Scientific De(con)struction and Artistic (Re)construction of the Body

The body exists, simultaneously, both as a thought and a physical object. We live it both as a thought and a physical object. What is able to reflect this peculiar existence of/as the body? Science? No. Philosophy? Maybe. Art? Surely. Politics? Absolutely. The absolute power of the politics encompasses - be it passively or actively - all the body phenomena, ideas, regimes and manipulations. However, it should be stressed that the main poles of today's dynamics of embodiment are represented by the science and the art. Although their dystopian (scientific) and utopian (artistic) autonomy is not in question, these two poles are conditioned by the two magnetic forces: in-between, there is the whole history, culture and philosophy of the body, its temporal and trans-temporal subduing and reaffirmation, its concrete suffers and fluid imaginaries ; above all, there is the (bio)politics of the body. Having in mind previously mentioned general framework and conceptual basis, I will try to emphasize, in the first place, the crucifixion of the body between scientific de(con)struction and artistic (re)construction.
