Bodies in motion
Bodies are not static. They are in a constant
change. Bodies are flesh, skin, mind (subconscious-unconscious), soul,
emotions, thoughts, concepts, ideas, desires, dreams, uncertainties, doubts.
History is transformed in the bodies. We are who we are because of our past.
We are disconnected neither from the past nor
from the present. Bodies are the channels of our thoughts, bridges of
communication and in crucial times, the bodies are reflecting the edgy
trembling moments of the world around us. It’s very difficult not to become
influenced by the unstable present; the bodies are the mirrors of the society.
Foucault has revolutionized the way in which we understand politics and culture
and the body has to be seen as central to the operations of power and
knowledge.[1]
The bodies are present, with all the reminisces of the past, yet in fluidity
and in action. Nothing can be more powerful than a body within all the sources
of knowledge and experience that has conquered.
