Abstract
This paper deals with the methodological development of research work in the domain of body studies. Since the 1980s there has been a significant change in study approach to the phenomenon of the body in several scholarly disciplines, but it is even more important that since then, this topic has been approached from the standpoint of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. As a result, body studies have emerged as a new transdisciplinary field of study. This paper aims to point out the key social changes that have contributed to a greater interest in body studies, which led to the development of an encompassing transdisciplinary methodological approach to body issues.
