I bow and hand Sensei her arrows. All but one that I can't find, though I combed the long grass with my fingers. One arrow gone. Perhaps underground you hold it in your hand against the broken dawn. You are the wandering arrow, the bow unstrung. Your sudden absence has startled the partridges from the plums. --from Haiku of the Lost Arrow

Quels rapports entre des hommes et des femmes qui chantent dans une chorale, les tableaux de Ferdinand Hodler et d'Auguste Baud-Bovy, des personnes qui font l'expérience d'une grave maladie ou encore des ouvriers confrontés à la discipline du travail ? C'est le corps et la manière dont il est utilisé, fabriqué, entretenu, montré, réparé et mobilisé. Cet ouvrage collectif propose une série d'éclairages propres à tracer les contours d'un faire corps - soit la manière dont les individus et la société tentent d'intervenir sur le corps - dans des situations et des contextes variés. Sont mis en lumière le rôle joué par les pensionnats dans l'adoption des pratiques sportives, des femmes migrantes engagées dans des activités de soin auprès de personnes âgées, des personnages de romans d'Alice Rivaz, des footballeurs de la Nati, des pratiquantes de pole dance, l'intérêt porté par les médecins aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles à la notion de Heimweh, le témoignage d'une himalayiste ou encore des stratégies de conservation corporelle développées par un homme ordinaire au cours d'une vie sportive. Des correspondances entre des temps, des lieux et des gens sont proposées à travers quatorze contributions issues de l'histoire de l'éducation, de l'art et du sport, de l'anthropologie médicale, de la sociologie, de la littérature, de la géographie ou encore à partir de la restitution autobiographique. Tous les articles qui constituent ce volume ont pour ancrage la Suisse sur une période qui court de la fin du XVIIe siècle à aujourd'hui.

The book is mainly of interest to researchers in the field of the human microbiome. A lot of new useful knowledge can also be learned from this book by doctors who use scientific achievements for diagnosis and treatment, as well as postgraduate students who participate in research projects on the role of microbiota in pathophysiological processes. This book reflects current data on both methods of studying the microbiota and methods of its correction. Special attention is paid to the role of the microbiota in diseases such as stroke, cancer, autism, allergies, psoriasis, colitis, liver diseases, etc.; the mechanisms of interaction of the microbiota with drugs and natural products are considered. The scientific editors were happy to work on this book and hope that it will be useful to readers.

The investigation into the living being and sensation conducted by Aristotle in De Anima and his biological works highlight many theoretical correspondences with Merleau-Ponty's notion of perception and the ontology of the sensible emerging from the Phenomenology of Perception and the Courses on Nature. In Aristotle and in Merleau-Ponty epistemological rehabilitation of the sensitive experience leads, at the ontological level, to the theorization of a new idea of living subject and Nature: the biological synol in Aristotle and the notion of Leib in the terms of chiasm in Merleau-Ponty. Furthermore, the Aristotelian notion of synol shows strong similarities with Merleau-Ponty's conception of living body (Leib). On one hand, the speculative results obtained by Aristotle in his biological research (where it emerges that most of the vital functions are realized through a total co-penetration of soul and body), and on the other the theory of the synol that he drew up in De Anima (according to which living substance is an indissoluble unity of matter and form), show many points of contact with the idea of embodiment that traverses the whole of Merleau-Ponty's work starting from the Phenomenology of Perception.
