Material type: 
BookPublisher: Seminar Description: 764, Apr, 2023: p.40-44.Subject(s): Philosophy, Body, Ontology, Bodying, Embodiment, Identity, Contemporary Theory, Phenomenology, Social Construction
In:
SeminarSummary: This article explores the philosophical shift from the static notion of the body to the dynamic process of bodying. Rather than treating the body as a fixed entity, the study emphasizes embodiment as an ongoing practice shaped by social, cultural, and phenomenological forces. The concept of bodying situates the body as relational and performative, continuously constituted through interactions, representations, and lived experiences. Drawing on contemporary theory, the paper interrogates how identity, subjectivity, and social meaning emerge through bodily practices rather than being inscribed upon a pre-given form. Published in Seminar Journal, the article underscores the importance of rethinking the body as a site of becoming, where ontology and social construction intersect. This heterodox approach challenges orthodox understandings of corporeality, opening new avenues for philosophical inquiry into embodiment and human existence.
