Anthropology of Body. The Concept Illustrated on an Example of Eating Disorders

Original language description

The aim of the article is to introduce the concept of anthropology of body. The authors suggest studying the human body at three structural levels, which correspond to the three main types of cultural elements: artefacts, norms and meanings. The authors argue that human body and embodiment is possible to analyse at the three structural levels: modification, disciplination and semiotization processes of human body. The authors apply this concept of anthropology of body on the study of eating disorders, which they understand as a cultural phenomenon. This application of the proposed concept is based on the findings obtained during the authors' own research.
