Series Book - The Body in Daily Life
 
In the days when the mind was critical, the fulfillment of food, clothing, and physical desires
had nothing to do with our own identity. But now, the questions of what we eat, how we drink
and wear, and how we play, satisfying our desires has become inseparable from our identity.
The book The Body in Daily Life has been published, which continually asks questions about how
we should consider these tasks.
 
The Body in Daily Life consists of the first chapter "The Image and Flesh of the Body," the second
chapter, "Aging and the Body as a Stranger", and the third chapter, "The Body as a Reappearance
and Symbol.” In Chapter 1, the author approaches and analyzes eroticism based on body-related
discussions about images of excess in modern society. This chapther also analyzes body sensations
in the part entitled, "Analysis of Body Sensations for Eroticism." Part 2 describes how an obsession
with a young and healthy body made our body a colony and explains old age in reality based on
Yeats. Finally, in "The Body of the Other in Racism's Perspective," the author analyzes how racism
is intertwined with the inferior body's discourse. Chapter 3, "The Body as Symbol and Reappearance,
"analyzes the body that appears in Pansori and what it means. “Fashion, The Evolution of a Woman's
Body” describes how clothes and bodies have changed in Korea. In Analyzing the Young Body in
Heat of Youth (1964), the author wrote about what movies convey to us about the body and daily life.
The author talks about the significance of exploring women's bodies in new ways in 'Women Artists
and Body – Growing, Love, Fighting, and Death.'
