Il focus group e gli stereotipi sulla costruzione sociale del corpo

Taking moves from research conducted in the Veneto and Tuscany, associated with other turns in Friuli Venezia Giulia and in Rome, the volume explores the topic of cultural pluralism, placing it within the polarization identity and Alterity-reserving a particular attention to the role of the image. The body markings, such as tattoos, and through the body, as the veil, are paradigmatic examples that pave the way to theoretical reflections on the meaning of body transformations and its image in contemporary. Air conditioning and individual subjectivity are the poles between which moves the interpretation, that apparently linear, becomes more complex in front of the presence of the other-politically correct speech and within immigrant, the presence of etnocentrismi and neotradizionalismi. The transformations of the body, on the other hand, they build new images, shall lay down some furniture along with their meanings; but you wonder though as well as body-image you can talk about body-without-image.
