projects, to proceed with care, sensitivity and vigilance
Postpartum Depression: Healing through Archetypes and the Expressive Arts Therapies
Full text linkThis thesis is a literature review investigating treating postpartum depression through the expressive arts therapies and feminine archetypes. The expressive arts therapies explored for treatment are dance, music, art, and drama. Meditation, mindfulness, and writing are also included. The importance of expressive arts therapies in treating postpartum depression is of interest now because of the increasing number of mothers who experience postpartum depression who are looking for alternatives to treatment beyond, or complementing, traditional talk therapy and medication. A search for literature on treating postpartum depression with expressive arts therapies and archetypes was conducted on-line using the Lesley University database. This research provides resources for women who are seeking to overcome postpartum depression in increasingly creative ways. The author will be presenting recommendations for incorporating this creativity in the lives of mothers. Recommendations for incorporating expressive arts therapy interventions for treating postpartum depression will include examples of integrating feminine archetypes for healing

Dance/Movement Therapy as a Potential Supplementary Treatment for Vasovagal Syncope: A Literature Review
Full text linkDance movement therapy has been utilized as an evidenced-based modality in treating numerous medical diagnoses. Despite its established efficacy in diverse medical contexts, little research exists on its application for vasovagal syncope, a condition often intertwined with mental health challenges. Although vasovagal syncope is situated in the body and frequently comorbid with mental health struggles that impact physiological symptoms, treatment options remain solely in the medical model. This literature review seeks to address this lack of research and adequate treatment options by highlighting the body/mind connection and advocating for dance/movement therapy as a potential supplementary treatment for vasovagal syncope. The author used personal experience with this diagnosis as well as Lesley @ll search and Google Scholar to gather research. The research explored is summarized through a description of the diagnosis, the physical and psychological impact, current treatment options, the use of dance/movement therapy with other medical and psychological diagnoses, and polyvagal-informed dance/movement therapy. The therapeutic qualities that emerged from the literature as important to treatment are therapeutic presence, embodied awareness, interoception, resilience, coping, empowerment, self-efficacy, and identity. It was concluded that dance movement therapy has the unique potential to support the body and mind of those struggling with vasovagal syncope supplementary to medical care. However, further research is needed to test this hypothesis
