本文的目的是探索科学家的身体在与他们在野外观察的动物互动时积极参与的不同方式。身体是多种多样的，涉及它们的实践也是如此：分享相同的饮食，感受相似的情感，行为相同，居住在同一个感知世界，构建移情亲和力，等等。有些人愿意“从内部”感同身受地体验情况，而另一些人则“撤销和重做”自己的身体，以便与动物更密切地互动，并更谨慎地回应它们。还有一些人面临这样的问题：当我们和动物在一起时，我们能做什么或者我们被允许做什么？所有这些实践都提出了一个非常不同版本的“具身移情”，这个概念描述了感觉/看到/思考的身体，这些身体相互撤销和重做，虽然不对称，但作为部分视角，它们相互协调。因此，移情不是用自己的身体体验别人的体验，而是创造一种具身交流的可能性。
The aim of this paper is to explore the different manners in which scientists’ bodies are actively engaged when interacting with the animals they observe in the field. Bodies are multiple, as are the practices that involve them: sharing the same diet, feeling similar affects, acting the same, inhabiting the same world of perceptions, constructing empathic affinities, etc. Some scientists aim to embody the animals’ experiences. Some are willing to empathetically experience situations ‘from inside’, while others ‘undo and redo’ their own bodies in order to interact more closely with the animals and to respond to them more cautiously. Still others are faced with the question: what can we do or what are we allowed to do with our bodies when we are with our animals? All of these practices present a very different version of ‘embodied empathy’, a concept which describes feeling/seeing/thinking bodies that undo and redo each other, reciprocally though not symmetrically, as partial perspectives that attune themselves to each other. Therefore, empathy is not experiencing with one’s own body what the other experiences, but rather creating the possibilities of an embodied communication.
