Tattooing in the context of “post-human” cultural challenges – an inverted iconic typology
Tattooing in the context of “post-human” cultural challenges – an inverted iconic typology

Summary/Abstract: This study proposes a psycho-spiritual approach on tattooing from a pastoral perspective. The three sub-divisions of reflection are: 1.) The tattooed body is to be understood, discovered and analysed starting from the individual that decodes the general, the assembly; 2.) Pastoral reading of tattooing: a new anthropological freedom ignored ecclesiastically?; 3.) Tattooing in the context of postmodern sychoemotional mutations. The study highlights reality as seen by psychoanthropologist Giacomo Dacquino, as it draws sketches of a psychopastoral reading of an ever-present shiver in the world of youth, which is little analysed. It can easily be set within the post-human trends, as it objectifies the human being through a reductionist approach, getting inspiration from the iconic typology, creative of civilization in the Euro- Atlantic area, but handling it in a vulgar and demolishing manner.
