Abstract
This article examines the idea of Jean-Luc Nancy about the body, in particular his thesis that we do not have a body, as well as about the subject as a body turned inside out, as an external and infinite influence. The purpose of the article is to consider the ontological and epistemological status of the body, medical practices related to experiences and limitations in the process of transplantation. Nancy “shows” that in the course of bodily metamorphoses, not only new forms of subjectivity are formed, but also “new flesh” is found. Thus, at the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, it becomes possible to think of a fragmented body as what Deleuze and Guattari called “the body without organs”.
