Le corps décrit, le corps vécu, le corps transformé : regards sur le corps

This article presents various aspects of the problematization of one's experience of one's body, aiming to underscore the complexity of qualifying this experience as a human experience. The affective body subjected to pathology and the interventions on this socialized body will be investigated in preparation for a reflection on the use of therapeutic techniques. This means emphasizing the fundamental requirement of including “doing” within an existence plan so that it can aim for a therapeutic finality. In other words, the ethical questions at play in the technical act (such as transplantation) compel one to think of the clinical intention of the act and not only its surgical perfection, so that it can condition a regeneration of existence.
