Body and meaning
An interdisciplinary approach to the semantics of the Human Body
Synopsis
What is the purpose of having a body? How should we interpret the bodily datum? And further still, is it possible to speak of a grammar of the sexed body?
From a psychological perspective, which is the source of our understanding of sexed corporeity, the authors has asked themselves: How do body and identity relate to each other? What are the consequences of manipulating or defying the limitations of the body? These levels ultimately emphasize the ethical scope that is present: the dignity of the sexed body.
One clear intention has been guiding this work: to explore new avenues, which will help us understand the beauty and dignity of the human body, drawing specific attention to the foundational part of such an intent.
