Bodygraphies: giving the word to the body

Main Article Content

Jordi Planella

The body has irrupted into the field of social sciences: Anatomical knowledge can be constructed beyond the biomedical viewpoint. This article reviews some of the viewpoints of the body offered by the science of the word, or if so desired, from the act of giving the word to the body. For this, we have put into play the epistemology of body in the deformed social sciences (Le Breton and Turner), freak bodies, the body's twists in the queer theory, and the reconstruction of the body in complex societies. All of it with the aim of being able to locate it in Leib dimension (cultural body), and beyond the Körper dimension (anatomic body).
