In her paper The Body as Object: The Phenomenology of the Corporeal and the Fashion System, which opens the Body section, Ekaterina Vasilieva looks at the body as a phenomenological concept. Examining the interaction of body and fashion, she focuses on two main aspects, the phenomenolog y of the body as flesh, and definition of the body through its dynamic and static functions. The dichotomy of the tactile and the conceptual stems from the opposition of body and soul. What defines the quality of the body as flesh, and what makes it a living component in the system of fashion? The interaction of body and dress can allow for dynamic development, or, on the contrary, form a purely static construction. In this paper, the author examines the main stages in the formation of the phenomenolog y of the corporeal, as well as possibilities for the use of these concepts within the fashion system.
