Abstract
This ethnographic research relates capitalist discipline and labour resistancethrough body dimension. On the shopfloors of PSA Peugeot-Citroen Argentina,we discover a variety of dominant strategies bodily situated which constrain theexperience of each worker (factory codes, rules, disciplinary suspensions), a directconfrontation, a mechanism of power that exploit, dislocate and reconstruct thebody profitably. Even though the factory discipline inscribes forms of dominancethrough the body, it is necessary to understand how workers resist being reducedto them. Oppositional tactics appear, incidental ways of protest inside theautomotive labour process. Those practices of everyday life show an active culturalstruggle in contexts of domination, subordination and insubordination.
