«L'avènement du corps» is the philosophical essay by Hervé Juvin, published by Gallimard in paperback (272 pages, in French).
In 2005 life expectancy in France exceeded 80 years (46 in 1900) and one in three French women born since 2000 will live past one hundred. Hervé Juvin argues that the body, liberated by medicine and wealth and idealized by beauty and seduction, reshapes power, transmission and money.
Published on October 20, 2005, it is part of the Le débat collection from Gallimard.
For readers of philosophy and sociology interested in the place of the body and in the social transformations of the contemporary world.
