Abstract
As a pioneer of a new field of research, history of the body, Georges Vigarello goes back over his career as a historian, not so much in search of a hypothetical or ultimate unity of the body, but beyond the original dipersion is rather aiming at relating the existence of coherences and unified logics passing through different fields: the body as an object of thought, of representations and practices. In such a perspective, the history of the body sheds light on a specific era, underlines its culture, while indicating its possible homogeneity.
