Summary/Abstract: The article draws on the relationship between the body and corporeality in the contemporary epoch of postindustrial capitalism and the new media. The traditional notions of body and corporeality are “extended” and assume some metaphorical implications. The author analyses two concepts of thinkers of the contemporary French philosophy – that of the body without organs of G. Deleuze and F. Guattari and that of the body without image of J. Baudrillard. The body is treated as a special body of society or politics and as the place of the processes of the latest capitalism immediately concerned with the modern virtual technologies. Both the body without organs and the body without image become a new model of subjectivity and contemporary life style, which is necessary for philosophical researches and interpretations.
