L'Encyclopédie du Corps "Somaticiens", par sa nature transdisciplinaire, aborde le grand public et les diverses communautés académiques, scientifiques, professionnelles afin de transmettre des connaissances produites par des gens qui se sont investis dans la libération du corps et la compréhension de la culture corporelle, avec la possibilité d'ouvrir d'autres voies imaginatives à l'ensemble de toutes ces informations. Ainsi, les entrées de chaque texte sont fabriquées à partir des, noms de ces pionniers et pionnières du corps et de leurs connaissances, compétences, valeurs et possibilités. Ce Projet est lié à la coopération entre le laboratoire de recherche Estesia et le laboratoire TEC (Techniques et Enjeux du Corps - EA 3625), établie respectivement à l'Université Fédérale du Rio Grande do Norte (Natal, Brésil) et l'Université Paris Descartes (France).

Apresentar a edição em português do livro Corpo, cultura e educação, publicado no Brasil pela editora Cultura Acadêmica, de São Paulo (UNESP), é quase um sonho. Um autor escreve com a esperança de que será lido por outros, pelos leitores que demonstram interesse pelos mesmos temas. Neste caso, trata-se de uma temática que, quando o livro foi publicado, originalmente, na Espanha pela primeira vez, em 2006, estava praticamente começando a se desenvolver e, de forma muito especial, no campo da educação - falo dos Estudos Corporais. Ao pensar no que aconteceu, algo curioso ocorreu em relação à língua para a qual o livro foi agora traduzido e ao país em que está sendo publicado. Comecei a trabalhar nesta linha de investigação sobre Estudos Corporais no ano de 2000. Naquele mesmo ano, realizei uma viagem por distintas cidades do Brasil e aproveitei para coletar informações - livros, artigos, teses de doutorado, revistas - que tratavam da temática dos Estudos Corporais no Brasil.

Pt. 1. Social order, body order -- pt. 2. Modes of embodiment -- pt. 3. Class bodies. The past decades have witnessed a surge of sociological interest in the body. From the focal point of aesthetic investment, political regulation and moral anxiety, to a means of redefining traditional conceptions of agency and identity, the body has been cast in a wide variety of sociological roles. However, there is one topic that proves conspicuously absent from this burgeoning literature on the body, namely its role in the everyday (re)production of class-boundaries.Distinctions in the Flesh aims to fill that void by showing that the way individuals perceive, use and manage their bodies is fundamentally intertwined with their social position and trajectory. Drawing on a wide array of survey-data – from food-preferences to sporting-practices and from weight-concern to tastes in clothing – this book shows how bodies not only function as key markers of class-differences, but also help to naturalize and legitimize such differences. Along the way, it scrutinizes popular notions like the ‘obesity epidemic’, questions the role of ‘the media’ in shaping the way people judge their bodies and sheds doubt on sociological narratives that cast the body as a malleable object that is increasingly open to individual control and reflexive management.This book will be of interest to scholars of class, lifestyle and identity, but also to social epidemiologists, health professionals and anyone interested in the way that social inequalities become, quite literally, inscribed in the body.

The intersection of religion, ritual, emotion, globalization, migration, sexuality, gender, race, and class, is especially insightful for researching Pentecostal notions of the body. Pentecostalism is well known for overt bodily expressions that includes kinesthetic worship with emotive music and sustained acts of prayer. Among Pentecostals there is considerable debate about bodies, the role of the Holy Spirit, possession of evil spirits, deliverance, exorcism, revival, and healing of bodies and emotions. Pentecostalism is identified as a religion on the move and so bodies are transformed in the context of globalization. Pentecostalism is also associated with notions of sexuality, gender, race and class where bodies are often liberated and limited. This volume evaluates these themes associated with contemporary research on the body.
