Our
body is the battleground more
than ever.
In
addition to our biological life cycles, we are experiencing new challenges that
put our lives on a constant threshold - in anthropology the threshold is the space where an
individual does not belong to her/his past anymore and is waiting for a new
social and personal status.
These new
patterns are changing the old layout of individuals, families, communities and
countries (migration, economical and political instability, ageing population, gender
fluidity, etc.)
How does
the complexity of these new patterns impact on our body?
Should we re-define the meaning of
identity and roots and re-set
ourselves?
Is
this disorientating
time
making us more lonely and frail? Is it exciting or exhausting?
Where
is home?
I want to
explore this journey, our ability to adapt and pay tribute to the human spirit.
