The study of body proportions and identity

The body and identity and attention to it is considered independently in recent decades, this work is done in theworks of thinkers such as Mauss, Bourdieu, Giddens, Goffman, etc., especially the works of Foucault, who in hismany works focused on the object. The body is referred to in medicine as well as its discipline in the new age.Anyway, the body is both an expression of identity and a place for fashions and consumption. In the currentresearch, which used the library method to collect information, we were looking for an answer to the question ofhow the body found the center of identity and what is the reason for the importance of the body? Feminists look atthe body from a different perspective. AAbazari and Hamidi point out in their research that the elements of body sociology are classified into fivecategories: politicization of the body (feminists); demographic factors (the issue of old age and body ownership);growth of consumer culture (increasing consumerism); The emergence of new technology (with the growth oftechnology, the boundaries between physical and technological bodies are broken); Moving from modernity totranscendental modernity (the body as an unfinished project). However, in the new culture, the body is considered asource of inspiration as well as a source of pleasure. Denying and ignoring the body in the old tradition and theologyis replaced by the proof and centrality of the body as the source of life.
