The book presents and analyzes some of the most important issues
related to the body seen as a rich and complex anthropological and
semiotic object, capable of playing a decisive role in the meaning
making processes of cultural and social life. The analysis
presented in this book opens a whole set of new venues for the
study of body performances and representations, and shows how the
embodiment of social and cultural life shape our world. In all of
its relationships and in itself, our body works in a sort of
corposphere, which is, in turn, part of the semiosphere, defined by
Lotman as a continuum occupied by different types of semiotic
formations. It is from/in/by the body that all semiosis begins and
ends; it is in its presence and absence, in its being and in its
presentation amidst the lived situational life where we might
discover and shape the senses of the world. Many different academic
fields will find in this book deep insights about how the body is
at the center of cultural and social processes.
