Abstract
Through a retrospective ethnography conducted in Jerez, Zacatecas with a group of old men with experience of migration, I argue that the social construction of masculinity is recreated and implemented by them, and by others, through the physical and symbolic construction of worker bodies. Through the reconstruction of the cultural cycle of life as well as the career and family pathways I show that men build and represent their bodies through two cultural mandates of masculinity (workers and suppliers), a notion that emphasizes the existence of certain regularities in the gender system, in this case, the constants of masculinity (Rose, 2008).
