El gimnasio de boxeo como proyecto pedagógico

2012, Revista Educación y Pedagogía

The boxing tradition has produced a teaching system which expands through time and space with remarkable regularity. It reproduces a series of technologies of self, and at the same time is inscribed in a gender symbolic order which gives hierarchical values and places to subjects; therefore, boxing is a technology of gender. The learning of the boxing practice integrates the fighters in a complex social structure, isolated and fortified as an exclusive preserve of masculinity in a way of working that incorporates several dimensions of body, gender and education.
