summary
A culture that cultivates the muscular, fashionably dressed, beautiful body with a good image is little prepared to understand the greatness of a wounded, fragile, naked, trampled, fractured and fallen body. The opening of a wounded body makes it possible to enter into a world of deep relationships beyond equality, contract, utility, duty, paternalism or the mystification of the other. The wounded and torn body, a clear contraposition of the Nietzschean man of steel, is a portico of glory to enter into a relationship of unequaled human height, depth and breadth.
