TORRAS FRANCES, Meri. El cuerpo ausente: Representaciones corporales en la frontera de una presencia ausente. Estud. - Cent. Estud. Av., Univ. Nac. Córdoba [online]. 2012, n.27, pp.107-118. ISSN 1852-1568.

This article reflects on the confusion that is created betweeen the body and the soul. Its purpose is to ponder on those approaches that base themselves on the scientific and artistic territories, and that fundament their proposals in that the flesh, that is, the material and the visible, reveals the invisible, that is the spirit and the soul. I intend to establish and to mark the path of these schemes that go from Modernity to Post-Modernity, parting from physiognomy and ending with the cyborg.
