The body as a medium of memory. Steineck, C. In Parker, J, Crawford, M, & Harris, P., editors, Time and Memory, pages 41–52. Brill, Leiden, 2006.
abstract   bibtex   
[first paragraph] When we attribute human actions and abilities to either the body or the mind, memory seems to fall neatly within the range of the mind. Still, the act of memorizing often has more to do with the body than with the mind, a fact strongly emphasized by, and reflected upon, in East Asian methdologies of cultivation. Furthermore, memories are more often than not evoked by sensual, corporeal experiences. And finally, the case of a brain-dead patient shows how the body serves as a subject aned object of memories in the absence of all intellectual activities.
