No. 10 (2012): Periplos around the body

The human body, one of the central themes of physical anthropology, is discussed in this number coordinated by Erika Almady Sanchez. We titled "Periplos around the body" to the set of six trials in which the multiple meanings of the term is approached from different perspectives. Some studies are more concerned with conceptions of illness or discussion of the notion of the body as an analytical category to rescue qualitative data; also abound reflections on the socially constructed body, your emotions and even the body as equity.
