Identidad intercoporal Merleau-Pontiana

This article aims to demonstrate, from the Merleau-Pontian phenomenology, the link between identity and corporeality, which is configured through an open plot of changing, intercorporeal and gestural meanings. In order to argue this relationship, first, the primacy of the body as identity support is reflected; second, it is analyzed why the body is the expression that allows to enunciate some elements that are instituted and instituting in the identity of a person; third, the reversible character of the bodily memory that escapes the will of the subject in the unfolding of his identity is presented. Finally, a notion of identity is constructed that highlights the role of the original silence through which the constant institution of the body-in-the-world is expressed.
