This study proposes to develop the body question through the different registers of the imaginary, the symbolic and the real to conceive the body, not as a supporting entity for thought and the mind, but as an integral and fundamental part of the subjective position. Thus, we propose the concept of bodysorder ( discorps in French), to underline the dimension of “speaking bodies,” while highlighting the dissonance and discordance phenomena through the body. This study offers some clinical cases to question subjectivity related to body disorders: from the emergence of affect to acts of self-mutilation, the body appears to be the place where the subject tries to find its way.
