Abstract
This article explores the complex relationship between the body, identity, and territory, focusing on how social and cultural pressures exert control over the body, specifically through the lens of hair and its symbolic power. Using a dialogue format, the authors reflect on their personal experiences with societal expectations regarding appearance and discuss how these seemingly minor decisions are deeply influenced by broader structures of power and control. The body is presented not only as a physical entity but also as a symbolic and cultural space where norms, gender, and power dynamics intersect. The text further analyzes how capitalism and contemporary digital spaces reinforce these mechanisms, while also highlighting the importance of resistance and personal autonomy in constructing identity.
