Abstract
Under the light of disciplines like semiotics, cognitive science, philosophy, sociology and art, the concept of the body in Japan is re-visited here in all its complexity. To accompany the unstable cognitive walk of the body in Japan, Christine Greiner points her sensible and politics lens over some key moments of the Japanese history, from the prehistory to the current moment. After a long and responsable inquiry around the transformations and implications of the body’s concept between east and west, the author reveals the amplitude of the questions concerning the body.
