Concept information
Preferred term
body (sociology)
Definition(s)
- It has become relatively commonplace in sociological work on “the body” to think in terms of both being and having. We are our bodies, or rather we are embodied (being) but at the same time we experience “our bodies” as external appendages that we possess (having), as when we talk about “my body,” “her body,” “my nose,” and so on.
