Over time, since the Greco-Roman philosophical influence on Western Civilization, idealistic currents and materialistic tendencies have permeated reflections on corporeality. These flow into the Contemporary world, where much is said about the overvaluation of the body, a valorization that is, however, extremely dubious, since it is taken for its image. This image, responding to the globalized world of the third millennium, makes the body a product of the market, subject to all sorts of idealisms and manipulations. But after all: Is it I who who inhabits a body? That has a body? Or am I my body? What is the “I”? What is the body? What is the self? Its recognition? Lacan warns us that the body should dazzle us more, after all, it is the condition for both desire and enjoyment. This is the theme of this article.Downloads
