Spanish term
los cuerpos se producen en el hacer
Non-PRO
Spanish to English
Social Sciences
Philosophy
The full sentence is: "Creo que los cuerpos son performativos: se inventan, se crean, se producen en el hacer, en la performance cotidiana de nuestras vidas."
It's from a text about piercings, bodies and pain.
Specifically, "en el hacer" is what's giving me trouble. I only have "in praxis" so far, and it doesn't sound natural to me at all.
If it helps, my target audience is Australians in the body piercing industry.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Bodies reinvent themselves, acquire meaning in the maiking
In the twenty-first century, the body is experienced less as a fixed entity than it is as a protean product and a project of technological, medical and artistic invention. The essays in Bodies in the Making: Transgressions and Transformations address the proliferation of such transformative practices as tattooing, piercing, self-cutting, cosmetic and transsexual surgery, prosthetics, organ transplants and life extension technologies.
Establishing links among these varied practices, the contributors illuminate the dramatic and widespread changes that have taken place across generations in attitudes towards the relation of the body to the mind, to agency and to subjectivity.
Bodies in the Making also addresses a paradox that has shaped recent body modification debates. Although physical transformations are usually experienced as self-expressive and libratory, they are frequently understood to be socially determined, economically driven and culturally enmeshed. Contributors to the volume engage this contradiction directly, exploring ways in which diverse body practices are capable of subverting power while also at times re-inscribing it.

: It is the nation of DO rather than MAKE here, surely (confirmed by the reference to performance). Plus, "in the making" means "in the process of becoming'
