Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis article-essay establishes theoretical links between Hartmut Rosa's theory of resonance and flow theory, then presents a case study of Flowart, a physical activity, to illustrate how resonance manifests across multiple dimensions. The authors argue that empirical data from Flowart practice provides rich and novel insights into the experience of resonance, bridging conceptual gaps between the two theories.

Abstract
This article-essay will first establish theoretical links with some of the foundations of Rosa’s work, and then present a case study of a physical activity that demonstrates the manifestation of resonance across several dimensions. We start from elements of theoretical concordance with flow theory to discuss the scope and contributions of Rosa’s theory of resonance, and then illustrate these remarks with empirical data on flowart practice, which we think provides knowledge that is both rich and novel in relation to the experience of resonance. Keywords: Flowart, theory of resonance, physical activity
