AB  - The essay on the relationship between theory and practice in the field of animation studies first focuses on the notion of legitimate peripheral participation, then mentions Mike Wayne's critical production, and finally defines animation as a recontextualized discourse. The author advocates an interdisciplinary approach in animation studies, which is symptomatic of the so-called weak classification. He thinks of animation in relation to the theory of mediality and is interested in it as a moving category that must be seen in a dialectical relationship with different contexts, aware of the recontextualization that the phenomenon of animation undergoes in different discourses. The filling of the notion of animation of the body should emerge from the interfaces and differences between different types of use (e.g. in advertising, art, science, etc.). There must be a dialectical dynamic between theory and practice.
