Capacity building in modernity through family and school

Abstract

The article analyzes, through the story of two women, the social narratives about the body and its capabilities. The text examines the body condition and the ideas that determine forms of social integration besides the discipline through the school and family capacities. These stories are reorganized: 1) Discipline work skills and the body from the family and 2) Discipline the capacities and the body from the school. Methodological text is organized into three sections: capabilities as part of the body, school discipline and family discipline. It concludes how the modern individual prioritizes his body as a useful, seemingly, blurred tool of his capabilities as a whole.
