| Sumario: | This article takes stock of the concept of the body in social theory and considers the impact of work on the experience of the body in terms of damage and exhaustion. It begins by emphasising the importance of a phenomenological principle of opacity as opposed to an aspiration for transparency. Two definitions of work (anthropological and socio-historical) and two possible uses of the concept of exploitation are proposed, taking into account different manifestations of bodily harm and considering the ways in which the body adapts to the demands of work as a concern for the body (fitness, nutrition, analgesia, stimulants, or the cultivation of erotic capital). From the perspective of psychodynamics and the sociology of work, and combining Marxism and Foucauldian studies, the social relationship of exploitation and the need to optimise the body are addressed as experiences that lead to wear and tear and exhaustion. Finally, the materiality of thebody is proposed as a limit to its appropriation. |
