Abstract

RAMIREZ VILLASENOR, Karina. Body, supply and power. A look at the masculinities of masons in Yecapixtla, Morelos, Mexico. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.27, pp.280-308.  Epub Jan 20, 2021. ISSN 2007-8110.  https://doi.org/10.28965/2019-27-09.

The studies of masculinities, driven by the development of feminism and Men’s Studies since the 1980s, have focused on analyzing and understanding the social, cultural and historical reality in which men develop as generic subjects, with the aim of deepening the experiences, emotions, privileges and costs of masculinity. Within this line of research, it is recognized that the workspace is one of the institutions where gender learning is reaffirmed and rethought. That is why, from ethnography, this text seeks to deepen the construction of masculinities among a group of bricklayers aged over 50 in the northeastern region of Morelos. The body, power relations and the exercise of the economic supply constitute the axis of analysis.

Keywords : Gender; masculinities; body; power relations; provisioning.
