Anthropologists have been concerned with the ways in which cultural values are 'inscribed' on the body. This essay goes beyond the methodologies concerned with the representations of the body, the body as an objectification of power, a physical entity, or an inalienable center of individual consciousness. The paradigm of embodiment leans in the direction of a cultural phenomenology that considers the body as a subject, and as the existential ground of culture and self.
