[LUM#20] Bodies in Motion
Bodies in motion—a fascinating and multifaceted subject of study that we invite you to explore with our researchers in this 20th issue of Lum magazine, published in September 2023.
A body that is sometimes subjected to extreme stress—such as that of cosmonauts, whom scientists help regain their muscle strength after a stay in space, as you’ll discover in our portfolio. A body that can also be weakened by illness or disability and that hopes medicine and science will find solutions, such as digital rehabilitation for patients with respiratory failure or neural electrical stimulation for quadriplegics.
The world of sports takes center stage in the second section of *Lum*: the reclaiming of physical and public space, as advocated by riders; social activism through the challenge of gender stereotypes; and the ethical struggle against breaches of medical confidentiality involving athletes… All of these practices are examined, analyzed, and deconstructed through the lens of sociologists, psychologists, and legal experts.
And what about the body at school, in juvenile detention centers, or even in the metaverse? Our third section invites you to reflect on the role of the body in our institutions and looks ahead to the role it will play in a world where the virtual realm is also gaining ground.
Join the movement by reading this 20th issue of Lum magazine, now available in an augmented version, which gives you access to the podcasts from theUM: *A l’UM * *la science*, and *Lumlu*.
