The article attempts to revive the conception of the body in Ludwig Feuerbach and the young Marx. The aim is to show that Feuerbach produced a concept of embodiment which is to be distinguished from its conception in psychoanalysis and in political thought (the body as the object of bio-power) which prevail in contemporary post-Marxist theory. The difference between these two conceptions can be expressed thus: the Feuerbachian and young-Marxian understanding corresponds to the concept sarx (the natural body), while its conception in post-Marxist thought corresponds to the concept sóma (the body symbolised). Post-Marxist authors generally assume the correctness of Althusser’s rejection of this conception. It is for this reason that I examine Althusser’s critique of Feuerbach’s philosophy in its relation to the question of embodiment and I attempt to show that Althusser’s theory cannot comprehend Feuerbach’s most important discovery. In the final part I deal with Feuerbach as the first thinker of non-identity (Adorno’s term) and I look at his reflections on death as the hidden background of his living and real body. The conclusion is that Feuerbach introduces a conception of embodiment which cannot be completely incorporated into cultural and bio-political practices.

The aim of the article is to present and analyse the phenomenon described by the author as ‘somatic narcissism’. It is a category that refers to self-tracking, i.e. techniques and strategies of self-parameterisation which aim to control, optimise and extend bodily and self-cognitive functions. As a form of self-expression and self-presentation, they are a new manifestation of narcissistic inclinations closely related to biopolitical mechanisms. The category of ‘somatic narcissism’ has been derived from the concept of Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetics and Nikolas Rose’s ethopolitics, revealing a reservoir of biopolitical normative tendencies that are aimed at the (self-)formation of the individual. Theoretical findings are discussed along with an analysis of artistic projects that illustrate the two poles of the described tendencies. The first one includes productions by Laurie Frick and Jacek Smolicki, which in an enthusiastic manner show new self-presentation options based on self-tracking and identity formation processes. The second is represented by Zach Blas whose work offers a critical assessment of the use of biometric tools for the purposes of self-creation. Juxtaposing them, the article shows different artistic approaches to the phenomenon of ‘somatic narcissism’.
