Corpos híbridos: a construção do corpo humano na modernidade a partir da arte e da tecnologia

Abstract

This paper focus on the study of cultural aspects of the human body. The hybrid body is analysed as a result of the mixing of both biological and technological dimensions. Through a historical approach which points out some moments when the human body interacts implicitly or explicitly with technological creations, the hybrid body is put in evidence with the analyses of some artistic creations which include the human body as a way of interacting with new technologies.
