Walks of Life: Mauss on the Human Gymnasium
Body and Society 1 (2):65-81 (1995)
Abstract
This paper discusses Marcel Mauss's paper on body techniques. It argues that Mauss's account of the acquisition of bodily capacities and deportments makes it unnecessary to think of the body as any kind of unity, for example, by opposing it to 'mind' or 'spirit', which have their own techniques.Author's Profile
