We investigate the supposed lack of definition of embodiment and bodily practices that appears in Brazilian published studies. That indeterminacy opens to closer inspection whether both terms are intertwined through studies available on Capes Periódicos website laying out their peculiar features. Once these studies have been peer-reviewed and accepted, we manage a search of the keywords: “embodiment” AND “bodily practices” OR “body actions”, reaching 28 articles. The terms are viewed in the manner of Csordas (2008) and Lazzarotti et al., (2010)/González and Fensterseifer (2014). Both notions are in line with a clustering of lived-through meanings far beyond the mere and constrained biological view of the human body. Finally, the national research needs a deeper clarification about these notions, which seem to be subject to variations in different cultural contexts.
