RESUMO

In the contemporary world, the body has been approached from different perspectives, ranging from the reduction ofthe corporal totality, to the perception that the body concept is complex and systemic. Speech on the body seems to show the concern with seeing the body in a way to overcome a reductionist vision of it. Thus, one can identify in the speech on the body, a component that takes the understanding of the body beyond the limits imposed by the mechanicism, by the institutions and by the law of cause and effect. This component allows us to understand that reducing the distance between matter and spirit is approaching the Body as a Whole. The body gets the possibility of creating, of dreaming, of getting linked with the Eternal and the Infinite. The Body and the Sacred are not, thus, distant. Departing from these reflections, we used the referencial of the Analysis of Speeeh theory to identify the links between the speeeh on the body and the meaning of the seareh for the saered. As a eonclusion, this paper proposes that, for the understanding of the Body as a Whole, it is necessary to overeome the reduction of the body to matter, aeeepting that the opening to the transeendent ean send, too, to a retum to the saered
