ROJAS CONTRERAS, Janeth. Contemporary gyms as material evidence of the change in corporeal discipline from modern to postmodern and its relation to agency and social context. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2013, n.16, pp.157-176. ISSN 1900-5407.

This article is a case study on the materiality of some contemporary gyms with weight training which show evidence of the shift from corporeal modern discipline to corporeal postmodern discipline. The gyms are located in a popular neighborhood (colony) of Mexico City. With this study of weight training artifacts some arguments are suggested in relation to the change in the use of this equipment by gender as well as the relation of these type of gyms with the social context of the colony.
