Resumo: This essay aims at characterizing and discussing a route pursued by the body in the western society, from the building of the concept of the body-property to the postmodernist dilemmas which provided a gateway to a new corporeality. In modernity, the body was submitted to science and to the political and economic means of production and, under specific conditions, conducted to a utilitarian biologizing description. Postmodernity has brought an identity crisis and the subsequent hyperconsumerism, and has watched this social model lay its bioascetic guidelines on the body, redescribing it. The need to extend the time/space of body consumerism indistinctly approaches the scientific breakthroughs: drugs, bionic prostheses, plastic surgeries, wearable computers, genetic modifications. The desire to void the biological coercions, functional and aesthetic improvements of the body and even immortality give rise to a new description: the futurible body.

En la Modernidad el cuerpo hubiera sido sometido a la ciencia y a los medios de producción político-económicos y conducido a una descripción biologizante y utilitaria bajo condiciones específicas. La Posmodernidad ha traído la crisis identitaria y, consecuentemente, el hiperconsumismo, asistiendo ese modelo social depositar sus directrices bio-ascéticas sobre el cuerpo y redescribiéndolo una vez más. La necesidad de extender el tiempo/espacio de consumo del cuerpo se acerca indistintamente de los avances científicos: fármaco, prótesis biónicas, cirugía estética, ordenadores de vestir, modificaciones genéticas. Los deseos de anulación de las coerciones biológicas, de mejorías funcionales y estéticas del cuerpo y hasta de la inmortalidad dan lugar a una nueva descripción: el cuerpo futurible.Este ensaio tem como objetivo caracterizar e discutir um caminho percorrido pelo corpo na sociedade ocidental, da construção do conceito de corpo-propriedade até os dilemas pós-modernos que abriram as portas para uma nova corporeidade. Na Modernidade, o corpo fora submetido à ciência e aos meios de produção político-econômicos e, sob específicas condições, conduzido a uma descrição biologizante e utilitária. A Pós-Modernidade trouxe a crise identitária e o consequente hiperconsumismo, e assistiu esse modelo social depositar sobre o corpo suas diretrizes bioascéticas, redescrevendo-o. A necessidade de estender o tempo/espaço de consumo do corpo aproximou-se dos avanços tecnocientíficos: fármacos, próteses biônicas, cirurgias plásticas, computadores de vestir, modificações genéticas. Os desejos de anulação das coerções biológicas, de melhorias estéticas e performáticas do corpo e até mesmo a imortalidade dão origem a uma nova descrição: o corpo-futurível.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2018-04-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/motrivivencia/article/view/2175-8042.2018v30n53p18110.5007/2175-8042.2018v30n53p181Motrivivência; v. 30 n. 53 (2018); 181-1952175-80420103-4111reponame:Motrivivência (Florianópolis)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/motrivivencia/article/view/2175-8042.2018v30n53p181/36359Copyright (c) 2018 Motrivivênciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, André GonçalvesNovaes, Renato Cavalcantide Assis, Monique RibeiroTelles, Silvio de Cássio Costa2018-04-19T17:15:16Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/46678Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/motrivivenciaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/motrivivencia/oai||giovani.pires@ufsc.br2175-80420103-4111opendoar:2018-04-19T17:15:16Motrivivência (Florianópolis) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
