New Publication on Narrative Embodiment in Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences

Following my post last June regarding my appointment to the editorial board of Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, I am very pleased to announce that our collaborative research has now been officially published in this journal.

The paper is titled "Embodying the narrative self, narrating the embodied self" and was co-authored with Sotaro Shimada and Katsunori Miyahara. You can access the article here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11097-026-10156-0

This work is a significant outcome of our ongoing JST-ANR research project, "Narrative Embodiment." In this paper, we explore the intricate intersections between the lived body and narrative identity, further developing the theoretical framework we have been cultivating within the project.

Building on my initial motivation to contribute to this journal as I joined its editorial committee, this publication represents a meaningful milestone for our team. I would like to express my gratitude to my co-authors and the vibrant research community for the stimulating discussions that shaped this work.
