with international participation:

This Un-real Body


First edition, November 4th -5th 2010, Timisoara, Romania
The human body: how could we actually reach the heart of the representation? That is in fact the question
of the meeting we propose. In the Romanian anthropology, the discourses on the human body, its
aesthetic categories and the dialogue between its symbols and those of the nature, superstitions and the
health concept have been rarely covered in an interdisciplinary approach, biological- mythology-critical,
subsequently entered into the universal circuit. We rely on a polyphonic discourse – literature, arts,
medicine, and society – the meaning of which may reveal:

1. Metaphors of the body

2. Body pains

3. Body (r) evolution, meta-body

The seminar will take place on November 4th – 5th, 2010, at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy
“Victor Babes” Timisoara, Modern Languages and Romanian Discipline.
