The human body, as the medium through which different cultural and moral experiences are lived out, has been the subject of numerous studies which have interpreted the body in different ways, as seen in art, architecture, and music, as well as in literature, philosophy, and theology. Whereas cultural movements and styles used to emphasise organic unity and functionality, the so-called "postmodern" movements and styles stress multivalence, blending together various forms and shapes, highlighting diversity and pluriformity - even if contradictory - through a hybrid of ideas and designs. A transdisciplinary approach between Anthropology and Theology will enable the possibility to explore in detail how the human body is a medium through which identity is experienced also in the field of theological ethics. At a time when technology is increasingly becoming a principal medium through which one makes sense of existence, and as life gradually becomes a surrender to situations conditioned by technology itself, the human body remains the battlefield upon which the tensions between "the noblest deeds or the foulest" (Gaudium et spes 9) are lived out. Furthermore, such a transdisciplinary approach must bring to the fore Pope Francis' call for a Theology that starts from listening to the roots and the present, and that speaks to the hearts of people and to their context. The aim is to propose an ethical anthropology from the Mediterranean by bringing into play "new narratives", as Pope Francis argues with respect to a Theology from the Mediterranean. For a discussion on the 21st century body from different Mediterranean perspectives can further help with the rediscovery of different narratives and theologies which constantly seek to contextualise the message of the Gospel.
