This article discuss on body as reality subject. Awareness of body as subject is awareness of existed, placed and different. But as object, body is battle field for many ideologic interests. Those ideologic interests are competing to determine the body. Therefore body emerge as false body, an exhibit for many ideologic interests. Those ideologic interests could enter through sign consumption practice on body. The needs of body for many consumptions is stimulated by many pleasures provided by media. Sign consumption for body and body mediated by media are actually bodies that are imprisoned.Those bodies are watched, arranged, and being disciplined so they can reach the desirable body image condition. Body image that is mediated by media through many sign consumptions can be seen as a symptom of the death of human as subject. This symptom is part of dehumanisation as the result of global media industry. Through media persuasion, the process of the death of the body felt so smooth, relax, entertaining, flattering, and happy. Anyone who caught into the trap will not realise it and will become addicted and in the end he/she will experience decentering of the subject.[Artikel ini mendiskusikan studi tentang tubuh sebagai subjek realitas (khalifah). Kesadaran tubuh menjadi subjek ini adalah kesadaran menjadi ada, berada dan berbeda. Namun sebagai objek, tubuh merupakan ruang pertarungan bagi berbagai kepentingan ideologis. Berbagai kepentingan tersebut saling berlomba mendeterminasi tubuh. Sehingga tubuh yang hadir adalah tubuh palsu sebagai ruang pamer berbagai kepentingan ideologis. Kepentingan ideologis tersebut masuk melalui praktek konsumsi tanda pada tubuh. Kebutuhan tubuh terhadap berbagai konsumsi tersebut dirangsang melalui berbagai kenikmatan yang dijajakan oleh media. Konsumsi tanda bagi tubuh dan tubuh yang termediasi oleh media sesungguhnya adalah tubuh-tubuh yang dipenjara. Tubuh-tubuh tersebut diawasi, diatur dan didisiplinkan agar sampai pada satu kondisi body image yang diinginkan. Body image yang termediasi melalui media lewat berbagai konsumsi tanda dapat dilihat sebagai suatu gejala kematian manusia sebagai subjek. Gejala kematian ini bagian dari dehumanisasi sebagai dampak dari industri media global. Melalui rayuan media, proses kematian tubuh tersebut begitu cair, rileks, menghibur, menyanjung dan menyenangkan. Hingga tanpa terasa bagi siapa saja yang masuk dalam perangkap hasrat tubuh tersebut akan ketagihan hingga akhirnya mengalam decentering of the subject.]

There have been many foreign studies verifying a robust link between body image and a person's subjective well-being. However, unlike their foreign counterparts, Russian researchers have been limiting themselves to covering general questions pertaining to a relation between a person’s well-being and their body image. Thus, the coverage for the body image as a structural component of subjective well-being has been insufficient. The present study appears relevant given the need for a deeper understanding of mechanisms that maintain mental health in adolescent girls and the need for a deeper understanding of factors contributing to the formation of their subjective well-being. In the context of this paper we view the body image as a key component of a person’s well-being. The present study surveyed female students of the Philological Faculty of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN). The sample included 100 (N=100) participants aged from 18 to 22 years, with the average age being 22. We analyzed and compiled the theoretical studies on the subject of subjective well-being (SWB) and body image as well as their correlation, by both foreign and Russian researchers. We also compiled some empirical data on the subject of body image as a component of a person’s well-being. Statistical methods such as the Spearman’s rank-order correlation analysis and factor analysis were employed. The data suggested that the subjective perception of one’s body image had a great influence on various structural components of one’s personality.

The body plays an important role in the book of Job – as do animals. According to psychoanalytical specifically object-relations theory, a subjective body image was partly constructed through the internalisation of external stimuli from significant others who mirrored the subject through their feedback or through their own bodies, which served as an ideal or critique to the subject. Amongst the external stimuli, animals constitute such significant others. Animals could therefore have impacted Job’s subjective body image, particularly as their bodies were described in detail by God as a response to Job’s complaints and searching.Contribution: Two theoretical and interrelated problems were acknowledged although they cannot be satisfactorily solved: the cultural aspect of the body image and the relationship to animals.

Beneath Turkish TV dramas’ global glamor lie workplace accidents, systemic injuries on workers’ bodies, and deaths. In response, workers seek to impose restraints on what can be done to their bodies by resorting to law and evoking ideals of equality as they struggle for workplace safety, healthcare, and dignity. Drawing on ethnographic research across production sets, industry summits, union meetings and more than fifty interviews since 2015, this article documents drama workers’ bodily vulnerabilities, arguing that precarity in this global media industry is a bodily phenomenon legally sanctioned by the state. I dewesternize the notion of precarity in creative industries by foregrounding the materiality of the body and the regulative power of law as centers of exploitation and resistance. Critical scholars of media production could learn from non-Western contexts in identifying how creative workers do not only demand stable incomes but also legal recognition and protection of their bodies.

The article presents a theoretical overview of the problem of alienation of the physical self. Approaches in which the problem is studied from the point of view of psychopatological and normative positions are considered. Highlighted areas of research are: the distortion of body image as a manifestation of disturbances in the system of the subject, work with alienation of the physical Self in the body-oriented practices, the problem of the rejection of the physical appearance by the person. The specifics of understanding of the alienation of the physical Self is provided from the standpoint of disturbance of the body boundaries, isolation of feelings, the formation of dysfunctional schemas of perception, the error of subjective perception of the body and its reflection.

BIVRS, Body Image Virtual Reality Scale, is a prototype of a diagnostic freeware tool designed to assess cognitive and affective components of body image. It consists of a non- immersive 3D graphical interface through which the patient is able to choose between 7 figures which vary in size from underweight to overweight. The software was developed in two architectures, the first (A) running on a single user desktop computer equipped with a standard virtual reality development software, and the second (B) split into a server (B1) accessible via Internet and actually running the same virtual ambient as in (A), and a VRML client (B2) so that anyone can access the application. The importance of a virtual reality based body image scale relies on the possibility to rapidly test one's perceived body image in better and different ways. It also provides an opportunity to easily develop a trans-cultural database on body image data. Furthermore, the possibility of using 3D can improve the effectiveness of the test because it is easier for the subject to perceive the differences between the various proposed silhouettes.

This article explores the diversity of British literary responses to Diaghilev's project, emphasising the way in which the subject matter and methodologies of Diaghilev's modernism were sometimes unexpectedly echoed in expressions of contemporary British writing. These discussions emerge both in writing about Diaghilev's work, and, more discretely, when references to the Russian Ballet find their way into the creative writing of the period, serving to anchor the texts in a particular cultural milieu or to suggest contemporary aesthetic problems in the domain of literary aesthetics developing in the period. Figures from disparate fields, including literature, music and the visual arts, brought to their criticism of the Ballets Russes their individual perspectives on its aesthetics, helping to consolidate the sense of its importance in contributing to the inter-disciplinary flavour of modernism across the arts. In the field of literature, not only did British writers evaluate the Ballets Russes in terms of their own poetics, their relationship to experimentation in the novel and in drama, they developed an increasing sense of the company's place in dance history, its choreographic innovations offering material for wider discussions, opening up the potential for literary modernism's interest in impersonality and in the ‘unsayable’, discussions of the body, primitivism and gender.

Lying in ditches, tromping through mud, wedged in urns, trash bins, buried in earth, bodies in Beckett appear anything but capable of acting meaningfully on their environments. Bodies in Beckett seem, rather, synonymous with abjection, brokenness, and passivity—as if the human were overcome by its materiality: odours, pain, foot sores, decreased mobility. To the extent that Beckett's personae act, they act vaguely (wandering) or engage in quasi-obsessive, repetitive tasks: maniacal rocking, rotating sucking stones and biscuits, uttering words evacuated of sense, ceaseless pacing. Perhaps the most vivid dramatization of bodies compelled to meaningless, repetitive movement is Quad (1981), Beckett's ‘ballet’ for television, in which four bodies in hooded robes repeat their series ad infinitum. By 1981, has all possibility for intentional action in Beckett been foreclosed? Are we doomed, as Hamm puts it, to an eternal repetition of the same? (‘Moments for nothing, now as always, time was never and time is over, reckoning closed and story ended.’)This article proposes an alternative reading of bodily abjection, passivity and compulsivity in Beckett, a reading that implies a version of agency more capacious than voluntarism. Focusing on Quad as an illustrative case, I show how, if we shift our focus from the body's diminished possibilities for movement to the imbrication of Beckett's personae in environments (a mound of earth), things, and objects, a different story emerges: rather than dramatizing the impossibility of action, Beckett's work may sketch plans for a more ecological, post-human version of agency, a more collaborative mode of ‘acting’ that eases the divide between the human, the world of inanimate objects, and the earth.Movements such as new materialism and object-oriented ontology challenge hierarchies among subjects, objects and environments, questioning the rigid distinction between animate and inanimate, and the notion of the Anthropocene emphasizes the influence of human activity on social and geological space. A major theoretical challenge that arises from such discourses (including 20th-century challenges to the idea of an autonomous, willing, subject) is to arrive at an account of agency robust enough to survive if not the ‘death of the subject’ then its imbrication in the material and social environment it acts upon. Beckett's treatment of the human body suggests a version of agency that draws strength from a body's interaction with its environment, such that meaning is formed in the nexus between body and world. Using the example of Quad, I show how representations of the body in Beckett disturb the opposition between compulsivity (when a body is driven to move or speak in the absence of intention) and creative invention. In Quad, serial repetition works to create an interface between body and world that is receptive to meanings outside the control of a human will. Paradoxically, compulsive repetition in Beckett, despite its uncomfortable closeness to addiction, harnesses a loss of individual control that proposes a more versatile and ecologically mindful understanding of human action.
