We do not always inhabit the body as presence. Often, we treat it as a showcase, a project, a surface to be corrected or sold. This work investigates, with philosophical precision, how the body has been transformed into a product — a product of desire, of markets, of surveillance, of performance.

The writing does not seek to comfort or offer solutions. It confronts the reader with the challenge of seeing the body beyond the narratives of health, beauty, or productivity. With a Socratic tone and elegantly incisive language, the text explores the many ways in which the body ceased to be a dwelling and became a system to be managed.

But this is not a denunciation — it is an act of lucidity. Rather than longing for a return to the past or idealizing a lost purity, the book offers a quiet confrontation: what kind of existence remains possible in a body that no longer belongs to itself?
