Abstract
Without wishing to set out an exhaustive discussion of the subject, we mention that our approach envisages a brief analysis of some of the stances of body "lived" in prehistory, reflected through the visual culture and symbolic communication. The variety of human representations, expression of prehistoric mental forms in which divine feminine archetypes coexist with the male ones, illustrates the role played by the corporeal environment in asserting body-subject as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical reality. Corporeality of anthropomorphic figurines contributed to the integration of the human body into a whole (common corporeality) and was the most effective means of communication of self, artistic representations becoming its substitutes or of a particular archetype that led to a symbolic thinking, specific to those times.
