Abstract

In this paper, we propose to make a first layout of a correspondence area between body and materiality, which leads us to rethink this materiality from certain conceptual categories. The hypothesis is related to the existence of certain body conceptions from the 1900 thinking onwards, which involves a non-reducible materiality to determination principles, a materiality related to freedom, where the need is subsumed to a specific contingency of the bodies. We intend to outline a conceptual construction of materiality that can articulate different thoughts that include the body in a relevant way, especially those of Jean-Luc Nancy.
