Abstract

In contemporary perceptions of the body, it is difficult to distinguish what is biological from what is psychological. We « listen » to our bodies to detect signals, messages conveying illness or malaise, so that we can make them disappear through dance, yoga, exercise… Today, it seems it is the body – and no longer the soul – which is the true seat of our identity.
