From the field of French phenomenology and feminist and gender studies, the absence of the body in the fundamental ontology in Being and Time developed by Heidegger has been criticized. On this matter, the present contribution does not stop to analyze these critiques but rather undertakes the task of tracking those places and passages contained in Being and Time that could illuminate a Heideggerian conception of the body. Furthermore, these passages point out the possible relationships that can be traced with the Zollikon Seminars, in which Heidegger pronounces his own approach about the body, in order to analyze its possible scopes and limitations.
