As key spaces for the sociability of runners, these training groups are also configured as conveying the main ethical and aesthetic precepts of running. Within a team, members have the possibility of constructing their different criteria of self-identification and going through their own itineraries as runners. In this article, two classic categories of anthropological thought (the Apollonian and Dionysian emotional configurations formulated in the School of Culture and Personality) are the starting point to describe the contrasting characteristics of two runner teams in the Argentinean city of Mar del Plata. En Argentina, la opción por correr como un estilo de vida se canaliza principalmente –aunque no de manera exclusiva– mediante los running teams. Como espacios clave de la sociabilidad de los corredores, estos grupos de entrenamiento se configuran además como transmisores de los principales preceptos éticos y estéticos del running. Allí, sus miembros tienen la posibilidad de construir sus diferentes criterios de autoadscripción identitaria y de transitar sus itinerarios como corredores. En este artículo se retoman dos categorías clásicas del pensamiento antropológico (las configuraciones emocionales apolínea y dionisíaca formuladas en la Escuela de Cultura y Personalidad) para utilizarlas como punto de partida para describir las características contrastantes de dos running teams en la ciudad de Mar del Plata. Na Argentina, a opção por correr como um estilo de vida está orientada principalmente –embora não de forma exclusiva– através dos running teams. Sendo espaços chave de sociabilidade de corredores, esses grupos de treinamento também são configurados como transmissores dos principais preceitos estéticos e éticos do running. Assim, os membros desses grupos têm a possibilidade de construir seus diferentes critérios de auto-adscripção de identidade e percorrer seus próprios itinerários como corredores. Neste artigo se retrabalham duas categorias clássicas do pensamento antropológico (as configurações emocionais apolínea e dionisíaca formuladas pela Escola de Cultura e Personalidade) para usá-las como ponto de partida para descrever as características contrastantes de dois running teams na cidade de Mar del Plata, Província de Buenos Aires. text/html application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/5378 10.34096/cas.i51.5378 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/5378/7191 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/5378/7410 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 51 (2020): Perspectivas antropológicas sobre las formas de ganarse la vida: diálogos entre el Norte y el Sur Global 1850-275X 0327-3776 Lifestyles Identity Sport Moralities Emotions Estilos de vida Identidad Deporte Moralidades Emociones Estilos de vida Identidade Esporte Moralidades Emoções Between the Apollonian and the Dionysian: Ethnography of two Running Teams Entre lo apolíneo y lo dionisíaco: Etnografía de dos running teams Entre o apolíneo e o dionisíaco: Etnografia de dois running teams info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=5378_oai
