Abstract

Within the recent decades, three major themes of theoretical
discussions in sociology have been introduced and dealt with human
body as a topic of social research and theory. The three themes are as
follows:
a) the increasing significance of the concept of self in modern social
theories,
b) the change in the social structure of identity and its shift from
production to consumption areas, together with development of
ret1ective identities in the context of a culture" of consumption,
c) visualization of symbols of status and identity in metropolitan
culture, and the possibility of manipulating and controlling visual
configuration, in order to give shape to the from of identity, which
basically means controlling and taking care of body as the vehicle of self
and as the most significant medium of identity.
This article presents an empirical study of the hypothesis formulated
about detachment of forms of human identity from structural situations
and their connection with cultural features of a sample of 825 residents
of Tehran, aged 18 years old and over. The research findings
demonstrate that there is a significant relation between various level of
body management and the variables which have obvious cultural
significations, such as sex, age, education, cultural capital, religiosity.
and traditional attitude towards family. However no significant relation
was noticed between body management and structural variables such as
socio-economic position.
