Whenever most people think of a body, they think about it with some kind of conflict. Can a body be neutral? Which bodies can be neutral? Which bodies are comfortable with neutrality?
Recently, Body Positive policies have tried to make the body a “friendly place for all”, but is that possible? Can a body not be positive and be OK? Social factors must be kept in mind: oppression of our ethnicity, skin color, weight, disability, gender, sexuality, and class, among others. So what status does a body have in the face of neo-capitalist assimilation of our feelings and existences? Whenever we think about a body, from childhood to old age, we probably have more questions than answers.
This category proposes a group of voices and a range of bodies that are hardly neutral but which together construct a collective gaze to continue asking ourselves questions: What mysteries does a body harbour?
