Political Economy of the Body

I think the quote means that the body of a person is controlled by its master that they shift it, train it, and force productivity.

I think it means that there are different levels of people who were powerful and dominate. People who are considered lower level were forced into manual labor, abused and pushed because they were not “worthy” enough in European social latter.

The quote about the king was hard to translate, but I think it means that, because the king is the ruler over all that he represents his people. So if his people are forcing slavery or owning people it reflects on him as a person but mostly as a King.
