How do we experience a WE? What forms a sense of WE? How do we individually contribute to it? And how fragile is it actually? How fragile does it even have to be so that it won't become destructive?
These questions interest Katja Münker from a body-perception perspective, especially in times in which language is highly charged with we- and not-we-claims.
We are experiencing, exploring and acting in relationships even before we communicate through language. Orientation at this level results from what we perceive with our senses (sensory perception) and from our ability to relate these sensations to one another, to previous experiences and to our movements (perception).
We can assume that we experience the world and therefore also a WE in expansions, smells, noises, pulsations, colors, shapes... before we can name something or predetermine it through labelling.
“The invitation is to join me while I ask: What is the shape of the WE?”
