Western Christianity has been wary of what concerned man and its animality. Which leads to body "demonization", core of instincts, to many thinkers. Idem for modern western which thinks as inferior to progress and technician reason. At the time when body comes back like emotion and imagination, Frédéric Vincent thought about that subject.
Body enables man to feel, to touch and to act on the space which surrounds him and to transform it in a social and cultural space, and to give a meaning to his existence.
In the initiatory sphere, he is the object of making, ritual poses and gestures. Object of transformation, he is the tool and the work. He becomes a space where "Real" can happen, where mystery of sacred can be lived.
Like the macrocosm, he is a door to the beyond. What do we know about the body? What role does he have in initiatory societies? The author's answer in this 45-minutes conference.
