- **Event Name**: THEME Lecture: "Embodied Knowledge in Rhythm and Motion: The Researcher, Observer, and Participant i
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 03:15 pm
- **Event Description**: This presentation investigates the interwoven roles of researcher, observer, and participant within Dagbon and West African music and dance traditions. Through fieldwork and embodied practice, it explores how active participation—drumming, dancing, and performing—becomes a form of inquiry that generates knowledge beyond textual documentation. Engaging with artists and communities, the researcher moves between analysis and experience, revealing how cultural understanding emerges through motion, rhythm, and shared performance. The paper reflects on the ethical and methodological complexities of occupying multiple roles within the same cultural space and argues that embodied research not only enhances scholarly interpretation but also contributes to the preservation and transmission of living traditions. By merging scholarship and performance, this work underscores the body’s central role as both instrument and archive of cultural knowledge.
