description In the Berber and Kabyle tradition in particular, the lexicon remains allusive when it comes to giving precise definitions of the body. Paradoxically, this terminological shortage is at the root of the production of a plethora of very important terms that, while designating the body and its various constituent parts, furnishes a broad range of expressions, metaphors and metonymies highly infused with meanings, allusions and symbols. These forms of designation are very useful for anthropology, because they provide information on the different states of the subject (the organs are hierarchised, structured, gendered, etc.), on the relationship between the body and the social world (bodies are dead/living, old/young, strong/weak), and between the body and the emotions that permeate it in reality and symbolically. This array of terms also sheds light on the representation that the body takes on (according to which it is whole or in “fragments”), which goes beyond stricto sensu linguistic definitions, since it is part of a worldview, a philosophy that is very specific to a cultural region where this aspect remains little studied.
