| Sumario: | This text studies fitness as a modern cultural practice. Analyzing those characteristic discourses, the main idea is to think the particular significance that in those institutions are developed about an ideal of beauty or health, about training methods that responds to training “schools” or business trends, about “personal skill” which are appraised or undervalued, about senses and sensitivities legitimated and about specific practices conditioned by the used materials. To accomplish this task we analyze the international company Body Systems, thinking about those practices developed in La Plata. Two analysis categories are characteristic of the fitness culture and the symbolic violence associated: that person involved in gyms are clients of a body and in these institutions is (re)produce an ideal of body, the fit-body, particular of gyms companies. |
