Abstract

In this paper, I analyze the phenomenon of child cultural body modification (CCBM). I describe the practice, discuss philosophical, sociological, and anthropological arguments about the parental motivations, and evaluate an influential justification based on the children's putative cultural benefit of undergoing CCBM. I propose an alternative view of bodily integrity based on the value of body agency, the ability of individuals to generate meaning in their world through conscious, voluntary, and purpose-driven usage of their own bodies.

儿童、文化和身体修饰。
本文对儿童文化体修正现象进行了分析。我描述了实践,讨论了关于父母动机的哲学、社会学和人类学的争论,并基于儿童接受CCBM的假定文化利益评估了一个有影响力的理由。我提出了另一种关于身体完整性的观点,这种观点基于身体能动性的价值,即个人通过有意识、自愿和有目的地使用自己的身体,在他们的世界中创造意义的能力。
