REFLECTING ON ‘RHETORIC(S) OF BODY POLITICS AND RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE’

  • Johannes N. Vorster University of South Africa

Abstract

In conversation with the contributors to this volume, it is indicated what the regulatory body is, and how the regulatory body functions as the social configuration of meaning and as a site of power relations, not only constituting bodies, but also as the context in which these constituted bodies re-constitute and reproduce themselves. Several rhetorical strategies, such as the operation of the hierarchic principle, the division between “insiders” and “outsiders,” and the notion of dissociation in the re-definition of cultural practices have come to light.
