Society, body and subjective relationship

Abstract

The contributions of Discourse Analysis towards the methodological challenges for reading practices within a historical and social dimension are investigated. In fact, social practices are also a result of imaginary constructions. The relationship between history and language should be taken into account so that the place of practices could be considered in a discursive dimension. In other words, language and its permanent functioning should be expressed by opacity and by the political stance within the incompleteness and evasive character of language. An analysis will be provided in which plasticity, as a result of the fluidity that circulates in the cyberspace, produces the illusion of freedom and consequently a greater movement of the subjects in their discourse. A form of the subjective relationship with the body in current society will be given and how this relationship is dealt with by the trend in making a spectacle of the body. In this sense, the language of the body is foregrounded on ideology, by a play of forces, producing the unfolding of an image-discourse, constituting memories and silencing certain practices.
