Enaction,

There are many ideas or words difficult to understand, maybe because we don’t have the experience necessary to think about that. But the experience is not an information or representation about the ideas. The experience is a enaction into the world.
For example, the concept of “dialectics” is a very complex concept. Because we can know  what is the dialectic, but the dialectics is a  moving concept,  is a continuous process. To understand the dialectics process we need anchoring the concept in our body or experience and then put it in motion.
In physical exercise there is an exercise called “sticks". In this exercise, the actors are thrown a stick. And this sticks can´t touch the floor, but at the same time we need to demand our fellows more difficulty. But if the sticks touch the floor, the play is over.

In this exercise, we can experience enactively, the opposition, but this opposition we need each other to exist. In this metaphor we can see the dialectic process and maybe we can think other characteristics about the concept… in an enactive process.
