- Abstract
The article focuses on the personalisation and corporealisation of motor vehicles in Western Australia. It states that personalisation is achieved through the person's behavior towards the body of the vehicle. It adds that Ngarinyin people believes that a corporealised vehicle acts as an impersonal container of relationships while becoming bodily relativised at the same time.
