“…The prevalent notion of embodied computing rarely accounts for the pluralities and differences in human embodiments and their subsequent implications for human cognition. Exceptions lie in works on the range of (micro)movements performed by different bodies [16] and the theoretical tie-ins with, e.g., pragmatist philosophies of embodiment [17]. Hence, even though the notion of embodied cognition aims at dissolving the Cartesian mind/body split [126], currently dominant understandings could be expanded and further specified by drawing on more integrated bodymind concepts from Disability Studies (e.g., [20,110]).…”

In the few decades since the first mainframe computers, computing technologies have grown smaller, and more pervasive, moving onto and even inside human bodies. Even as those bodies have received increased attention by scholars, designers, and technologists, the bodily expectations and understandings articulated by these technological artefacts have not been a focus of inquiry in the field. I conducted a feminist content analysis on select papers in the proceeding of the ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) since its inception in 2007. My analysis illustrates how artefacts are implicitly oriented on unmarked bodily norms, while technologies designed for nonnormative bodies treat those as deviant and in need of correction. Subsequently, I derive a range of provocations focused on material bodies in embodied interaction which offer a point of reflection and identify potentials for future work in the field.
