“…So far, we have illustrated each kind of boundary with just one of our three examples dieting, pregnancy, and sports. But of course, We can identify these types of practices across different examples and empirical phenomena: bodily contours are, for example, also drawn in sports, when prosthetics are framed as 'technical devices' (Cornelius 2013) in sports regulations, which draws the contour of the body between the ('organic') body and the prosthetic, while in the perception of the runner, it may circumscribe them. During Mrs. Weisman's pregnancy, the contours of her body not only expand through several clothing sizes; she may also begin to see (and feel) it not only as her body, but as a vessel for another body that forms inside it (Young 1984), hence the perceived contour of her body no longer only runs around its 'outside'.…”

In everyday life, we usually go by the one-body-one-person rule: one person has one body (and vice versa). This social belief builds on two assumptions: bodies are individual units and they (and 'their' person) are the same in different situations. This is also the conceptual resource for social theories that build on the notion of individuals. In this article, we turn it into a sociological topic. We develop a vocabulary for reconstructing bodily one-ness and bodily sameness as practically achieved social order, as body boundary work: what belongs to a body is a matter of local practices that define its situational contours, limits and margins. Practices of identification and personification draw on social memories and enact bodies as trans-situational entities. Persons and bodies, we argue, evolve in co-individuation. Personal corporality, then, can be conceptualized as a body of work that encompasses these practical efforts of boundary-making.
