International Medical Humanities Review / Revista Internacional de Humanidades Médicas 2023-03-10 2023-03-10 11 1 10.37467/revmedica.v11.4588 Reversibility and style in Merleau-Ponty’s theory https://journals.eagora.org/revMEDICA/article/view/4546 <p>I will analyze the fundamentals that make possible the discovery, interaction and interweaving with other subjectivities. I consider that in this circuit of reversibility in which the others are a constitutive part of ourselves, the perception of the motor style is what gives rise to intersubjective exchanges, being this kinesthetic and intercorporeal primary pairing the origin of joint action and, thus, of any community bond. From the description that Merleau-Ponty makes of this dynamic of involvement of my body with the environment, the surrounding world is a constitutive part of that exchange, determining specific ways of doing and moving together.</p> Jesica Estefanía Buffone Copyright (c) 2023 MEDICA REVIEW.

In its dual active and passive dimensions, the notion of <em>habit</em> enables to understand the living body as a body proper and, at the same time, as an appropriated body. The habit is the fundamental biopolitical dispositive by which the living body is appropriated and subjected to the Body Politic and its logic, made explicit in Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of <em>habitus</em>.</p> Martin Grassi Copyright (c) 2023 MEDICA REVIEW.
