Tarihsel ve kültürel etkiler/ ortam insan bedenini ve bedenin sahip olması gereken nitelikleri tanımlar ve normlaştırır. Yaşanılan döneme özgü ideal güzellik ölçütleri belirlenir ve kitle iletişim araçları aracılığıyla topluma sunulur. Kitle iletişim araçlarının aşılamaya çalıştığı kültür ve yaşam tarzı toplumda bedene indirgenmiş bir kadın ve erkek tipolojisi yaratmıştır. Kitle iletişim araçlarının tümü gibi dergiler de bireyleri beden güzelliği uğruna tüketime yönlendirmektedir. Özellikle postmodernizm ile kendine dönük yaşam tarzına yönelen bireyler toplumda vitrin görevi gören bedenlerini bir ileti haline büründürme yolunu seçmişlerdir. Günümüz toplumunda özellikle ortak cinsiyet modası ile başlayan akım ile birlikte erkek ve kadın cinsleri birbirine yakınlaşamaya ve özellikle iki cins arasındaki geleneksel kalıplar ortadan kaybolmaya başlamıştır. Hibritleşme, sadece giyim de değil aynı zamanda bedenin şeklinde, sağlıkta, beslenmede, kozmetikte de kendini göstermiştir. Çalışma bu varsayımdan yola çıkarak 2013 yılında yayınlanmış kadın ve erkek dergilerini ele alacaktır. İki farklı yayın grubuna ait, tirajı yüksek olan kadın dergilerinden Vogue ve Cosmopolitan, erkek dergilerinden ise Esquire ve GQ dergileri seçilmiş, dergilerin aynı dönemde yayınlanan 1’er adet sayısında yer alan iletiler içerik çözümleme yöntemiyle irdelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, genellikle cinslerin görünüm açısından ayrımı ve farklılığına dayanan yerleşmiş bakış açısından ayrıldığı için farklı bir nitelik ve önem taşımaktadır.

3D Printing is currently at the forefront of medical advances in the areas of bone replacement and prostheses. The technology has progressed toward soft-tissue prosthetics in maxillofacial rehabilitation, making it possible for patients to receive for example, a new nose, ear, eye or lips. Beyond the necessity for soft-tissue prostheses, this paper will speculate on their potential uptake for the purposes of aesthetic augmentation. That is, I will consider the material and metaphorical implications of this technology as a replacement for conventional cosmetic surgeries, where patients no longer commit to one ‘look’ or ‘style’, but can embody a range of features in a fashioning of the flesh. In doing so, I contend that we may move ever closer to a posthuman realisation, while simultaneously revealing the very human qualities of vulnerability and a desire to belong.

There are many sorts of body modification had been found in hunting-gathering societies, most of them are transmitted as a religion or ritual ceremony. On the other hand, the Baka, one of Pygmy hunter-gatherer groups, are doing body modification without force, religion and authority, they are only for fashion. Some of Pygmy hunter-gatherers used to use some special plants of forest to decorate their body or their cloths. But these sort of body decoration are not found in recent Baka society. This paper will provide the information of recent body modification of the Baka, and focuses on the Baka’s childhood and adolescence, discuss the transmission of the body decoration culture and their cognition of the body in anthropological view.

The skin can be described as a niche structured by semiotic artefacts (tattoos) that work as symbolic–indexical devices (dicisigns). New biocompatible technologies responsive to organic and environmental variations change the role of the skin as a semiotic niche. New devices are transforming the skin into a niche of interactive interfaces. In this article we introduce a variety of techno-scientific artefacts, which are readily available, and their main characteristics. We are interested in the recent proliferation of devices based on biotechnologies that can be coupled to the body, especially epithelial (superficial or invasive), and how they change what we know as ‘embodied communication’.

RESUMEN
El movimiento “Queer” es post-homosexual y post-gay. Ya no se define con respecto a la noción médica de homosexualidad, pero tampoco se conforma con la reducción de la identidad gay a un estilo de vida asequible dentro de la sociedad de consumo neoliberal. Se trata por tanto de un movimiento post-identitario: “queer” no es una identidad más en la idiosincrasia multicultural, sino una posición de crítica atenta a los procesos de exclusión y de marginalización que genera toda ficción identitaria. El movimiento “queer” es un movimiento de disidentes de género y sexuales que resisten frente a las normas que impone la sociedad heterosexual dominante, atento también a los procesos de normalización y de exclusión internos a la cultura.

Oggi la società dello spettacolo ha ridato nuova centralità al corpo e alla sua bellezza. Ciò trova riscontro non solo nei modelli imposti dagli schermi televisivi, ma anche dalla maggiore attenzione che le donne prestano al proprio corpo, ricorrendo sempre più spesso alla chirurgia estetica. Questo intervento, a partire dalle teorie del filosofo americano Richard Shusterman, fondatore della somaestetica, vuole indagare la centralità del corpo nella riflessione estetica contemporanea, prendendo spunto da una famosa artista francese della seconda metà del Novecento: Madame Orlan. Questa artista, che ha operato nell’ambito della Body Art, ha sottoposto a dura critica il modello occidentale di bellezza e, aprendosi a una pluralità di esperienze e culture, ha affermato la relatività del bello. Inoltre sottoponendosi a diversi interventi di chirurgia estetica, ha rivendicato la possibilità di "ricostruirsi" per far riflettere sui cambiamenti che la tecnologia moderna ci può far assumere.
