Abstract
The present article gives a description and explanation of dialogical meaning of body in the dialogical approach by Mikhail Bakhtin, triggered by the dialogical perspective of the work by Prokopiou, Cline, and de Abreu (2012). Our image of the self is roughly joined with the meaning of our body and its parts. Visibility of the body and its regulation through cultural means may be explained though the dialogical relation, where the presence of the “other” makes possible to perceive the self and the body entirely. The special accent is made on the meaning of the border in human life, and especially in terms of body and its modifications. Stressing attention on the colour of skin or upon any other visible feature that human being has (e.g. religious attributes, specific behaviour patterns, etc.) does not make for a closer, but rather separates and dissolves, dialogical relation into several monologues which makes impossible any kind productive of interrelation.
