(The Meaning and Limits of the Body)
The Meaning and Limits of the Body is a compilation of presentations from the seminar series organized by the ILEM Society to analyze the outcomes of debates on the perceived body from different disciplinary perspectives. Edited by Senanur Avcı Tosun and Nuriye Kayar, the work delves into the evolving meaning and boundaries of the body, as seen through the eyes of prominent scholars such as Irvin Cemil Schick, Kadir Canatan, Mustafa Tekin, Murat Çekin, Murat Beyazyüz, Nazife Şişman, Süheyb Öğüt, Teyfur Erdoğdu, who highlight the shift from a divine understanding to a secular "body."
The study explores the transformation of the body into a new and independent field of sociology, presenting glimpses of its journey away from a divine understanding toward a secular "body." The work, released by Nobel Publications ILEM Library in January 2015, calls for contemplation on the changing meaning and limits of the "body," which has moved beyond being just an individual's existence and private realm.
