ABSTRACT
In this chapter we explore models of expert performance, including those proposed by Hubert Dreyfus and those proposed by his critics. After reviewing theoretical debates about the nature of individual self-awareness during expert performance, we examine accounts of individual self-awareness in athletics and dance. We then turn to questions about the role of self-awareness and the awareness of others during joint actions, and in team and collaborative performances. We show that the contrasting positions represented by Dreyfus and his critics, respectively, are both off the mark, and we advocate for an alternative pluralist model that helps refine the analysis of self- and other-awareness in expert performance.
