        Abstract  The body is a social construction that is it is an outcome of social and cultural interplay.  Therefore, human gestures are realities related to society and culture, and not merely biological, naturally born entity imposing itself to the individuals.  Moreover regarding the notion of body there are multitude of elements such as social and cultural considerations to account for.  Perception is also a bodily phenomenon not emanating from the mind since human beings as embodied agents influence our perception of the world.  Therefore, structure of perception is the same as the structure of body and the world acts as a field for our awareness and actions.  From this perspective reading of epic texts which focuses on the human body and has roots in the collective, and national ideals, and cultural reflections gain importance.  The purpose of this article is to examine and analyze bodily actions in Kushnameh whose protagonist is a hideous despotic antihero. The final results are corresponded with the symbological data. Manuscript profile
