SOICH, Darío. Disciplina fabril y estrategias de dominación corporal en una corporación automotriz transnacional. Runa [online]. 2007, vol.28, pp.93-110. ISSN 1851-9628.

This ethnographic research relates capitalist discipline and labour resistance through body dimension. On the shopfloors of PSA Peugeot-Citröen Argentina, we discover a variety of dominant strategies bodily situated which constrain the experience of each worker (factory codes, rules, disciplinary suspensions), a direct confrontation, a mechanism of power that exploit, dislocate and reconstruct the body profitably. Even though the factory discipline inscribes forms of dominance through the body, it is necessary to understand how workers resist being reduced to them. Oppositional tactics appear, incidental ways of protest inside the automotive labour process. Those practices of everyday life show an active cultural struggle in contexts of domination, subordination and insubordination.

Keywords : Capitalist discipline; Labor processes; Body control; Everyday creativity; Antidiscipline.
