520 _aThe social body in capitalist modernity is a political body (Hobbes, Spinoza, Rousseau). Power, whatever its nature, is based on the production and reproduction of a symbolic or imaginary incorporation of a bodily order with which the members of the political body (corporations, organised bodies, fraternities, trades, congregations, affinity groups, secret societies, sects, etc.) identify. Power is equally embodied under the figure of a leader (president, monarch, tyrant, despot, “supreme guide,” “Great Helmsman,” Conducator, “great leader”) as a “ bodily representative of the state” (Marx). Many social or political bodies are popularly regarded as mystical bodies, that is, as collective bodies that are assumed to partake of a supra historical, or even supra natural, transcendent reality in the image of the Catholic church, the mystical body of Christ, or of the two bodies of the King analysed by Kantorowicz.
