Body image (BI) and body schema (BS) refer to two different yet closely related systems. Whereas BI can be defined as a system of perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs pertaining to one's own body, BS is a system of sensory-motor capacities that functions without awareness or the necessity of perceptual monitoring. Studies have demonstrated that applying the concepts of BI and BS enables us to conceptualize complex pathological phenomena such as anorexia, schizophrenia, and depersonalization. Likewise, it has further been argued that these concepts play a crucial role in our ability to grasp our bodily experiences in the socio-cultural world according to various factors, such as gender, social class, and ethnicity. Referring to the insights of Frantz Fanon, the author of Black Skin, White Masks , this paper suggests that under certain conditions the BI can take over and reshape the BS (or the BI is assimilated into the BS). Based on an examination of Fanon’s writings, the paper suggests that not only the BI can truly remold the BS but that the gaze of the other can directly influence the BI.

当身体意象接管身体图式时：弗朗茨·法农的案例

身体意象 (BI) 和身体模式 (BS) 是指两个不同但密切相关的系统。BI 可以定义为与自己身体有关的感知、态度和信念系统，而 BS 是一种感觉运动能力系统，它在没有意识或感知监控的必要性的情况下运行。研究表明，应用 BI 和 BS 的概念使我们能够概念化复杂的病理现象，例如厌食症、精神分裂症和人格解体。同样，有人进一步认为，根据性别、社会阶层和种族等各种因素，这些概念在我们掌握社会文化世界中的身体体验的能力方面起着至关重要的作用。参考《黑皮肤，白面具》的作者弗朗茨·法农的见解，本文提出，在一定条件下，BI 可以接管并重塑 BS（或 BI 被同化到 BS）。基于对法农著作的考察，该论文表明，不仅BI 可以真正重塑BS，而且对方的凝视可以直接影响BI。
