Abstract

In recent times, the body has become an ever more frequent object of study. So this study sets out to discuss the education of the body under capitalism, and especially in our present society. The question is asked: “How is the shape of the body determined in our present capitalist society?” The aim is to identify how the mediations to determine the shape of the body are established under this mode of production. The theoretical references used are those of Karl Marx, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Georg Lukács. This theoretical study shows that the production and consumer interests of the capitalist production mode determines the shape of the body.
