Publisher's Synopsis
This essay brings together different writings around a specific search, one that addresses the plots that are interwoven when undertaking a research project in the philosophical field. In my case, it begins when I feel challenged by a specific theme: the body as a relational knot of meaning-producing practices. Therefore, in this framework I am confronted with questions to be unravelled from certain western theoretical frameworks. Those that focus on the mechanisms in which the different legitimated practices of power are involved in any treatment referring to the sexed materiality of corporeality. Subsequently, I focus on the philosophical underpinning of Eastern worldviews that allow me to retrace those imposed disciplinary avatars. Where the body has been trapped in a certain spatio-temporal relationship to give rise to new experiences around it; thus promoting expressiveness, self-perception and self-knowledge by encouraging ways of perceiving, appreciating and respecting both one's own body and that of the Other.
