If activism is an act of challenging marginalization and hierarchy, The Bodies Collective works to challenge the hierarchy between "mind" and "body" inherent in much academic discourse, and can be witnessed in the conference space. We do this, not through forming another hierarchical structure, but from within—through invitation and inviting those who may be labeled as "participant" to become a leader within each workshop presented. This is the act of activism that The 2019 European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ECQI19) invited. In this article, we discuss how The Bodies Collective's contributions to ECQI can be seen as activism. We describe our contribution, a workshop, and provide examples of feedback from those involved. Finally, we show some of the challenges we have encountered and conclude with looking toward the future.

Abstract
An analysis of what the physical description of bodies tells us about the hypocritical characters of government officials, bawds, drunkards and dishonest gurus in Sanskrit satirical works. This paper presents selected portrayals of the physical female and male bodies from both satires and comic monologue plays. These satires make fun of hypocritical people in power, while the plays comment on life in the red light district. Bodies in these works are seen as mirrors and metaphors of the personalities and types who inhabit them, revealed both through their shape and their body language.

Comments are presented on various aspects of the private & public body in the society of the 1980s. In All Teeth 'n' Smiles, Jeanette Winterson examines the duplicities of the body politic, & foresees the final victory of the Greens in implementing social changes to save the environment. In Hulks on Parade, Janet Abrams comments on the increased visibility of male bodies as art objects in mass media, but finds the model types unresponsive to women's preferences. In The Body Bereft, Jeffrey Weeks summarizes the impact of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) on social perceptions of sexuality, & the moral & religious reactionary measures that were initially proposed to deal with the epidemic. In Work Hard and Keep Pumping, Rosalind Coward evaluates changes in the perception of female body images to today's masochistic yet almost moral pursuit of healthy, fit, & sexy bodies. In Haute Coiffure de Gel, Elizabeth Wilson reviews modern trends in style, design, & fashion as affected by sociopolitical influences. 12 Photographs. M. Malas

Foreign Bodies analyzes how our culture elaborates for us the bodies we have by natural evolution. Calling on the new means contemporary thinkers have used to understand the body, Alphonso Lingis explores forms of power, pleasure and pain, and libidinal identity. The book contrasts the findings of theory with the practice of the body as formulated in quite different kinds of language--the language of plastic art (the artwork body builders make of themselves), biography, anthropology and literature. Lingis explains how we experience our own powers of perception, our postures, attitudes, gesture
