ABSTRACT

This study proposes the concept of the ‘mediatized body’ triggered by changes in the media environment. To this end, it focuses on the emergence of a constructed, variable subject supported by the ‘relationality’, ‘communitiness’, and ‘mediality’ that have emerged in the era of digital/network-based technology. This reconfigured body generalizes sensory communities at the societal level, renews identity through repetition and memory, and exists as a hybrid reality where the real and virtual overlap in the material realm of technology. Drawing inspiration from such phenomena, this paper analyses theoretical discussions and case studies at the intersection of ‘participation’, ‘reenactment’, and ‘technification’. Among these, it examines the ‘sociocultural’ implications of the body as a site of political-aesthetic subject practices, rather than as a fixed and unchanging object, through the aesthetic forms of performance and choreography in the context of contemporary art.
