If everything else fails, you've still got your body, of course, there at your disposal to use and misuse it in every possible way: drug it; feed it; cut it; arouse it; wash it; starve it; shape it; paint it; pierce it; neglect it; whatever you feel like. If you think about it, maybe this is why most of occidental-patriarchal philosophy and politics could so easily forget about the body (and particularly: their bodies). I am reminded (as usually) of Foucault, who said: The body is not the soul's prison (as Christian religion would have it); it is the soul (or the mind) that has imprisoned the body.
