The concept of body in Pierre Bourdieu’s terminology, constitutes the foundation on which obedience and dominance relations occur in both a habitus and symbolic capital a social class sense. Especially in cases where male dominance is constructed through linguistic practices, the characteristics of this foundation correspond to a genderized body’s discourse. Bourdieu defines obedience as “the somatization of social relations of dominance,” and for him, the parts of the body that are subject to public or private life define the active or passive forms of self-presentation. While passive forms of selfpresentation correspond to obedience, its active forms correspond to the “doing” subject, directly to the concepts of phallus and logos. Furthermore, the differences imposed by the linguistic codes of the obedience-dominance link in Bourdieu are the founding elements of the socio-political quality of the body. This study examines the different dimensions of Bourdieu’s concept of body and the social sexist discourses that act as mediators in the establishment of obedience-dominance relations between genders.
