Knowledge on the body and of the body

Abstract

This is a reflection about the implications brought about by the knowledge established by the discourses on the body and the difference that is established on the part of the body not trapped by the discursive order. – Which, according to Foucault, means not introduced or seized by the institutional order. Knowledge of the body, on the other hand, is proposed as a libertarian gesture. Derived from the distinction implemented, it is concluded that the middle way makes it possible to realize [what] that power imposes and, in the same tone, [to realize] the condition of possibility that the subject acquires. In this sense, it is a vital strategy established as a libertarian power of expression and of pleasure.
