Make Your Body Your Machine
The body is socially and politically in many fields of tension. How should a female declared body move and present itself?
It should be: productive, reproductive, beautiful, seductive, strong, independent, fragrant, smooth, maternal, soft, gentle, airbrushed. But maybe it is: confused, irritated, clumsy, silly, gangly, too tall, not feminine enough, stressed. In this field of action I move as a performer between the states. The norms and requirements also clash with my queer appearance, which is given by my above-average body size.
I assume that an explicitly dualistic view of body and mind renders the conditioning of the body visible. I am interested in the tension between the social conditioning of the body and the body's own embodied knowledge. My hypothesis is: if one thinks of the body as a temporary address for the living person, the contingency of all bodily norms of movement and constructs of action becomes visible.
