Particular attention is given to body image and eating disorders as strategies of self-control and adaptation, to male dominance over the female body, and to the excesssive examples of medicine and the health industry. The extreme forms of bodily control seen in elite sports, as well as the exploitation of labor, illustrate how the body is treated as a primary site of performance, while transhumanism opens a new dimen sion in the technological conquest of the body. The role of civilization and consumer society is also central in sustaining control over the body.
