Fred Glaver references this article (20 page PDF), which addresses 4E (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive) approaches to the analysis of art and aesthetic experience. 4E cognition, for short. But not the sort of cognition we normally think of (where everything is encoded into sentences and propositions). "If we consider cultural practices and embodied sensory-motor processes, not as higher and lower, but as more fundamentally integrated to begin with, we can shift to a framework where these processes are not modular or distinct, but instead influence and permeate one another."
