Corporeity: formative words and meanings

Abstract

Corporeity is the qualification, always in fieri, of a human body that lives and speaks. The nexus between corporeity and formative processes lies in the circularity and reciprocity of possible bodily expressions and sympathies, which therefore are not indifferent to the words that describe us. The relational quality of the formative relationships therefore continually implies the struggle that corporeity carries out to gain access to the right to be meaningful and therefore to speak, which becomes a personal and/or community narrative. Fighting hostility towards corporeity means fighting against contempt for their finiteness and recognising that it is also thanks to them that the dynamics of human imagination is released.
