Abstract

The present article discusses the social inclusion and the exclusion concerning the body conception - here seen as a vehicle of health and disease in distinct moments of time and civilizing development levels. Thus, the 20th century - with its progresses and retreats - is potentially considered as a decisive factor in the bio-psychosocial structure and body organization, which presents itself as fragmentary, depicting the post modernity scenario. Efficiently included or not into the public policy mechanisms aiming at health promotion, such body is represented by its insertion and resonance within an unequal reality where the sick - deemed as lacking knowledge and power - is inscribed.
